grega 0 #1 October 16, 2002 Would it be possible to pack a bigger reserve than recommended in mirage containers. We, for example were able to pack a reserve one size bigger in javelin and atom without much of a problem "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best to check with them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Larger reserves will NOT fit". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kris 0 #4 October 17, 2002 QuoteOn Mirage website it says that "you can safely drop one size on main and one on reserve. Larger reserves will NOT fit". Heh. I have a Mirage G3 UNISYN in an M4 size. For a reserve, it is supposed to hold a PD-160R or DM-181. I have a Tempo 210 in my reserve tray along with a Cypres. That Tempo packs significantly bigger than a PD-160R (It's closer in size to a PD-176R) and it fits in there just fine and all my flaps are flat. I wouldn't try to go more than one size higher but the tradeoff I have for having a bigger reserve is that two riggers were unable to pack it (The one I use now can pack it very easy so it seems to be more of a finesse issue) and the reserve area is very stiff so I lose a little flexibility in the container. Check with Bill at Mirage. He's a nice guy and he'll make sure you have the right info.

alexey 6 #5 October 17, 2002 If you have big container (170-170 or so) - its possible, and wont look and fit bad... But, in small sizes - I dont reccoment it. I pack 128 Techno to tray for 113 PD - it is REALY tight.... (pull test OK... ) and, I dont like rig look like that, but it was customers oddity...Lexa Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
