How durable is the G4 standard elastic lumbar support? Doesn elastic wear out?
Elastic does wear out. Mirage Systems has done extensive research to find an elastic blend that is both durable and provides stretch. Max Cohn of Generation Freefly probably puts our container through more rigorous jumps than anyone else. Max has made well over 1000 jumps on his Mirage G4’s and they are not showing any signs a premature wear. We had thought that the elastic lumbar support would last approximately 300-400 jumps. Max’s long-term durability tests have far surpassed our estimates. The elastic lumbar supports are easily replaceable. Replacement elastic bands will will be replaced free of charge for the life of your container by Mirage Systems.
