BenW 0 #1 October 9, 2001 Hello everybodypeeps!A question for those of you who have a heatwave or have jumped and packed one.I am waiting for delivery of a new heatwave and am interested to hear how you pack yours. What works what doesn't etc.I had a Sabre before this which I pro-packed by pushing the nose into the pack job, rolling the hell out of the tail and pulling the slider out over the nose. This gave pretty slow, nice openings.What's the opinion on packing a Heatwave?TaB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
3fLiEr 0 #2 October 9, 2001 I packed for a camera man who had a heatwave and I rolled the nose pushed into the pack job - pulled slider over the nose and rolled the tail as normal - this gave him the soft openings he so wished and desired!...............BSBD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #3 October 10, 2001 Well, take this with a grain of salt as the first jump on my new custom Heatwave resulted in a violently spinning mal but I think it was because I left the last stow too close to the riser (I felt the bag bump something when it came off my back).Since then, I have done two fully flaked PRO packs and then went back to my standard psycho-pack for the the last five.All I do is quarter the slider and pull it over the nose just a bit. As for the nose, I take the four left cells and gently fold them back, same with the right. I leave the center cell exposed just a bit to make sure it gets air first. Then roll the tail.All the openings have been on-heading and soft 600-footers.Kris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygeek 0 #4 October 17, 2001 I have had the pleasure of Jumping my Dads heatwave 150. I found the best way to pack it for me any way is to Fold in the three outside cells on both sides and push in the three center cells so they cant be seen between the folded ones. Making sure the slider is nice and big out front. Perfect every time so far! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
