do you still have to use wading?

I do. Dont want to take a chance on the chute melting

What is the drag coefficient?

I use the following link to determine the payload decent rate. It has worked well. http://www.onlinetesting.net/cgi-bin/descent3.3.cgiFrom what I found these chutes are rated for an 850 gram load. Iv had up to 550 gram load and all have successful recoveries.Hope this helps

Older style but still good.

Good. Not the updated chute they are selling in late 2025-into 2026. This is like the old expert kit red chutes.

The Teddy Bear survived!

I don't know much about it. One of my son's remarried. The new "step daughter" liked it though. I think she wanted to tie a small teddy bear to it and "air drop" Teddy. As I understand it, Teddy lived thru the ordeal...
