<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Alex, <br>When I was getting back into the sport I bought Lori's old Omega 149 and I put about 50-100 jumps on it. I was about 160-165 lbs. at the time. I really liked it for a 7 cell. Much faster than a Triathlon & flared better too. It would dive out of the sky & had a real nice swoop/flare. The Omega is a semi-elliptical 7 cell. Probably a lot like the old Diablo from Aerodyne.<br><br>Check on Dropzone.com. There are quite a few independent opinions about the Omega. I also demo'ed a Safire 2 at 2013 Redemption. It is a very nice canopy as well. I think the Safire 2 is an all around better canopy than the Omega. I now have a Pilot 150 & I love it. I bought the standard ZP fabric. I'd talk to Lucky Chuck. He can get you a better deal than Icarus. FYI: Both Icarus & Aerodyne have demo programs.<br><br>Just my 2 cents...... hope this helps.<br>Mark Kolesik<br><br><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: bhareck@gmail.com<br>Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2014 14:33:33 -0600<br>To: members@skydivelspc.com<br>Subject: [Members] Icarus Canopies -- Safire2/Omega<br><br><div dir="ltr">Anyone have any experience flying with either/both of the Icaruse Safire2/Omega?<div><br></div><div>I'm looking at quite probably purchasing one or the other new, and would value any opinions between the two as well as how they might compare to a Triathlon. </div>
