Canopy material

[JFC3 0]

So what exactly are our canopies made of. What's the name of the material. Nylon? But not like the nylon a woman slips on her leg so what is it?

I did a forums search and came up with nothing. Any clues? I'd just write PD but this place seems to have some pretty smart folk so let's have at it.

Cool, PZ. Just began reading the first link but now when Grandma asks (honestly her name is Nana, but you get the picture) I can explain it's "high tenacity nylon" with "enhanced polymer technology."

Seriously, Thank. I'll give it a read this wet weekend.

Hey JFC3, check sundays wx. It should be a good day for your new rig to come out and play. Beer!

KENTUCKY!!! What's up Champ!ClassARSL.

That bad boy's not coming in until 12/6! But my new FF suit came in and I'm picking it up tomorrow. I'm second guessing the color locations though. But it's FREE! Or a gift or something like that. It's going to be sunny tomorrow but windy. I need to get some last jumps in on the 150 before I jump out with a 135 stapped to my back!

Will you be there tomorrow? You know...in Billy's backyard?
