Hello all I am returning to jumping after a few years away. There are so
many canopies out there now it's amazing. I jumped a Sabre loaded at 1.5
and really liked that performance, but put a few dozen jumps on the Spectre
and loved it. Didn't care for the radical nature of the ellipticals, but
like the idea of the airlocked canopies. I enjoy a little surfin' and build
up a little speed with double fronts, but am not a hooker by any stretch. I
am leaning towards the Spectre b/c it was just so damn fun to fly and opened
like butta, but am open to any suggestions.

You may want to look at Brian Germain's Lotus. Relatively low aspect ratio
and airlocks.
