raceface 0 #2 July 14, 2014 i have experience with Talon T3 which has the same size main's tray: Talon 2___reserve___main T0...........250..........275 T1...........275..........300 T2...........375..........375 T3...........335..........375 T4...........375..........420 T5...........415..........475 T6...........475..........550 T7...........550..........650 T8...........600..........700 i had Hornet 150 in it, it was really tight (hard even for experienced packers) and Hornets are made of Gelvenor which packs smaller and much easier than other fabrics. i would say Sabre1 will pack significantly bigger, if it is older canopy with worn-out fabric, it might be possible to squeeze it in but you will hate to pack it.

justme12001 0 #3 July 14, 2014 I'll agree that the galvinor packs easier than most other ZP material, but I have always felt that it packed bigger than the slick ZP. I could be wrong, definitely wouldn't be the first time Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pack volume varied widely with Gelvenor fabric. The wide variations in Triathlon volume caused us no end of grief when we were "sizing" the Talon 2 series.

riggerrob 558 #6 July 14, 2014 Did anyone read the Talon 2 manual? I wrote it 17 years ago. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 1,903 #7 July 14, 2014 Sorry Rob. I jump one, but I only read the 2001 revision 1.0, not the 17 year old original!Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
