phoenixlpr 0 #3 May 29, 2007 I have a Cobalt 135 in my TJN. Its quite tight. Its written upto 135..... I would not do that. It would be a real pain to close it every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #4 May 29, 2007 Depends. How good of a packer are you? If you aren't real good at putting a 150 in a bag sized for a 150, you won't be real happy trying to put it into a bag sized for a 135. How humid/dry is the climate where you jump? I know people in Florida (very humid) who say it's not hard to put a 150 into a TJN. I know people in southern California/Arizona (very dry) who say it ain't easy. Something else to consider - by overstuffing a container you are risking damage to the grommets and flaps. Not to mention the fact that an overstuffed container looks like crap.

saxboy 0 #5 May 30, 2007 Hi! I am jumping right now a Performance Variable Cayenne 150.I can put it in the bag very easy.(I don't know if I am a good packer.) The pack volume of my canopy is 360 cu.in I found today these informations: Paratec Faqtor 135: 357 cu.in Icarus canopies Crossfire 2 129: 364cu.in , 139: 386cu.in Aerodyne Pilot 132: 368 cu.in , 140: 379 cu.in. Now Why I can not put my canopy in the TJN? I don't understand. I am asking for informations...I am not playing the "clever guy" Thank you for your time.

snafuhere 0 #6 May 31, 2007 I have TJNK and have packed with no problem: XF2-139 Pilot-150 (this was demo canopy with aerodyne bag attached) now I have XF2-119 and it's nice and tight in my opinion javelin accepts +/- 1 size https://www.facebook.com/1skydive/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way to really determine if the 150 that you have will fit into a TJN where you are is to pack your 150 up into a TJN. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
saxboy 0 #8 May 31, 2007 Yes I know that. The problem is that I don't have the container yet.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
