might be a stupid question but.....

i havent jumped in a month or so. (waited for new canopy) but my buddy and i planned a day yesterday, and i had kept my PC in the boc pouch. i have done this before and havent really noticed. but the zp material is crazily rinkled. does anyone know of any prior problems with inflation or durability linked to really rinkled zp material. I have jumped with rinkled pc's before, but my pc now takes the prize. pm me or post.

thanks to all.

cheers

The wrinkles go away when the pilot chute inflates. Shake it out and pack it back up. Use wisely.

I did a practice pitch after leaving my PC stowed for about a week and it landed on the ground just like it was stowed. Like a little torpedo. It was a great pitch ;) From now on I will always repack the PC directly before a jump to avoid hesitation.

I would be more concerned about the BOC spandex than the PC ripstop...
This is why I always pack my PC just before climbing and I store my rigs always with the PC out of the BOC...

always pack your pc as close to the jump as posible.

Your pc will be just fine just repack it and give it some fresh air..

soon as it has cracked open first time the rinkel will dissaper.

I really hate wrinkles, so one time i ironed my pc. Turns out i shouldn't have used the linen setting. Anyone looking to be a test jumper i've got a free 42 for you.

that free 42 is that inkluding shipment
