Bob Carter Posted August 27, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2015 In light of a recent discussion concerning T5 parachutes, I thought it would be interesting to see what people have and discuss the T5 Main Parachute, Reserves, and Camouflage canopies in an attempt to learn more about them. Please share whatever you have and I invite any discussion of these to learn more about them. I'll present some of my T5 mains first and progress into the reserves later. Excuse my poor photography skills ! Starting with a White harness Reliance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
