Easiest chute to pack
« on: November 02, 2014, 07:32:45 AM »
I have a Simpson chute on my car and it works very well but it is a pain to pack . It just seems like the pack is too small for the chute . I have been thinking about a Stroud chute just because they are such nice people to deal with . Any thoughts ! Bill

I have nothing else to compare it to but have a Stroud and it is very easy to pack and has always opened .

Only time my Simpson is difficult is when the pilot is beat up and needs replacment, otherwise its just a simple one man job, extra set set of hands just get in the way.

White Racing and Stroud are very nice and easy to pack

for my new car, I've made the chute pack mount removable.  I find it easier to pack the chute on the ground then mount it on the car and fit the release cable.
