Spill Hole Diameter: 15.76"
Number of Gores/Panels: 18
Payload: 45-80 lbs. at a 5,000ft elevation (for more elevations view our decent rate chart)
Optionally you can add weather balloon attachments which creates a connection point at the top of the canopy with two lines across the spill hole (last picture for reference).
Classic: Classic shroud lines are made out of Mil-C 5040 Type IIA suspension line (225lbs Load Rating) and the canopy is made out of 1.9 oz. Ripstop Nylon. This style weighs 53 oz. and when packed by Spherachutes is 11"X9"X4.5". This chute has a nice balance between durability and weight, so if you want a multipurpose parachute with little limitations or aren't sure what to get, choose the Classic Spherachute.
Ultralight: Ultralight shroud lines are made out of Mil-C 5040 Type IA suspension line (100lbs Load Rating) and the canopy is made of .66 oz. Nylon Taffeta. Because of its weight and small packing size, the Ultralight is great for weather balloons, minimum diameter rockets, and high altitudes.
