New Jumper Gear to avoid

They seem to be hit or miss. Very hit or miss. But their new Glide container is very sexy! Although they're still trying to work the kinks out of it as well.

That describes every manufacturer and vendor that I have dealt with in my 10 years in the sport. Even ones that I was die hard supporters for when it came to gear preference.

5. F111 is bad
6. 7 cells are bad.

So... what sort of reserve did you have in mind?

Do they still exist? Maybe it's a US thing.

Yeah, they do. You can still buy brand new 0-3cfm canopies from Flight Concepts, precision aerodynamics (Falcon), Jumpshack (few different models, mostly students), North American Aerodynamics, Eiff Aerodynamics.... I don't see PD 7 and 9-cell classic models on their website, I would be interested if they still make them.\

Edited to add: I jumped a brand new Classic 282 for accuracy for a few years, ended up selling it to a coach for the Golden Knights to use as his personal rig off-the-job.
