I've packed the PD Optimum 193 and the Aerodyne Smart LPV 190 into I-44's with good results. Both of those are low pack volume, lighter weight canopies.

I've also packed plenty of 170-ish F-111 reserves into that container. The smallest receive I have packed into an I-44 with good results is a PR 160.

Which of these is the lightest in weight???

Thanks i found the weights of the pd 160 at the bottom like ya said....any clue how to find the weight for the optimum?

are the weight of canopies online some where? searches just pull up wing loading details
.....
when downsizing a 9 cell main, when u go down 20 sq ft, how much does that shortening of lines and lessening of material etc affect the weight?

is the weight of the pd 160 going to be less than the weight of the 190 and 193 lightweight, low pack volume canopies?

i have a 170 in it now, forget model, old reserve from 90s, definitely want to go smaller, the 160 pd seems like a good option

I have an infinity I-44 and i wish i had gone smaller when i ordered the container last year but i am wondering what the smallest, lightest weight reserve i can safely put in that reserve packing tray.....i say smallest and lightest but i mean lightest really.....just when i say lightest people start thinking about a large reserve that is light weight and so packs down to fit this tray, the most material for the least weight is not my goal, literally what reserve of the smallest and lightest size that would fit this reserve, so that the end weight is the lowest......hope I'm not confusing you and myself, ha
