Canopy Material
Trimsetter™ collapsible sport pilot chutes are constructed using material from suppliers meeting the Parachute Industry Association's standards.
-
F111 - If you aren't sure, we recommend this one
- ZP - Slick and snappy. We highly recommend handles with tuck tabs for ZP pilot chutes
Size
Our default pilot chute has a 28" diameter canopy made of F111 material. For faster openings with a larger snatch force, you can increase the diameter and / or use ZP instead of F111.
