melonchological 0 #1 September 1, 2015 Heya Peeps, Standard shit how big can I go question. Mirage MT with PDR 126 reserve and Cypres. Looking at a Pilot ZPX 140 so at the 15% less pack volume would make it a Standard Pilot 119 at 20% this would obviously make it even smaller. Mirage responded to my question abruptly and without any extension... "We do not recommend" in a predictable manner. So what do you MT users out there have in yours? Cheers Matt.

stayhigh 2 #3 September 1, 2015 PDR 126 with a Cypress will be a very tight fit, if you pack them in a dry location, SoCal, AZ... Would recommend PDR 113 or Smart 120, OP 126. My MT had Smart 120 without Cypress, and reserve closed perfectly, Pete Swan once told me that my MT was one of the few that looked great, and that is because I went a 1/2 size smaller than what they recommend for max sized reserve. However, I have seen OP 143 with Cypress in a MT, which looked like shit. as far as main goes; I've put Ka 120(tight fit), Velo 96(perfect fit), Vx 84(little loose/easy closing).... All of this in a very dry condition. If you live in a humid sea level area like Florida, then you'll be able to follow their sizing guide. Good luck.Bernie Sanders for President 2016 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melonchological 0 #4 September 1, 2015 I want to hear someone has put there Pilot ZPX 140 in and it worked comfortably. Mirage or anyone for that matter don't care to list them on their canopy/container compatibility chart. Thanks for your comments though, I thought the first line of my post may have alerted the average troll that I was aware the most ideal situation would be to buy something where everything fits and is designed for each other. Although going off Aerodynes claimed pack volume it should :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melonchological 0 #5 September 1, 2015 Thanks bro, I did also question the OP126 route. I think that should definitely help the situation. Also the other option would be a Triathlon 135 ZPX which should be a much better drop down in volume. Aerodynes claims at worst make the 135 a 114 in normal volume and coupled with the triathlon being a 7 cell should fit comfortably. Mirage list a 120 Triathlon as Soft... So again going off the claims of manufacturers a Triathlon 150 ZPX should theoretically fit optimally/tight... 15% being a 127sqft. Thanks for your help bud.
