Vectran Line Breakage

Recommended Posts

My previous Vectran-lined canopy had well over 700 jumps on the suspension lines and went through a couple sets of control lines before I had the entire thing relined. The current lineset has about 200 jumps or so on it but the canopy has been retired to storage at the moment. There were no broken lines at any time AFAIK.

We had a SET 400 go through 3 Vectran line kits (from the factory) and more than a thousand jumps with no breakage.
The primary reason we replaced lines was because they got grey and ugly pretty quickly and they clashed with the owner's sense of fashion.
Hee!
Hee!
Mind you, none of our Spectra-lined SET 400s have broken liens and it has been so long since a Dacron-lined Strong 425 broke a line that I have forgotten.
