PD say the Pulse 170 packs about the same size as the Spectre 150 (see http://www.performancedesigns.com/pack-volume-chart/).

You might also consider a Pilot 168 ZPX.



I also recommend a Pilot 168 ZPX, however if you demo keep in mind they do fly very differently. A pilot is a lot flatter and the flare is quite different. If a Pilot's brake lines are too long, you'll miss out on a good amount of flare, so you'll want to try some test flares up high and you might have to take a wrap or two.

Or, just shorten the lowest portion of break lines by 10 cm (4 in).
