It's more than slight.

We're not seeing the same thing. The RAGE looks thicker to me.

Yup, me too. And it's 10 sq.ft. smaller, so all things being equal, it should in fact be thinner.

Still a cool design though, and probably no thicker than my Velocity.

I see the same. It is still a nice design, and as I think has been mentioned if the techology could be combined with a rigid (x-braced) airfoil it might make a monster of a canopy. May be hard to do based on how far the nose rolls back into the cell. Complexity of build may be the hurdle.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

Ok, ok, thicker,....thinner,...., equal....whatever!
Give us europeans a chance!
We try hard to keep things moving and I think we´ve did a pretty good job in this case!
However, I like it and everyone out there that get´s a chance to fly it should do so. It´s a really nice canopy and worth a try!
Peace!

ROCK ON,.....HARD!
Proud European!!

Oh I will! I personaly believe there is more innovation happening in Europe than in the US when it comes to canopy design right now.

One of my current favorite non crossbraced 9 cell elipticals is produced there.
