0-3 cfm handling vs porosity
this is the article from 1999 http://www.hpac.ca/pub/?pid=158 abut reserve packing and porosity test ------------------------------------------------------
Among Precision’s conclusions were:
After testing, the fabric had porosity increases ranging from approximately four-fold to slightly over twelve-fold compared to before testing. The fabric of newer design has generally better porosity characteristics, in that the fabric starts at lower porosity before handling, and does not degrade to as high a porosity as the fabric of older design. The porosity increases seen in these tests were representative of porosity increases seen on actual parachutes in service. The porosity increases seen on actual parachutes are due to the handling of the parachutes, mainly during the packing process. Parachutes that undergo such a porosity increase may not pass the TSO tests under which the parachute was originally certified.

so the base canopy with 100 pack job mostly in the sun, do you noticed degradation in flare power, any body made any test on there own canopy,
Is the newer 0-3 cfm material how much better than the old any body know ?
