Otter 0 #1 February 20, 2004 I´ve just read in PD´s web page a question related to F111 vs ZP fabrics on Reserve canopies. I would like to know if anyone can tell whether Parachute de France Techno Reserves are made up of F111 material or not. In their owners´ manual I could only find a reference to it´s permeability; quote "... canopies have both upper and lower skins made with fabric of which permeability does not exceed 5 cfm (cubic feet of air through one square foot per minute at 1/2" of water pressure)".--------------- Alex / FLY4FUN Team - Curious? ready, set, CLICK!

velo90 0 #3 February 20, 2004 The last time I rode my Techno reserve I noticed it felt and looked like F-111. Despite the rumours around they do flare very nicely thankyou. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimbo 0 #6 February 21, 2004 There is at least one that is (or was) made with a ZP topskin and F111 bottom skin, that's the Raven-MZ. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 0 #7 February 23, 2004 This says it is: http://www.dropzone.com/gear/Detailed/54.html However I don't think any canopy has any real F111 in it anymore (?) but the name stuck. Anyway here's a bit about the french fabrics: http://www.parachutes-de-france.com/us/parachutes/catalogue/canop_intro.htm ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
