149 in a TJNK jav
Can't Post
Sunpath web site says this takes up to a 135. so I guess a 149 is abit on the big side, I know its only 9sqft, but any thoughts would be helpfull. thanks
I've been known to push too much canopy into a slightly too-small rig. Aside form issues with packing, I've ruined a rig because of that (split seams and damaged fabric on main container and bag) and my current rig doesn't stay closed very well (riser covers).
Also the reserve in a TJNK is going to be smaller, and if this is for a newer jumper, packing isn't going to be fun.
So, all in all, I wouldn't advise it, even if it is possible.
I have put a well used Spectre150 and a Silhouette150 into a TJNK, so I suppose a hybrd or a used 7 cell should work. A nice new 150 ZP 9 cell will probably make you quit skydiving :(

Remember that pack volumes often depend on humidity levels. What kind of fits in the humidity of Florida may not safely fit in the dry heat of Eloy or Perris.
