Mirage M6

[Crazywhit3 0]

I have a 2007 Mirage M6 that I love, currently with a Sabre 1 190 in it. I am about ready to down size, and I wondering if I can put a Sabre 2 170 in it. Even though mirage suggest the smallest canopy size be a 190, the 190 is a pretty snug fit.

Seriously ?

an IDENTICAL thread is just a few lines down from yours.

I suggest you see if somebody around your dropzone has one you can try before you buy. I'm not looking at one now, so correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Mirage have a short closing loop on the flap? If you can't shorten the closing loop enough to keep the pin tight, you've got a problem waiting to happen.

You don't have to outrun the bear.

to add another datapoint - I just packed a 2001 Mirage G3 M6 with a PDR176. The main is a 200 jump Triathlon 190 and it fits well, but not too loose. I feel that a ZP 170 will work well.

My Lotus 170 is about 5-10% larger than a Sabre 2 of the similar size and it fits perfect. A Sabre 2 may be a little soft. You can always have your rigger fill out your dbag if it's too soft.
