Finally saved enough $ to get my own gear. I am getting 2 pilot chutes, but I was wondering which sizes are best for me and which options I should get.
Likely I will jump mostly around 300-400ft objects. I have a chart from my FJC that says 46" would be right for that.
I guess I am asking what are the most common sizes. Should I get a "vented" one? ZP or F111?

Thanks,
John

BUT - best advice will be from your mentor or FJC instructor (remember, PC selection is affected by a number of factors, not just object height). It sounds like you are buying new (or at least, order new PCs) - the PC manufacturer will also be a good source for guidance.

Have Fun
