Estes 2265 15-Inch Parachute, Rocket Model Recovery Parachute, Rocket Model Kit Accessories for Ages 10+

This is the same parachute that comes with the Estes kits so you are going with OEM replacement when you need to replace your chute due to charring or heat damage. You can’t go wrong by going with the original for replacement. Just make sure you go with the same size/color chute you have. The color refers to the size; same color, same size. Great that they are pre strung, the earlier chutes were not. Remember, use plenary of wadding for long life.

Didnt Get To Try It Yet, But Great Price!

I bought this because one of my parachutes on the Estes Rocket I built melted a bit on one of my launches - that's what happens when you skimp on the wadding!! :-) In the end, this product is as advertised and what I expected it to be, and does what it is supposed to!! I have seen some knock stars of these Estes parachutes here on Amazon because they are plastic and not nylon - first off, if they were Nylon, they would not be $1.99, second these parachutes are not advertised as nylon, so there should be no disappointment. Sure, nylon parachutes are better, but I am putting these in a $10-$20 Estes rocket, and this parachute does the job and is the right price. I might use nylon if the rocket was more $$$. Would buy again.

Perfect for my model rocket. It is a 300 gram rocket and it lands pretty smoothly. Probably the bare minimum in size that I would buy for the weight of my rocket. Survived 3 launches so far, and many more to come.

I build small rockets with my grandchildren and these are colorful parachutes that they love to watch fall to earth.

when a 12" is not enough to prevent a hard landing and a 18" is too much for the size of field.

What more can I say, I got what I expected. They don’t last long but for the price it’s great.

It's plastic. For $8 I was expecting more.

15 inch plastic parachute, works like you'd expect, delivery was fairly decent took less than a week and came earlier the the estimated arrival time! Only problem with this product is that when you really start to think about it, it's over priced and really only a small plastic sheet with strings.
