Description
From openings to landings: Stress-Free Fun
The Pulse is a lightly elliptical nine cell canopy designed for the active intermediate to experienced "fun jumper." Pack volume has been reduced significantly, by combining our proprietary low bulk fabric technology with our well-known zero-p fabric. The Pulse can give you stress free on heading openings, a very flat glide and easy landings. It is highly responsive, very capable, and lots of fun to fly.

Pulse 150
Pulse Rated by:

After doing around 50 jumps on a Pulse 150, W/L 1.3. I can say that it is a great little canopy.
Its openings were, in my opinion, somewhere between a Sabre 1 and a Sabre 2, and always on heading. Its controls seemed shorter than that of a Sabre, I found its flair to be slightly less powerful as well, although sill easy to land.
Its glide on full drive was a lot flatter than a Sabre 1 or 2, and slightly more so than a Pilot.
One of the best things about this canopy for me was its small volume and ease of packing, the 150 packed down to the size of a 135 Sabre.
Because of this, I would recommend this canopy to someone who is looking for a second, perhaps larger, canopy for day to day jumps that they can use in the same container as their sub-100 ft x-braced swooping machine.

Pulse 210 @ 1.21 WL

Demo'd a Pulse 210 a few weeks ago, and decided to buy one. The openings are great. About half the snivel of my Spectre and Sabre2 but opens very soft. Very flat glide but can burn off altitude if you need to with a deep toggle turn. Quick recovery. Outstanding in deep brakes, and flying rears you can stay up there forever. The demo had the landing upgrade, the one I bought (used) does not and I can't tell the difference, at least not at my 1.21 WL. Landing is great, plenty of flare power. And best of all, I have a 210 that fits perfectly in a 170 d-bag. Awesome canopy for getting more nylon in a smaller rig.

So far i have 40 jumps on my pulse 170. got it right from factory, not used. as most i was suprised how easy it was to pack. openings are on heading most of the time with the occasional 180, prob due to my packing. When i was loooking to buy this i read it had a weak flare. this is not true however it does have a delayed flare. when you pull sharply down it might take an extra split secont before the lift kicks in. so if you tie it like a say for example sabre then it will flare just a little later then you would be used to. Also takes some getting used to knowing where it wants to land as it flys alot farther with the sassme altitude then the sabre i was used to before it. Highly recommend to anyone starting out i think its somehting i can fly with for quite a while. Also the front risers are a little heavier then sabre but not so much more that they cant be pulled and used.
