I've eliminated the National because I don't like the idea of the rubber bands, so it's down to the Para-Phernalia Softie. The Micro-Softie seems the most attractive of their line, and I'm thinking one with the "thread-thru" adapters instead of snaps on the leg straps would be the most comfortable. I think you'll find that just about all emergency parachutes use rubber bands, my Mini-Softie certainly has them... Hmmm...curious! I'll put National back on the list long enough borrow one of the club member's to try one in the glider, but their 20 service life is still the lowest. Maybe it's type of rubber bands; for example, ones out of silicone could take an enormous temperature range. -- Change "netto" to "net" to email me directly Eric Greenwell Washington State USA |
