Tall dark and handsome

ESC ID 1461 / AUD$5,200

This rig is that older, wiser mate who shows up in a faded denim jacket, knows every bartender by name, and still out-dances kids half his age. Classic Mirage build, honest lines, zero drama. It’s not trying to impress you with carbon‑fiber sparkle; it’s here to deliver clean openings, tidy landings, and a silly amount of fun for not‑silly money.

• Mirage reliability. Built like a brick library. Hardware and patterning that age gracefully and shrug off real life.

• Volt 185 main. Lively but manners‑first—fun to fly, flares with feeling, and doesn’t punish you for being human.

• PD 176R reserve. The “call a responsible adult” button. CIs smile when they see PD on the card.

• CYPRES 2 on board. The seatbelt you forget you’re wearing.

• Priced for jump tickets. Spend your coin on sky, not showroom gloss. Upgrade pieces later if you ever feel fancy.

Returning to the sport? New jumper stepping up from rentals? Weekend warrior who wants a dependable daily driver? This is a stack‑jumps, build‑skill, grin‑all‑day setup. It’s the rig you grab for canopy courses, hop‑and‑pops, and sunset loads that accidentally turn into night jumps because you were having too much fun to stop.

Older? Yep. That’s the opportunity. Mirage containers wear in, not out. Fabric and stitching are solid. Lines and loops are consumables—we’ll tell you exactly where they sit today and what’s next on the maintenance runway so you can budget like a grown‑up and still feel like a kid.
