I have had my Silhouette now for just over a year. It's a great first canopy for anyone!!! I did my research and for my first canopy I decided to get a Silhouette 190, I weigh 155 and have an exit weight of about 170. I am at a 1:1 ratio, and this canopy performs!!! Great toggle input, fast turn recovery, and a great glide. Yes it's a little heavy on the front risers, but I doubt you are buying this to do any type of swooping. I would recommend this canopy to anyone that's looking to stay a little conservative yet really fun to fly, especially students in transtiton!! I love it!!
