Smart reserve question

[dropzonefool 0]

HI all, I am thinking about retiring my tempo 170, it has a couple of deployments on it and a number of repacks, maufacture date is '93.

I currently jump a wings W-10. Which states that a PDR 160 or a Tempo 170 will fit tight. Of course I want the biggest reserve I can fit in it. So do any of you guys know weather a Smart 160 or a 170 will be the size for my contianer? I have an email into wings about this but I do not expect a reply till monday, Areodyne has a 40% off X-mas gear sale and I want to place my order quickly, any info would be greatly appricated. blue ones, simmy

The smart has a bit more reinforcement that the Tempo. It packs up larger. I don't have the specs here now, but could get them in the AM. The smart is sized closer to a PD.

I'm willing to bet you'll be under a Smart 160.

I just had the same conversation with Sun Path this week. They just finished the Smart/Javelin Odyssey compatibility chart. The info I got from Mike that will help here is that the Smart packs up a little smaller than a PD Reserve, but not a whole size smaller. I agree with GG that you will likely need a Smart 160.

But don't just take our word for it; your best bet is to call Sunrise Rigging and discuss it with them:

I would personally recommend you go for the Smart 160. The next size up is a 175 and not really comparable with the Tempo 170.

The best answer will obviously come from Sunrise but I think they'll probably give you the 160.

Hi Jacob,

If Henry, Anki, Colon or any of the crew over at Wings don't know for sure. I'd be happy to send a Smart (or a bunch of them) over to their shop (only 40 miles away) to size it appropriately.

I unfortunately cannot answer your question regarding which one will fit best in your Wings container, as I feel that question is best fielded by one of the helpful staff over at Wings.

Kind regards and blue skies

An honest answer from a canopy manufacturer!
Will wonders never cease?
Yeah!

Like Bushman said, only trust compatibility numbers published by container manufacturers.
