Don't know if you're still interested but I had the same issue. The values on the NZ aerosports website are correct (for my canopies). I have my second JFX, the first one was a 99, now an 89. They do pack significantly smaller than other crossbrace canopies and indeed even about a size smaller than the crossfire. I'm not sure why this is the case though. My 89 fits into a V303 easily, even the 99 fit into it. Then again, it also depends on how you pack. I had some discussion about this with UPT as well, they insisted that it would not fit in...

Hiya, I'm in exactly the same situation, looking for a successor for my Crossfire. I had the chance to demo a Neos 99 for a week but stopped early. Of 7 jumps, 2 openings were ok, the other 5 were incredibly hard. On the last jump, I heard my neck crack and couldn't move my head without pain for the following 2 days. But I have also heard of people with softer openings, so I guess it all depends. From my point of view, I can certainly not recommend the Neos. Actually a pity because I'm an Icarus fan and liked the flights a lot. From the few jumps I did, I'd say a mix between a Katana and a Velo. I haven't jumped a JFX yet. I'm looking for a demo but it seems like they will be very rare in Europe for a while. Daedalus will post the dates and locations on their website.

I uploaded the jump in HD: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiGdqPfztsc Blue skies N. PS: A 109 doesn't really glide very good at 7.500 ft. Slider collapsed and with an open cheststrap it might have worked...
