TARC
These TARC chute are great for performance, weight and budget. The octagon shape provides higher drag and better stability than the hexagons that everyone else manufactures. With TARC teams in mind, these chutes are highly customizable and can be ordered in sizes from 9-42 inches in inch increments (Just order the next larger size and specify the size you need in the order notes section. Example: if you needed a 16 inch chute, order a 18 inch chute and put "need 16 inch" in the notes). You can also get custom line colors to match your rocket's theme.

Octagon shape which provides higher drag than a hexagon
1.1oz (thin mil) ripstop nylon
