Parachute Care

(this is a duplicate posting from the "general" category, I just wanted to place it in this one as well to get further feedback! thanks all! )

Hi all.. am new to the sport and just purchased my first rig.. am getting practice packing my chute and have a concern.. having NOT mastered the whole packing thing, it is a certain struggle thru which I will sweat... some of which ends up on my chute. What effect does sweat have on Zero P fabric? Is there anything that I can do(besides covering myself from head to toe in anti persperant!) to keep my chute in tip top shape? (washing? wiping down? ) Thanks for your time and support

If flying is piloting a plane.. then swimming is driving a boat. I know why birds sing.. I skydive.
