The Troll is a low aspect ratio 7-cell canopy that is built with the highest quality materials and is heavily reinforced in crucial high load areas such as bridle attachment points and suspension lines. This enables it to withstand the heavy demands of modern day BASE-jumping. The Troll’s unique aerofoil is slightly tapered on the upper surface. This makes for a more efficient wing with less drag.
All Troll canopies have Dacron lines, a unique tail pocket design that allow the lines to be securely stowed. All Troll canopies are made of F111 fabric. Troll canopies are available with or without MDV technology, the choice depends on what kind of jumps you plan on doing The profile of the Troll allows comfortable openings, great canopy rides and precision landings.

Pressurisation???
Review by: rakkers, 2008-04-10
Opening on slider down/removed jumps are quick but the canopy often seems like it is about to collapse as it struggles to inflate the end cells. It makes it worse when you pull the brakes to release them. Personally I would never attempt a free fall lower than 260 ft, preferably 300ft. My mentor regularly does a 220 ft free fall with an ace canopy (also non vented) without too many problems although he goes straight from releasing the brakes into a flare.
Unless it is essential do not release the brakes to early. While the canopy is still pressurizing the deeper brakes that you apply while releasing the brakes makes the canopy buffer.
The end cells also take their time inflating (probably due to the wing loading). So much so that turning soon after deployment is very slow.
Flying and landing applying deep brakes is sweet. Once it opens and pressurizes it is a pleasure to fly :)
