my first one
Rated by: kefran (more about me) on 2005-08-11 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1353

Pros: excellent stability, good openings, easy to fly
Cons: didn't find any

Hi, i simply love my ZPX 185, i load it at 1.14 ratio and every single flight is a dream. you can ask a lot to it. it will be there anytime. i have now 35 jumps with it. Landings can be real smooth if you want to, but if you want some more «spice» you can easily have some speed ones ... it's just a matter of experience :-) I highly recommend this main chute to any beginner !

Nice canopy for beginners.
Rated by: Zoter (more about me) on 2004-10-17 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:952

Pros: Cheap,Stable, Reliable, Smooth Openings, Easy to pack
Cons: Fast descent rate

Nice canopy...lovely fast, on heading openings (without being aggresive ) and flies very nicely. Perfect for me as a'first' canopy offering the balance of reasonable performance with reliability. A known issue with this canopy is a fast descent rate , which is noticable but does not affect performance too badly.....even on a couple of deep spots it can still 'float' quite well if you know how . Lovely landings, very stable. And the coating on top of the ZP also saves you alot of grief when packing. Dunno about the smaller canopies ort higher wingloadings...but for a 'first' canopy off student gear this 215 is a whole heap of 'safe' fun . And as for the customer service issues...I had two queries answered perefectly within 12 hours.....so farI have no cause to di the canopy or the company... Edited 10/04 to add...I recently had a premature deployment in a stand ......this canopy opened fine and after ground inspection there was not a thing wrong with it at all.....I weigh 215lbs and the deployment was at a speed in excess of 180mph....no canopy damage at all= one really really tough parachute !!!

ZP135.exe
Rated by: cpives (more about me) on 2004-08-20 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1050

Pros: Openings, performance, price,ease of packing
Cons: none

Had a ZP135.exe for eighteen months now, and I love it! Superb landings, constant on heading openings, and very easy to pack for a ZP canopy. Never had a problem getting back from a bum spot yet, even with the canopy's descent rate. If you know how to do it, then you'll be fine! Can't think of a bad thing to say about it!
