Hey guys, I am getting some damage on the inside of my tailpocket where it meets up with the lines (pics attached). There are very few jumps on this canopy and the damage is even starting to eat through to the other side. I think it's from something I'm doing wrong. Any advise on how I can prevent further damage would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry if this has been covered, I couldn't find anything.

Honestly, I don't think that's anything to worry about. I have dozens of tail pockets that show more wear than that. It's normal from the lines being extracted quickly.

If you wear a hole all the way through, just patch it and keep going.

ok cool, thanks.

The coating on the inside of some black para pack starts flaking off really early. I wouldn't worry about that at all. The inside of one of my tonysuits looks way worse than that after like 20 jumps.

I had to patch mine wore straight through after 100 jump or so. Depends on how you stack your lines. My patch ha lasted for over 400 jumps.
