I am already gear "shopping", reading about different canopies, and wondering if the Silhouette chutes are as good for new guys as all the design reviews say...any suggestions will be most welcome...thanks in advance!

skymama 35 #2 July 15, 2012 Welcome to the forums! To answer your question, I don't really know too many people who buy Silhouettes for their first canopy, but I'm sure someone will come along and prove me wrong. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
