storm 135/spectre 135 and rsk1

[odeseni 0]

Hey guys,

i would like to hear from people what they think. I would like to try to squezze a storm 135 into a rsk1 Javellin O. Has anybody tried it? I would demo and try for myself, but cannot get a storm 135 to demo in Europe. On PD site it says that a spectre/storm 135 is half a size bigger than say a sabre/katana 120, which I should get into a rsk1 nicely.

I use to pack a Comp Cobalt 120 which is a tad bigger than say a stilleto into the same container with no problems , but it's true that the old material from Atair was a beauty to pack.

What are your opinions? I would love to hear from somebody that actually has that setup or tried to pack it. I will also ask sunpath the same question, but would like to hear other opinions also.

Thanks for the help

I have an RSK1 with an Optimum126. Packing a microlined Spectre120 is ok, and it fits firm. a dacron lined Spectre 120 is really right.

That's weird, i would think you can pack a spectre 120 with dacron lines with little effort into an rsk1. Do you usually pack yourself or tipically go with packers? I'm not trying to imply your a bad packer, but like said i would think a spectre 120 goes in with ease and could probbalbly squezze a 135in it. Well, i guess i was wrong. Thanks for the reply.

I never use packers, and I believe myself to be pretty proficient at packing. I am giving you factual information based on two seasons of packing that particular rig.

Thanks.

I appreciate it.
Do you think a somewhat older( few hundred jumps) canopy(135) with microline lineset would fit?

both the Spectres I packed in there had over 800 jumps

Thanks again. I actually found a friend who has a spectre 135 so i can try it for myself next week . But again, thanks for the replys. Highly appreciated.

Best regards
