Atom Legend with PD Spectre 170

[vbdl 0]

Anyone tried to fit a Spectre 170 into a Atom Legend 00 (with a tecno 115 reserve and cypres). Thanks.

is the difference in sizes main/reserve intentional ??? 170 / 115

Yes, because I want to buy the harness with the reserve and the cypress of my friend. But rerading the main canopy, I need at least a 170 sq.ft.

sorry if I'm feedin a troll, but... if you NEED a 170 main and have a 115 reserve, I hope you never have to cutaway...

BAD BAD IDEA
just my novice advice

Have fun, stay safe

No! I used to have an Atom 0 with a Spectre 150 in it and that was quite snug enough. A 170 in an 00 is asking alot and even if you shoehorn it in there you're surely risking deforming the container or a whole load of other potential problems. Bottom line is that an 00 is not designed to hold a 170.

I think you will need an 0 as well. My Electra 170 packs a lot smaller than the Spectre 170 (386 cu inches vs 455), and my Atom 0 still isn't exactly flush when its packed.

For further reference, the My-SkyWorld online shop has canopy and container sizing charts. It shows that that the Spectre 170 has a pack volume of 455 cubic inches, but the Atom 00 can only take up to 360.

Going on Gus' comment, these do seem pretty accurate - the Spectre 150 (370 cu in) sounds like a similar fit in an 0 as my Electra.

The 00 is made for a 115/128 reserve (why not get the 128?) and a ~135 - 120 ZP main.
See http://www.parachutes-de-france.com/us/parachutes/catalogue/cont_intro.htm.
A hybrid 170 is a tight fit (Electra, Merit).
I had a new Spectre 150 in my 00 for a while, couldn't pack it myself (at least within say 2 hours ). Now I have a Spectre/Tri 135 in there, much better.

You sound like a new jumper who's seen a barging in the classifieds and wants to know if it'll work.

Please talk to instructors about the necessity for having a reserve that will not kill you - ie one of a similar size to your main. Go and chat to someone about the sort of requirements you will have in a new rig - then you can go looking into classifieds.

If you "need" a 170 main then you "need" a 170 reserve.

Well, it's all been said...

I put the Sabre2 170 in a Atom 0 without too much hassle. But this is definitely at the limit, stretching things a bit (literally) ;) Actually, I don't have to pull very hard to close the container, but you can see it's more than it's designed for.
Spectre has smaller packing volume, but to put it in a 00?? I doubt you'll get it in in the first place. And if you get it in, you want to demonstrate your impeccable packing skills (you'll need those...) for the next few hundred jumps??
