    All I can think of off the top of my head that isn't on that list is a Smart LPV 175, which has the same pack volume as the Smart 160.

    Edit to add - you can most likely even go up to a Smart LPV 190, but I don't have experience trying it so I would check with UPT directly before spending money.



    That's cool, I have a smart 190, and my Rigger said it's "doable," but I also kinda wanted to be able to sell it with my current container.

  4. LoL I guess I wasn't completely clear, I've been there, I just didn't know if there would be anything else not listed on the sizing chart that's more comparable to the ones I listed without going down to a 168/160 or lower.

    Thanks.

    Blues!

    We should resurrect the OG DZ.commer's Bonfire!


    The Wednesday evening Pub sessions. What happened in the Pub, stays on dz.com forever!



    Ha! I remember the pub... Them OG feels.

    This is a photo Of Mike Palmer (Slugo) and Bob Langston (Mr Bill) taken by Mike Sisemore back in the early 80's. Forgot to mention it was in Tahlequah Oklahoma.



    Love it! Haven't seen this picture in years. Palmer's the man, and the man that taught me to skydive.

    No maybe it means the other instructors are busy doing tandems and AFF, and they don't have any to spare for the guy that decided to take up golf for the past "few" years. ;);)



    We just had this guy at the DZ last weekend.https://youtu.be/W--dC5kuQ8Q?t=30

    No log book, no jumps since a surgery in August... So he went on a 1/1 with radio.

    We did not let him live it down. :ph34r:



    And Merrick: Get on with it! :P

    That was basically what they told me, everyone else is booked for other things that day... and I don't play golf, ever. :D

    LOL We will Remi, just have to wait a little longer.

  13. When you have your first re-currency class and jump scheduled for Sunday and the DZ calls to tell you their ground school instructor can't make it. :S[:/]

    One idea might be to list it as stolen and see if it pops up.

    JUST KIDDING :o:D



    HA! That would be hilarious.

    Sounds like since I don't have the contact info of the guy I sold it to I may be SOL.

    Thanks for the help guys.

    All the Best,

  19. Just curious if anyone knows an effective way to track down some old gear? My dear wife would likely tell me I'm an idiot, but I'd love to find her old rig as a surprise for when we start jumping again. I don't have access to the email address I used when we originally sold it. Thanks for the help.

    And, a big what's up to all the old timers here, you know who you are.

    All the Best,

  22. Too long my friend... way too long. Since before our youngest was born & she's 5 now. LOL

    Yeah I sneak in here every now and then, definitely a lot of new faces.

    Hope you're doing well man.

    It seems like just yesterday when her and Ty were just rambunctious DZ kids when we all used to jump together back in Oklahoma!



    It seems like just yesterday to us too man! When she was 9 she used to fly in John's bi-plane all day whenever he would bring it out, she's been looking forward to this for 7 years! lol
