I had two full rigs, both containers were Sunpaths. One Javelin and one of the first Odysseys off the production line (this is going back a ways.) Both rigs had PD mains and PD reserves, plus CYPRES AAD's. On top of several jump suits, including three that were competition quality with larger grips and reinforced seams. I competed in both 4-way and 8-way.

I am overstating things just a bit with the down payment on the house, but I did pay for the wedding and honeymoon to Maui by selling most of my gear. I actually still have my Javelin container. It's from 1995 and lacks the bridal protection that the later containers all have, so even back then it was obsolete and wasn't worth much.
