Will Triathlon 190 Hybrid with Dacron lines fit into Icon I6?

Recommended Posts

Does anybody use Triathlon 190 with Dacron lines in Icon I6? Is it only hard to pack the main inside or it is impossible?
I want to buy an Aerodyne system with Smart 175 where I will be able to put an Pilot 168 later.
The container suggested by the manufacturer is I7. They say, I6 is OK for Triathlon 190 but with Spectra lines only.
Buying I7 now I will not be able to use Pilot 168 later...
Please help

To help clarify, you're talking about the CRW Hybrid Triathlon, correct? A lot of the things that would make for a larger pack volum are missing from one Tri-Hybrid to the next; Dacron lines, Pilot Chute retraction cloth on topskin, non-cascaded lines. You might be closer to the smaller pack volume than you think.

I have an I6 with and tri hybrid 175. A 190 will fit very tight in an I6.
Here is the size chart for the container sizes.

There is a bar across the top for main sizes the I6 has 168 -190 main.
edited to add that I think the chart assumes that there are micro lines on the canopy.

Yes, the question is about Triathlon Hybrid 190 with dacron lines.. The Triathlon volume is 420 cu.in and producer says that it can grow 10-20% for Hybrid version. 10% is OK, because I'm still inside the I6 volume range (416-465), especially taking smaller reserve (175). But with 20% volume growth can be worse...
