Hello all. I'm hoping that somebody can help me find the main canopy packing volume accommodations of the 2016 Vortex II container as I'm looking all over the internet and can't find a thing. I'm considering purchasing one but need to see if it can fit my main canopy first. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! -
This is my first time buying a rig. Found a used Mirage G4.1 M3 container in pretty good state, and was looking to use it with a Sabre 2 150ft main, DOM 2016 with around 650 jumps in the canopy (new lines though). In Mirage's website sizing chart, they mention a Sabre 2 150 as a 'firm' fit and I'm a little confused with what exactly that means in practical terms. Should I not use such combination as it could be too tight? I saw quite a few people say they managed to fit a Sabre 170 in a MIrage G4 M3, including the current owner of such container, so I should be fine?? Maybe Mirage is a little conservative in their sizing chart (?) The plan is to also get a 150ft reserve, not sure of which one yet, so kinda worried about that as well. Anyone has experience with such combination or similar? Any help would be appreciated as I'm a newbie in container info Blue skies!

Hey everyone, My new Vector finally arrived. I tried it on empty and it seems to fit great - which is what concerns me. In the 13 months between ordering and it arriving I have put on weight. My waist, measured around my belly button, is a smidge less than 35 inches. My new container was measured for 34 inches. I am having a hard time finding information on whether this will be a problem. Mirage states that anything greater than half an inch is a problem. But that’s Mirage. My current rig was designed for someone with a 35 inch waist, and it feels snug but not tight. I can live with a slightly too tight rig. I’d really hate to send my new rig back. UPS already lost my rig while delivering it to me. What do you all think? There’s a lot of content about laterals that are too big, but not much out there about laterals that are potentially too small. i have to wait 2 weeks for my rigger to pack and assemble everything so I am just worrying a lot in the meantime.

I''d like to know which harness measurements are most important & which you can "ballpark" match to your measured body specs. I can't find a used container for sale that's harness directly matches all my body measurements, so can someone tell me which of these are most important on this weighted list (i.e. height, inseam, chest, waist, thigh, & torso).? - I took all these measurements based off the Vector Measuring Guide: https://www.parachuteshop.com/Vector_measuring_guide.htm Cheers
