Cobalt pack volume

I am having a new rig built (who hoo!) and am putting a new Cobalt 120 in it. Anyone happen to know the pack volume of it? Thanks.

A quick search of this fourm will turn up lots of info or Give Atair a call.

A Cobalt has pretty nearly the same volume of a Stilleto of the same size. All rig manufacturers are familiar with sizing for Stilettos, so just get your rig made for a Stiletto 120, and you shouldn't have a problem.

I would tell the rig manufacturer/dealer that your getting a Cobalt 120 (as opposed to saying its like a stiletto 120). If they make a mistake on the sizing, then its their problem....

Thanks all, for your info, the manufacturer said the Cobalt packs up a little bigger than the Stiletto.

actually the cobalt 120 and stilletto 120 pack volumes are identical.
i jump a javelin rs (their current smallest) built for sub 100's, and believe it or not i can pack a c120 in it.
(don't ask me to do it all day, its a real pain)....
the gelvenor fabric we use is not thicker, this is a misconception that arose because of a bad batch of fabric aerodyne bought from gelvenore about 7 years back. unfortunately it made it through aerodynes
quality control and i believe about 70 bad canopies were released. since then btw gelvenore has built a completely new highest state of the art manufacturing line. their fabric is considered the best in the world now.
cobalts do have a full cell construction. the top skin as made from 18 panels instead of 9 (like paragliders). we have no i-beam seams on the top skin. it is allot more work but allows us to create a tensioned pattern in the top skin (patent pend) which reduces airfoil distortion. the added seams are said to add pack volume, they do,
but it is very slight and unnoticable.
