Line types

[ddettloff17 0]

Hey guys,

This past season was my first season of skydiving and i've seen in para gear and some parachutist articles, people talk about the differences in lines. I know absolutely nothing about lines and was looking to learn as much as i can in the off season.

Thanks in advanced!

Start with this thread and do some more searches on things like Dacron lines, kevlar lines, micro-line.
It's also useful to go to wikipedia to read about things like High Modulus Aramid (HMA lines)

This is a pretty big topic, but that should give you something to start with.
