Semi Stowless – Reprise

[HALO1 0]

Didn’t want to hijack the other thread so… Anyone using a Semi-Stowless bag i.e. UPT, MPOD, etc., in a Mirage G4? Called Mirage and they won’t even custom make one for their G4 tray. Asked if they could recommend the UPT Semi-Stowless bag (or other) and they stated their tray design/shape was not consistent with Sem-Stowless bag manufactures design/shape. So, if you are using a Semi-Stowless bag in your Mirage G4, which manufacturer are you using and what are your thoughts on form & fit?

Let’s go Mirage… How about offering a Semi-Stowless bag as an option or custom order?

This seems odd, because UPT says they'll make the bag to the dimensions you specify, so it can be made to exactly match your existing bag.

I use the UPT stowless bag and had them build it to my pack tray dimensions as well as building it in the wingsuit grommet up configuration without issue. I am sure if you contacted them they could build you one to fit your Mirage container quite easily.

I have mirage mt and i use v306 stowless d bag.
Mike will ask your bag demension and he recommened v310
I told him to go to hell and i ordered v306 bag.
Fits perfect inside the container and perfect soft on heading opening ever since.
Mirage d bag demension will not make sense for vector guys due to trapazoid shape.
Go read the chart of vector d bag pack volumes and you go decide...
Mirage and vector has very closely shaped d bag. It will work.
What size is your mirage????

Lou / StayHigh... thanks for the UPT info.

ST - I have two Mirage containers... MO & MT. I'll call UPT and let them know what I'm looking for. After your comments, seems pretty straight forward.

Mo will probably go with v308
And i put jvx 94 or fx99 or katana 120 into v306 bag and i have mt and there are absolutely no problem when i close my container.
Enjoy your straight on heading opening,,, and somehow they open softer.
The guy will insist that the demension of the d bag is more important, not the canopy size, but i think that is dead wrong.
I would've been pissed if i got v310 which is made to fit 150 max.

I've seen many stowless bag design, and i like vectors the most. It actually enables you to figure 8 the lines than close the tab, not shove the figure 8 into the pocket. Also i hate magnets on some stowless bag designs. They just add weight to top of your canopy. One belgium made bag weighed like a pound or two.

I just contacted Mike about a semi-stowless bag for my tjnk.

Are there any issues I should know about for a vector to javelin retrofit? Trapezoid shape, etc?

Grommet up seems like a good idea as well since I mostly fly a death-suit.

Did you give the TJNK dbag dimensions to Mike?

I am very happy with my UPT ss dbag (J3 Javelin).

Any ideas on a UPT semi-stowless bag (or the container size) to fit in a Mirage MX (velo 103)? Thanks.

Call or email them and ask. They may have the dimensions already, if not they can get them from you and build it up.
