I have 30 jumps now! I should be getting my A license soon and am getting more interested in buying my own gear. The gear rentals are costing $25 each jump.
I'm working out the details of the payback on dropping several thousand $$ on gear and determining what the best bet is for resale value, maintenance costs, safety, etc..
I haven't figured it all out yet, but do think it will make the most sense to buy solid used gear with all the current safety features, low usage (# of jumps), and a container that will barely fit the smallest canopy I have jumped, the 170. This would allow several years of use, the ability to downsize canopies as I get better, and still have some resale value when it's time to upgrade.
Time to start poking around at the gear shop...
