Default washing the parachute's sheepskin pad

Robert, thanks - I didn't know Strong offered that service! My casing is badly sweat stained, and I was afraid to wash it myself. Fortunately, it doesn't smell, so I've been procrastinating...

-John, Q3

I had a similar problem with my Strong chute. Strong offers a laundering service where they somehow launder the casing then inspect and repack the chute. It was rather disgusting when I sent it to them and looked/smelled brand spanking new when I got it back. I think it cost about $75 or so and took 2 weeks ship to receive. I was incredibly impressed with their service! I don't know if they'll do a Softy but it may be worth a call to Strong.
