What is the lightest, smallest parachute that will support a 200 lb. pilot?

Fred


Nationals are/used to be the lightest of the parachutes available in the
U.S.

My National 360 is not very comfortable in my Libelle, but I bought it
primarily for use in power plane with a very small cockpit. I like my
Strong 305 for glider use.
