Hey all,
I've been flying with a Security 150 for quite a while. It is most comfortable. I tried a Security 350 and it is most uncomfortable. It's time to replace the 150. What chute do you suggest that is very comfortable for those 5+ hour flights?

Thanks Steve


Love my Softy, I have a backpack type that is extremely comfortable but by all accounts all their models are quite comfortable. Had a National backpack before the Softy and hoo boy... that thing was about as comfy as wearing a bag of bricks. Both have 26' round chutes, but the Softy also has a better canopy than the National (slower decent rate) so that's also worth considering since they're not all created equal.
