R-Max Review.
Rated by: jeffprovenzano (more about me) on 2007-12-04 08:03:06 (user reviews) Review ID:1905

Pros: Built Super strong! Reinforced throughout entire wing.
Cons: None.

I tested this canopy when it was first released in 2004. Made many test jumps with it and was very happy at the time. Since then I have not flown it because I have had no reserve rides (10,000 jumps with only 2 Malfunctions ever, thanks to my Xaos for its awesome openings, I never have to use my R-max) However, recently I had my 2nd Malfunction and had the opportunity to cut away and use the R-max again. And after 4 years I still find myself very pleased with this parachute. The fast but not hard openings and its performance. A great reserve, with reinforcements throughout the entire wing making it a very strong and reliable canopy. I also had a very soft landing thanks to the great flare that the canopy has. I would recommend this reserve canopy to everyone.
