Razzamattaz 0 #1 November 6, 2006 I'm thinking about getting my own rig but have a question. If I buy a new zp canopy, say a sabre 2, how many jumps will it last before it needs to be relined (roughly)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #2 November 6, 2006 Roughly? 500-700 is about average for most canopies with Spectra lines. I've seen some go out of trim in as little as 250 jumps and some people get 800 jumps before its too out of trim. Other line materials wear at different rates and need replaced on those schedules also.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
leapdog 0 #3 November 6, 2006 I beleive it depends on the rate and under what conditions of usage. Some jumpers have replaced at 500 jumps and other at 800 to 1000 jumps. I haven't heard of anyone waiting longer than 1000. This doesn't mean that there isn't a better answer.
