Pulse190
Rated by: mpchilling on 2009-10-28 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Pulse in Skydiving Gear and Equipment: Main and Reserve Parachutes: Performance Designs

Pros: Easy to pack & on heading openings
Cons: Lame color choice

Demoed a Pulse 190, it packed up smaller then my SA2-170 in my M4, I had to shorten the closing loop, I rolled the nose and had quick openings that were just a little firm. One sub-term, pitched after a one second delay and opened in 300ft, but soft, even trying to get it to open off heading resulted in just a slow stable turn. Toggle turns ok, easy to flat turn and stay under the canopy, FR pressure was firm but I did a few 180’s. Much flatter then my SA2-170 I kept overshooting the pea pit. It flared the best for me with a one stage flare, and it felt just a little weak, overall I liked the Pulse and I’m thinking of buying one because I can upsize and keep the same container. I have about 950 jumps 8 on the Pulse.
