rendezvous 0 #1 July 18, 2001 Has anyone tried packing a Sabre 170 or a Sabre 190 in a Talon T5. How well do they fit, specially the 190.If the 190 is a tight fit how safe is it to fit it in and how uncomfortable is it to do so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #2 July 18, 2001 According to Rigging Innovations, the manufacturer of the Talon, a T5 will hold up to a Sabre 170. If you are a very good packer you might be able to stuff a Sabre 190 in it... but I wouldn't recommend that if you are a novice jumper/packer. You're gonna hate packing zp at first anyway, why make your life even more difficult by having to stuff it into a container that wasn't meant to hold it?pull and flare,lisa----I am a nobody.

How well do they fit, specially the 190.If the 190 is a tight fit how safe is it to fit it in and how uncomfortable is it to do so. I have packed a Sabre 170 in a T5 - very tight fit.. I would imagine I'd be able to get a 190 in a T5 with lots of pushing, pulling, and swearing.. According to Sandy Reid, the T5 is designed for a 150ZP main and 160 reserve.. In my T5, I have had a Hornet 190, Sabre 170, Sabre 150, Stilleto 150, and Extreme VX99.. (no, I wasn't jumping the VX - a friend borrowed my rig and put his main in it).. As for the reserve, in T5's I have seen up to a 176 in a PD reserve, and up to a 210 in the Tempo.. I have the 210 in my rig..Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 558 #4 July 20, 2001 Talon T5s were originally designed for Sabre 150s. I packed both Sabre 150s and Sabre 170s into my Talon T5. The Sabre 170 was a snug fit.Packing a Sabre 190 into a T5 is going to be a struggle. Why anyone would want to work that hard is a mystery to me!Rob WarnerRigging Innovations Customer Service Manager Emeritus Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
