Why Jumpers Choose Fin16
Your reserve is the last line of defense, so the rigger who packs it matters. Because Fin16 is run by an FAA Master Parachute Rigger and Designated Parachute Rigger Examiner, your gear is handled by someone who also tests and certifies other riggers.
In addition, every job is documented and logged on your data card. If we find a problem, you hear about it first, and nothing extra is done without your approval. Finally, the loft is right on the drop zone at Skydive Paraclete XP, so dropping off your rig is easy when you are already out jumping.
