Similar to an Alpha/Space 105 but it may open a little harder.
I expect to compare to a stilleto the riser pressure will be lighter and the brakes slightly deeper (not really deep just less twitchy than stilleto)
history
1. vipers were made
2. small improvement and renamed (Impulse) sold here as Space and Alphas.
3. Sky Depot went under (distributor for Atair parachutes), then Dan Preston did a really good job marketing the new Cobalt (slightly improved Alpha...so they say ). and that is that.

Viper have better openings than stilletos (less twitchy and less spinning) better manufacture quality like the cobalt.

Agreed. The Viper flew "similar" to a Stiletto, but in my opinion better. I had a 150 in one of my extra rigs for a while and really liked it. I really just bought it to re-sell, but would have liked to keep it as a demonstration main. Openings are great, packing is a breeze, and they can be had for a song in the used market. Toggle range is deeper than a Stiletto, just like every other performance parachute on the market. Your Viper 105 will fly and perform almost exactly like a Stiletto 107, but not be nearly as twitchy. Enjoy.
