Icarus change in WL recommendations?

Recommended Posts

Just got the new Para Gear catalog in the mail and read that Icarus Safire 2 is recommended .75 to 1.4 and Crossfire 2 is 1.4 to 2.0.
If memory serves, I think the Crossfire range is the same as before, but wasn't the Safire recommended up to 1.6 previously?

Zit:" ... Crossfire2, the ULTIMATE high performance 9 cell

When we released the ICARUS Crossfire, we revolutionized what was possible with a 9 cell non-cross braced canopy. Its swoop capability almost rivaled cross-braced canopies while maintaining a long recovery arc and unparalleled openings.

As with all our canopies the Crossfire 2 is available in any size you choose.
We recommend wing loadings from 1.4 psf to 2.1 psf. ... "
