packing volumes

[timve 0]

Can I find anywhere lists of different packing volumes (types, models,sq/ft, manifacturers, container compatibility and so on ?)

I will make it easier to surf down some used gear sites and forums... to find something that's fit before I try to pack it into the rig.

thx grtzzz tim

Hi,
Look for a para-gear catalog and I think the PIA web site. They have a list of packing volumes for several canopies.
Cheers,

WARNING! Assessing canopy volumes is not a precise art..... but this should give you a good guideline

Only believe volumes published by container manufacturers.

Pack volume is like a Sea Monkey.

IT IS NOT REAL.

What IS real is what the container manufacturer says will fit in each of their rigs.
