You hesitate on a size rather than another one, regarding on "shall I be at top or mini load ?" Well, knowing the Montain as a pretty high basic speed: imagine your take off at 4000m (12'000fts) with a half air density, plus your back-pack and your tired leggs....sounds good? My example: going out the shower, I weight 72Kg (145 pounds), I could think about Montain 25 (70-90Kg) Now, lets take a look:clothes and climbig material 10 Kg. Canopy,harness,helm 5.5Kg. All together I reach already 72+10+5.5=87.5Kg I reach the max load (90Kg). No fear, the Eden carries easely even overload, but choosing the Montain 28 would put me in the middle of the weight range...that's much better in all cases.... Need more infos ore want to share your experiences ?
