  1. Hi have put about 6 jumps on my brand new ZPX Pilot.

    I am very impressed with this canopy and for a 168' it is more than I expected and am happy that I didnt downsize to 150' !!
    I have a about 1.1 loading.
    Even on my first canopy (150') this 168' easily out-performs it in turn responsiveness and in the landing.
    it seems to have decent forward speed and was jumping in 18kt winds.

    for a new canopy, it is reasonably easy to pack (still slippery) but from memory even ZP used canopies were only slightly easier.

    I can see myself definately sticking with Pilot for a long time!

    Do yourself a favour and test jump one or just buy it!

    The ZPX seems to pack a little smaller, but I would have thought 17% would be hugely noticable, but I am sure that this will improve after breaking in a little (ie.50-100 jumps).....and also when my packing technique improves also ;-)

    I can see why all the reviews are mostly positive for this canopy!

    Blue Skies!
