Does anyone have any experience with jumping smaller Peak or Trango 3 parachutes?

I weigh 170 pounds (77 Kg). I am thinking of getting a Peak 185, or maybe a Peak 205.

I won't be opening close to walls / hillsides. I am curious how it will perform landing.

Thanks for any advice.

I've seen Sean Chuma swooping his quite regularly at your bridge. I believe it's pretty small (around 200).

EDIT: It is a Peak, not a Trango.

Thanks. I reached Chuma and he gave me a big thumbs up on the canopy.

Jt,

i highly recommend trying the Niner from Atair aswell.

Contact Andrej or Stane. I'm sure they'll help you out.

Thank you. I contacted them yesterday.

The Niner is not on their website. What do you know about it?

Thanks

JT

Niner will only be available from next year on I believe?

Introducing the future of Wingsuit base canopies!! I give you "The Niner 24" from Atair. Great openings, amazing heading performance and a sweet flare!! Final testings are now in session!!
