Low volume 190s fit in Mirage M4 size?

Recommended Posts

I have studied the Mirage charts and there does not seem to be any specific information about low volume type main canopies.

Specifically I am wondering if a 190 Pilot ZPX and a low volume 190 size reserve would fit okay in the M4 size container. Does anyone out there have personal experience that would help answer this question?

I currently have (purchased used) a G3, M5 with a Tempo 210 (fairly tight) and a 210 Pilot ZPX (not all that tight) and the Mirage charts would suggest a M6 for 210 size. The charts say they are guidelines and not absolutes. So experience might be very helpful.

Any help would be appreciated.

i have been jumping a G4 M4 for a few years and have no issues packing my Sabre 170 into it. I imagine a 190 ZPX would be about the same.
As far as reserve, I have a PD 160 Reserve. You might have issues squeezing a low volume 190 in to a G4. Best consult your rigger before making any purchases. Might be better to get a Optimum 176
Good luck!
