Changes

I've tried two different parachutes. The first is a cheap, no brand parachute that only cost me $10 delivered from Amazon. <jfs id="B01DEL8RN8" noreferb="true" nonl="t" msrp="9.99" n="Physport 56 Inch Running Parachute"/>. The second was $22 at the time (<jfs id="B002CLK21C" nonl="t" msrp="922.99" n="SKLZ Speed Chute" noreferb="true"/>) and is branded as SKLZ. Both parachutes seem to be made of pretty much identical black fabric with a silver colored lining. As near as I can tell, there about the same size. The white mesh that links the parachute to the strap is softer and perhaps slightly higher quality on the SKLZ, but there's not much in it. The biggest difference is in the strap, with the cheap parachute just having some Velcro to tie around your torso. The SKLZ has a waist strap that's much wider, and has a backpack style clip rather than Velcro to fast around your waist. It also has a metal ring at the back so that the parachute can move a little more freely from side to side without twisting your torso. There's also a clip to attach the parachute to the waist strap. The strap on the cheaper parachute is a little shorter, but not enough to make a practical difference. I found that I could attach the cheaper parachute to the ring on the SKLZ and they were both positioned equally. Personally, I would be inclined to get the cheaper of the two.
