Round (PDA) Parachutes
The classic choice. Pull Down Apex (PDA) reserves are reliable, easy to pack, and affordable. The standard for decades.
Proven Reliability
The round parachute is simple. It relies on drag to slow you down.
- Pros: Easy to repack, cheaper, very reliable opening.
- Cons: Can oscillate (swing side to side) if not stable, slightly higher sink rate than squares.
