With this new fabric only your rigger would know you weren't cool . Good point, but I am my rigger. Shit!

diablopilot 2 #28 January 22, 2005 QuoteLike I said, "Someone jumping a main loaded at 1.8 is not likely to be shopping a reserve loaded a 1.1. " I would, if I could fit it in my gear. If I could replacce my 126 reserves (aprox 1.6 loading) with a size or two bigger, I would. Oh and Paratec has released a reserve they claim packs smaller due to the fabric it's made of. I've seen one and it does pack smaller. No idea about the durability.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

No idea about the durability. PV's Quick allegedly packs about 10% smaller than other similar-sized reserves, but I haven't been able to find packing volume figures to back that. What's the name of the reserve you are talking about? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #31 January 22, 2005 Here's what I want to know 1) What is the tear strength? Remember why PD said they wouldn't use ZP for a reserve? I'd like to know the fast and slow tear strength of this fabric. 2) Tensile strength. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
