diablopilot 2 #2 June 10, 2004 I think for the same price you can get a tried and true PD reserve, with much better resale value, or for a few bucks less you can get a great deal on the SMART reserve from Aerodyne. The Smart is built like a brick shit house but doesn't land like one.......---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

badlock 0 #4 June 10, 2004 My rigger told me, that the speed is one of the most proven reserves available. He said, he would only trust in two products: The PD reserve and the ParateC Speed 2000. So, I ordered a 170 Speed for my rig. The reserve packs amazing small (my rig looks like a 120-gear), but offers a really hughe stability, compared to many other products because of the modern materials and the intelligent construction. The european freefly champions uses also Speed 2000 reserves. But I have to agree, that the resale value on a PD is higher in countries, where nobody uses Speed Reserves. Don't be a Lutz!

diablopilot 2 #6 June 10, 2004 Quotepack volume wsa the big thing that caught my eye. The pack volume is reportedly low, but one might want to find out how they measure their square footage. The sizes are NOT the same as other brands. You can only shove so much fabric into so little space.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

riggerrob 643 #7 June 10, 2004 Distrust any volume or area number published by a canopy manufacturer ... as they use a variety of measuring methods. The only reliable volume numbers are published by container manufacturers. Let's hear from people who have jumped Speed reserves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
