...does anyone actually use that double through loop?
Profile is lighter weight material, hybrid has a slimmer top, but more bulk on the bottom. I like my profile, but theres nothing wrong with the ld2. Both canopies pack about the exact same id say.

Pretty nice advertising. I really like the new pin cover.
ps And the ''Summit'' looks pretty cool too. Even though I don't see any sense in it, the TL can do everything the summit can ( floorplate closing loop on top and normal closing loop on the bottom flap). So what's the point of making the Summit?
But making something new is always cool!

I don't get it. Isn't that where you place your canopy? Am I overly high? How do you close the container if your loops aren't on your top and bottom flap?
So confused.

'''Trough''' loop. Both loops have a floorplate, see the vid, you'll get it. The canopy has 2 special holes, so the loops pass '''through''' the canopy and compress it.
