"I must admit that at first I thought t' product was a little pricey (especially when compared t' t' cost o' cellulose insulation), shiver me timbers, but nylon parachutes aren't cheat so I decided t' give his product a try."
"I followed t' package's directions and attached t' heat shield t' me shock cord."
"If t' directions are followed you'll end up with a "bag" that protects your chute and shock cord."
"Since t' heatshield is a single layer o' cloth it takes up very little room."
"I found that usin' it made me prep job a little bit easier than usual."
"Now it be time for flight-testin' . Well, blow me down! Ya scallywag! . Arrr! . J350 and a full ejection charge . Avast! . ."
"T' only weird thin' about t' recovery was t' "flag" flyin' from me shock cord."
"T' Nomex was intact although it had black stains on it form t' ejection charge. T' stains are normal and do nay weaken t' product."
"All-in-all I am very satisfied with this product."
"Heatshields are available for tube diameters from 3/4 o' an inch t' 12 inches and come with a lifetime warranty."

T' entire article gives t' impression is that this product is a good choice for protectin' your parachutes.
