Curious about the noticeable differences between the two setups. Thanks.

Flik ultralite/ TL. Packs slimmer

...does anyone actually use that double through loop?

Profile is lighter weight material, hybrid has a slimmer top, but more bulk on the bottom. I like my profile, but theres nothing wrong with the ld2. Both canopies pack about the exact same id say.

yes

Jeb does.

If the bestest and most famous base jumper in the world does, maybe ill consider changing gear!

Pretty nice advertising. I really like the new pin cover.

ps And the ''Summit'' looks pretty cool too. Even though I don't see any sense in it, the TL can do everything the summit can ( floorplate closing loop on top and normal closing loop on the bottom flap). So what's the point of making the Summit?
But making something new is always cool!

I don't get it. Isn't that where you place your canopy? Am I overly high? How do you close the container if your loops aren't on your top and bottom flap?
So confused.

'''Trough''' loop. Both loops have a floorplate, see the vid, you'll get it. The canopy has 2 special holes, so the loops pass '''through''' the canopy and compress it.
