The EVA parachute is a paraglider-type chute deployed on all kerbals in sandbox mode or high enough level in career or science mode. In the KSPedia it says that they are parachutes with extra strings for more control over movement. When an EVA parachute is deployed it will cause the Kerbal to go in a controllable glide, using the following keys for control: S: yaw up, W:yaw down, A:pitch left, and D key:pitch right. The D key is used to deploy the chute.

The EVA Parachute (also known as Personal Parachute) is a paraglider-type chute that can be deployed on all Kerbals if they are level 3. The parachute can be opened via the part menu or by pressing the P key. When the parachute is deployed, you can control it using the W(Up), A(Left), S(Down), D(Right) keys. The chute somewhat acts like a hanglider, gliding down, picking up speed unless you use W to slow down during flight.

The deployment altitude and minimum atmospheric pressure can be changed in the same way as a normal parachute, including the ability to cut and repack your chute. As of 1.5, there are no other types of EVA parachutes, nor pre-flight influence over their settings inside the editor.
