riddler 0 #26 February 22, 2003 Thanks for looking up the specs, Erno. That pretty much settles the issue, I think. But I have to wonder if it's different for my setup? You almost need information by year - my tri is a 1994, and one master rigger told me that they "changed" the design somewhere in the early 90s, so it's conceivable that the pack volume for the main and maybe also the container (1988) are different than what paragear may list for the new stuff. I think you guys are right - I should call manufacturers to find out. In answer to some of the responses: Quote If I'm not mistaken, the bulges on the sides are actually from the rapide links. Definitely not the rapides - it's definitely the bag - I can take it apart and see it. The rapides lie straight and further down the sides. Quote Is the D-bag the same one that came with the container or is it by AR or another manufacturer? One of the difficulties with older gear that had a few owners. I wouldn't know unless I checked manufacturer's specs. Quote Not a good match-up to the container. Can you get a refund on either? All purchased second-hand. Refund is not a big deal to me - I got a good price on this setup from a fellow dz.commer and it's treated me well so far. Quote if you get a larger bag If anything, I think the bag is already too large for the main. Thanks for the responses all - I think you guys are right - it stems from a container/bag/main mis-match. And it doesn't help that I can't pack! But to return to the original question - could this result in a problem with deployment? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gravitymaster 0 #28 February 22, 2003 My concern with this set-up is a potential problem with how tight the container is when you close it. Is it so loose the main pin could slip out? When you close the container and insert the pin, try pushing on the flaps to see if this is possible. I would strongly urge you to have a competent rigger look at this and advise you before you jump it again. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
