| Packed Size vs. Volume: | |||||||||
 | The volume is measured by water displacement, and represents the smallest recommended packed volume, or the volume of the smallest recommended container to be used for the reserve. The specified volume is therefore far lower than the calculated volume that would be derived from the specified measurements. The Packed Size measurement represents the measurements of the factory packed, but not compressed reserve, ie. the max dimension for each axis, and in its specified deployment bag, as shipped from apco. |
||||||||
| * Weight Excludes weight of optional long bridle for Hang-glider version: Add 190gr for Hanggliding (HG) Extension Bridle (Code: 43006), or Add 550gr for MD Bi HG Bridle (Code: 43002L) |
|||||||||
| ** Sink Rate as measured by Air Turquoise test laboratory Stability rating by Air Turquoise (1 bad - 5 excellent) |
|||||||||
| *** Gram per [Kg] Load This is a unit that makes it easy to compare Reserves. The unit is calculated by dividing the weight of the reserve, by its max load rating. The lower the number, the lighter the reserve is for its carrying capacity. |
