I like simpson shroud lines, DJ canopies and Stroud "bag in a bag" technology.

I've added Stroud bags to my DJ chutes.

DJ provides the best service i've found. Chutes go thru xxxx. They are a maintenance item for sure (if used regularly)

I can provide pics if wanted to the bag in a bag deal. It makes packing them so nice....I pull both chutes every run, so we get a lot of practice. :)
