big mesh, small mesh. what exactly would be the difference in function and performance in subterminal and terminal jumps? pros/cons to both? thanks

cool. didnt see the article on the types of sliders.
=)

Most canopy manufacturers will have one or more sliders that they make for their specific canopies. The design criteria are reasonably simple (aspect ratio, material, overall size) but their permutations can be complex, and they way they interact with different canopies can vary. In other words, a large mesh slider for a FOX 205 may not have the desired effect if transplanted to a Blackjack 310.


Your best course of action is to contact the manufacturer of your specific canopy and ask them about a slider for it.
