So what is the general consensus. Javelin does not recommend putting any smaller then a 170 main into a j4k. But people have done it. Anyone see any safety issues with jumping a 150 in a j4k? it will be the last time i bother you folks on the subject hopefully!! There is a difference between living and being alive.

what about the j4k? have any experience with that container about taking a 150 main or smaller safely? even though sunpath does not recommend it There is a difference between living and being alive.

I talked to Javelin and they do not have a container they produce that can still take a pd176r but take a 150 or below There is a difference between living and being alive.

thanks guys!!! so awesome to have the input!! cant really fork out the dough for a new rig though... so just been looking around at used. kinda thinking about a j4k that is for sale it has a pd176r in it and a 170 main. But im wondering if anyone has had a 150 in a j4k container? the owner's rigger mentioned "it could take a 150 easy" Though that does go against what sunpath recommend. I'm kinda torn :( There is a difference between living and being alive.

Thanks for the help folks! So I guess another question is are there any options out there for other rigs that have the option currently to have a 176 reserve but get down as low as a 150 main? Thanks! There is a difference between living and being alive.

I guess thats my question. The recomendations by sunpath about max and min main and res. sizes in containers. I guess I wonder how hard and fast they are. Have people squeezed a 176 into a j3k when it says on the website that a 160 reserve would be the biggest it would take. http://www.sunpath.com/sizchart.htm There is a difference between living and being alive.

Hello, Sorry to bother you all. This is my first post in the dz.com forum. Been using this site since 1997 though. Was told I might be able to pose a question to you all. In the hopes someone has any input/experience with the items in question. I am looking for a Rig and have some options for exactly what im looking for. Except for one fact. I want to stay around the 170, pdr176 reserve but have the option to go down to a 150 main maybe even slightly smaller. I have options for getting a J4K but sunpath does not condone any smaller then a 170 main in it. There is also an option for a J3K but that would mean going to a 160 reserve. I am 200lbs and would really prefer a 170ish min reserve. The time I have been in the sport I have never been big into swooping and the like. I get all my kicks in the air. The person that owns the j4k container for sale, his rigger mentioned to him you could easily put a 150 in it. This will be my last rig and will have all bells and whistles freefly options, wingsuit laterial cut ins for flat main pouch deployment and the like. I would be happy with a rig that would give me the option to hold a pd176r and yet still safely hold a 150 main. Sorry again to bother the masses :( There is a difference between living and being alive.
