gus 1 #1 June 5, 2007 I'm looking at a 2nd hand canopy that I might buy, it's about 4 years old with 50 - 100 jumps on it. 1 water landing. The dacron lines are quite dirty and they smell quite strongly of damp. They also feel a bit 'stiff'. And I don't have enough experience with wet gear to know if I should worry about it? Or what I can look for? The actual fabric of the canopy seems fine and in keeping with the jump numbers. It's possibly been sat packed for a little while which might not help the smell.

gus 1 #2 June 7, 2007 Nothing? The advice I've had offline is that if it's mildew it shouldn't affect the dacron because it's a polymer. But I'll never get rid of the smell. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
