I have noticed same effect but more with zp fabrics. There might be some coating component on those fabrics that cause my fingers skin to dry and crack. jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

Hello Harro I am not familiar with Australian packing ratings so need to ask do you mean reserve or main packing? Is there any info on Aussie packing ratings on web? I think you could try finding hints and tips on canopy or rig manufactures sites like mirage: http://www.miragesys.com/product_info/on-line_manual/main.html or http://www.miragesys.com/product_info/on-line_manual/packing1.html or from rws http://www.relativeworkshop.com/rigging/rsvpacking.pdf or from sunpath http://www.sunpath.com/downloads/Jav%20Manual%20Rev%2001%20Iss%2001.pdf or http://www.parachutes-de-france.com/us/parachutes/info_data.htm hopefully you can find what you were looking jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---

My speeds before opening are around 240km/h and with first board jumps I used good old PD 193 (+1000 jumps) which didn´t open too fast and after I was assured I could manage to open stable I changed to BlueTrack pro 120 with larger slider to prevent those crisp French openings. With larger slider no slammers. I use advance size board and load BT pro 120 around 1,6 lbs/sqf Jussi ---Ubi est actio hic?---
