Xaos-27

Item: Xaos-27 
Manufacturer: Precision Aerodynamics   (1633 Hits)
Purpose: Main 
Shape Elliptical 
Cells 27 
Fabric: ZP 
   

Description:
In May 1998 we released the world's first 27-cell crossbraced canopy in the form of the Icarus Extreme VX. At that time we had developed and produced the world's most powerful swoop machine to date, but the VX exhibited an opening sequence that virtually limited it to being a swooping canopy, and hardly acceptable as a terminal velocity skydiving canopy.

During the four year period following our release of the Icarus Extreme VX, we continued to develop and refine the next generation prototype of a 27-cell crossbraced canopy, resulting in the Xaos-27.

88 Xaos, 27 cell
Rated by: nicolesheridan (more about me) on 2008-06-30 10:26:45 (user reviews) Review ID:2010

Pros: Openings, Flare Power, Rear Riser Responce
Cons: Absolutely None!!!

I flew my new 27 cell 88 Xaos this weekend and I absolutely fu#$@!g love it. Hands down the best canopy ever built in all aspects. I love the rear riser response on it, so easy to plane out. The toggle flare is outstanding and the openings are the ultimate wet dream smooth and on heading every single time. I did several straight in approaches and landed perfectly with tons of flare. The difference between flying it in half brakes and full flight is amazing. In half brakes or on my rears, I get a great glide and in full flight it takes me into super sonic. I love it. SO WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!! Alex Torre Skydive Taft

Xaos
Rated by: bendover (more about me) on 2004-12-22 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1144

Pros: sweet openings precision customer service rocks
Cons: packing new canopy sucks real bad

I only have a few jumps on my new xaos27 98 but after crossfire's which I love and a velocity several times and a Katana 3 times this xaos rocks. Demo as soon as possible 25 bucks for two weekends ya cant beat it. A swoopin machine.
