I bought a chute from UPscaler. I wanted a custom orange and blue chute that was different. It is similar and shape to a Rocketman or Skyangle but the checker pattern makes it standout. I can not remember how much I paid for it, but it is good quality at a good price.
Plus:
1) Quality: Seams are well sewn and it held up to 3 flights thus far and show no damage. Good quality 1.1 oz ripstop.
2) Performance: It is a 3-4 foot chute and packs like that and brought down a 2.5 lb rocket at about 16-17 ft/s.
3) The unique design is one that I have not seen before. It stood out at our launch.
Cons:
I can not think of any. Initially, I was worried the lines were thin. I prefer slightly thicker. They are near 1/8 round nylon cord. Then again, they have worked without a flaw, so I may have to rethink that.
Overall: A good chute that I would recommend to others and purchase again.
