Vector II 2.2 Pack Volumes

[sdctlc 0]

I have been looking and looking on-line and cant find anything refering to a Vector II. RWS only has informaton on the III and tandems. I sent a E-mail off to RWS earlier this week but have gotten no response regarding getting a Vector II manual. Does anybody have information on the sizing for a Vector II container. I am looking at getting one used as a second rig but I am thinking about swapping out the reserve that is in it so I can fit a cypress in the reserve tray. Right now it seems a bit tight. Any body wana trade a RavenII (218) for a Raven I or similar??? Either way I need to try and figure out the pack volumes for a Vector II V 2.2

Thanks

I don't know the volumes but a Raven I is the preferred canopy for V2.2.

The gear sales idiot where I used to work used to cram Raven Is into V1.2s, and it was obvious that in the long term, the reserve containers were getting spackled, with side flap stiffeners and grommetts looking like a fat guy in a little coat. When we got V2.2s, packing those was like, "ahhhhhhhhhhh"

I know the feeling after closing the Raven II in the V2.2. I would not want to put a Cypres in there as it is. Any how hopefully RWS will get back to me on getting a manual soon.

If you have a Para-Gear catalog, it has a Vector sizing chart and a canopy comparison chart. Just be sure to read all the fine print as to whether the sizing includes a Cypres or not.

I just packed a Decelerator 150 (Chute Shop of South Africa) into a Vector II V2-2. It was an easy fit and there was just enough room remaining for a Cypres.

My Vector 2-2 holds a firelite 176 and a cypres.
Looks like a perfect fit.

There are only 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I have a manual for the vector II: pack volumes for the V2-2 are 400-480 (main) and 300-390 (reserve)
