I have a question for the forum. Would I get much more range or other benefits from swapping my 3m PT skin for a 3.5m quest? I’m thinking better low end but still similar top end so more range overall? The 3m PT skin packs down super easy so don’t necessarily need an upgrade in pack ability. It’s a bit squirly and nervous in its top end so maybe the quest is a bit smoother?
Just made that exact swop.
The 3m Skin has better top end.
Have had the 3.5m Quest in 30knot gusts and it is manageable - any para is going to jump around a bit in those big winds though.
As a heavier rider, the 3.5m better low end makes it much easier to get on foil which was the issue I had with the 3m PT Skin.
3.5m Quest stash size is a fair bit larger than the PT Skin though - very different material.
If you are getting up on foil ok with your 3m Skin, I don't think the Quest will give you enough benefits to justify a swopover in the higher wind ranges , the PT Skins are a very decent parawing.
