Semi Stowless Bag Questions

Recommended Posts

exactly as theonlyski has it. Because there is a "channel" between the bottom tuck tabs for the lines to flow through in an orderly fashion you have linestretch happening fast but in sequence with the SSDbag. Where you can induce "line dump" with the bag is by putting too little volume in the bag (too small of a canopy with tiny lines), stow the lines in wads in the line stow pocket or tie your lines in knots in the pocket. If there is not enough tension (which is partly governed by bag pack volume) on the tuck tabs I believe you could induce line dump because the stow pocket would open prematurely. If your stows are wads of crap the tabs could be forced open and cause line dump. Although, if you have your stows in such tough shape to cause that you prolly have bigger problems than line dump... I have not experienced these problems, just saying it is possible in theory.

edit to add: UPT recommends you make your figure 8 line stows in the stow pocket long enough to fill the sides of the pocket. Doing this ensures that you will "lock" the tabs in place and prevent the flap from opening.
