    Re: What base canopy should beginners use?

    DISCLAIMER: i only have 25 jumps on mixed gear. i would suggest buying a vented canopy, and a 2 pin rig. wait and buy a used setup after bridge day, you can score a fat rig for like 2000.

    i have a helium container and am waiting for my atair OSP 245 to ship, this setup cost me just over 3grand new. plus pilot chutes and body armour and stuff, i spent about 3700 bux, but like i said you can get setup for alot cheaper if you buy used.

    Not being a dick but the best canopy is a
    lot like the best car - very subjective and
    depends on its intended use.

    How many skydives do you have?

    What canopy have you liked the most?

    How much do you weigh?

    Where do you live?

    Any idea what objects you will be jumping?

    Do you already have a container?

    You answer those questions and the guys
    on here will be better able to help you.
