2016 Parachute Systems Vortex II main canopy sizing chart?

[LobiWanKenobi 0]

Hello all. I'm hoping that somebody can help me find the main canopy packing volume accommodations of the 2016 Vortex II container as I'm looking all over the internet and can't find a thing. I'm considering purchasing one but need to see if it can fit my main canopy first. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I can only offer this ancient chart, from 2007, from a Vortex dealer back then. (Ranch Pro Shop in NY)
It isn't really helpful that the main canopies listed are only out of date canopies from Parachute Systems like the ZP.exe or Hurricane.
Something newer must exist...

Here you go! Just a note, you cannot get replacement parts for the Vortex Container (Freebag and PC, Cutaway or Reserve Handle) as their TSO was tied up in the move from overseas to USA during Covid Times.

Nice! Thank you all very much.

Man this is crazy, you may have just saved me from a world of hurt. So they're just totally out of business it looks like, wow.

Spare parts availability for Parachute Systems?

Someone said spare parts are available from a "ParaCo" in I guess South Africa. This is an image posted recently on one of the facebook rigging sites:

As a Parachute Systems dealer who worked with the owners personally, this is the first I have heard of that company. From a quick look, they are probably just building non-TSO’ed parts and mains, reason why they are not making the Decelerator. Great for places that a TSO does not matter, doesn’t work for former customers who reside in the USA.

ParaCo's website is here.  They don't claim to make TSO'd parts, though.  Their facebook post from 6 weeks ago says they do not yet make freebags or [reserve?] pilot chutes.
