GENERAL
There are two functional differences between the Odyssey and the Legacy:
- The lateral straps on the Odyssey are “cut-it” or sewn down 2″ inside of the lower corners of the container, where the laterals on the Legacy are sewn all the way out to the edge of the container. The Odyssey gives a snugger, custom feel where the Legacy allows for a greater range of body sizes to jump a single rig and is less constricting.
- The Legacy reserve static line is attached to the left main riser. It uses the classic RSL technique of pulling the reserve ripcord as the jumper falls away from the malfunctioning main. The Odyssey RSL is attached to the right main risers using the patented Collins Lanyard as well as the optional SkyHook RSL system. The Legacy cannot be outfitted with a SkyHook.
Please see our container Canopy Compatability Chart. There are special circumstances such as f111, low bulk material, or jumps in excess of 500 that allow larger canopies to fit in smaller containers. Note that line types, alternative deployment methods (pull-out), etc… will have an effect on canopy sizing as well.
TSO (Technical Standard Order) is a minimum performance standard for specified materials, parts, and appliances. When authorized to manufacture a material, part, or appliances to a TSO standard, this is referred to as TSO authorization. Receiving a TSO authorization is both design and production approval. Information on the TSO label is your Harness/Container serial number, harness size, container size and date of manufacture as well as the rated TSO.

CONTAINER CARE & REPAIR
Slippage is commonly caused by dirt build up between the hardware of SP888. The use of isopropyl alcohol to clean the hardware should help.
All new Javelins come with an RSL installed. If the RSL is removed it must be noted on the data card as an alteration by an FAA certified master rigger or foreign equivalent.
The SkyHook became available on our odyssey systems in February of 2007, unfortunately it cannot be retrofitted to systems prior to this date.
The harness can be resized, however the container cannot be changed. There are three major portions to a harness resize: Main Lift Web, Lateral, and Legs. If you contact us with a complete set of measurements we can provide an estimate of the cost.
