Sabrekakkonen 0 #1 January 8, 2018 Hi, i have 150 sabre 2 and 143 pd optimum in my wings w5. Is this overstuffing container? Is it possible it slows down reserve opening especially low speed deploment because of tight container an pc dont get enough drag to pull freebag out?

Blis 1 #3 January 9, 2018 Both the main and reserve are too big for the container atleast according to wings sizing and PIA volume charts, would not recommend and I would hate to pack it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's not as simple as people make it sound... opt-143 has 31 cubic inches greater pack volume than pr-126... It may or may not make a difference.

The marketing hype is "Buy a Low Pack volume reserve, you'll be safer with a bigger reserve for the same container size." I have found that is sometimes true, but more often not. There are also pack volume charts out there that show negligible difference for some sizes comparing the same design between standard and low pack volume canopies. This could be attributed to variation even within a same canopy and design. Either way, I never advise individuals to bet on a LPV canopy in order to squeeze in just a bit more.=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have found that is sometimes true Agree with your agreement . I've found that the PR126/OP143 level is really the last size where you can reliably say an OP "packs a size smaller." Once you get down into the smaller sizes, the low bulk fabric makes up little enough of the pack volume itself, that the one-size-smaller rule just doesn't hold true -- all that pesky suspension line and reinforcement tape take up just as much space in an OP as in a PDR. By the same token, the really big OPs pack up MORE than a size smaller than their PDR counterparts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
