Biggest Canopy for an M2 Mirage G4

[sleeper_gst 0]

I am buying a Mirage G4 (size M2) with a 150' Spectre2 in it but I only have 7 jumps and want to get the largest canopy that would safely fit inside of it so that I don't have to wait forever getting used to downsizing.. I am 5'8" and weigh 165.

Thanks!! (and yes, the Spectre2 is for trade/sale.. 300 jumps on it- perfect condition)

Why are you letting the container drive what size canopy you're going to buy? Why don't you decide what size main (and reserve) you want, then find a container that will fit those canopies?

According to the size chart, that container will take (at largest) a 150 reserve (since 160 Optimums aren't available yet). If a 150 main is too small for you (and you seem to realize that since you're planning to sell the Spectre) so is a 150 reserve.

I own a Mirage G4 M2 I have a pdr 143 and I have had a pilot and stiletto 150. It says on the sizing chart that a 150 is optimal but i think it is quiet loose when closing. I bet a 170 would go into mine no problem.

I had a Samurai 150 (airlocked) in a M2, and it was tight but fine. Prior to that, the container held a NEW sabre 170, but it was a bitch getting it in. I do jump in a very dry climate, which increases pack volume. so there is my two cents worth.
