Reserve loading charts:

When choosing a reserve, using your exit weight and the worst possible scenario you can think of, consider the size canopy you would trust your life with at that moment...

Below are extended loading charts to advise you in the purchase of the appropriate reserve canopy for your exit weight

You will find the Perfomance Designs canopies to have a stronger suspended weight than alot of the other available reserve canopies.

The table below will guide you in choosing the best sized reserve for your exit weight
