Atom tandem
Rated by: skydiverton on 2003-09-15 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Atom Tandem in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: No velcro on container / No flare toggles
Cons: Hard openings on older models/ stiff droque pouch

This rig has all design items also on a sport rig used for freeflying. That does not mean I recommend freeflying with a tandem.

No velcro. Rig is not as high. Perfect for smaller people.

New BT80 tandemcanopy opens nice softly and has low toggle pressure (no flare lines). Canopy is 100% zepo.

Only packing the droque requires some attention because of a fairly stiff pouch.

On regular tandemcanopy's Instructors tend to take the low-weight passengers. On the BT please give me a 100kg passenger. This canopy loves wingload (and still flyes and flares perfect with a nice toggle pressure)
