About sizing

Hello there!
Does anybody knows if I can put a 150 nine cell sqft main canopy (360 pack volume) to a Javelin TJN????
I have read in their site "up to 139"....
Thanks

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.

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.

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.

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

Pack volume measurements vary depending on the humidity where the test is done and who does the test.

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.

Yes I know that.
The problem is that I don't have the container yet....
