Hi guys,

I need to buy a SET LINE, for my PD SPECTER 170, and I wonder what kind of line is right for her.
- 525 Dacron , - 550 Microline, - 825 Microline . !???


Thanks,
Best Regards

Whichever one you prefer.

the Standard is the 825 microline, but if you like softer openings the Dacron will be nice. If you would like to need another lineset pretty soon, the 550 microline is good for that :)

525 Dacron

I got my Triathlon 160 relined with Dacron. Getter than ever.:)

I'm a big fan of Dacron lines, and have had them on a Silhouette, Sabre 2, and Spectre. Several of the other 'older' and or 'larger' (I'm both!) jumpers at my DZ have also switched, and none of us would go back to microline.

The only disadvantage is increased bulk, so if your canopy is really tight in your container, or you're really worried about that extra bit of parasitic drag, you might want to stay with microline. Otherwise, give Dacron a try! It's less expensive than microline too!
