J0nathan 0 #1 February 20, 2012 hi, i was told that a pdr 176 is a good choice as reserve for me, but i saw that the smart reserve is cheaper. i dont know a lot about reserves so i dont wana just buy the smart reserve 175 only to find out i cant jump with it for some reason. so is a smart reserve 175 similar to a pd176 ? i weight 64 kg ( from the wing loading it should be fine ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #3 February 20, 2012 They are similar, the Smart reserve is a good reserve, and the wingloading seems reasonable. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dragon2 2 #5 February 20, 2012 I've jumped both the smart 120 and the pd126r, and i liked the (flare of) smart better but I would be happy with either reserve. The PD-R will have a better resale value but will cost you more up front. Either way, you can't go wrong. ciel bleu, Saskia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
