APPENDIX C: TIPS ON ORDERING YOUR NEW VECTOR 3
✪
Provide as much information about your canopies as you know. For example, date of
manufacture (or state that it is a new canopy), the type of suspension line, etc. This will
assist the Relative Workshop in identifying the container that is most ideal for you.
✪
Whenever possible, size the container to fit the mid-range of the stated pack volume.
✪
Consider that a canopy with a pack volume at the low-end of the scale will pack easier and
will be more comfortable than a canopy that is at the high-end of the scale.
✪
If you jump in regions that have low humidity, such as Colorado or Arizona, you may need
to go up one container size for the canopies to fit properly.
✪
If you are a dealer ordering a Vector 3, please let us know the state or country of origin of
your customer. This will help us decide if the container fit is compatible.
Example: A V5 has a main pack volume range between 425-550 cubic inches. When choosing
canopies, keep in mind that a main canopy with a stated volume of 548 cubic inches may not fit.
The reason is canopies that are the same model, produced by the same company, but are made of
different colored fabrics or manufactured at different times can have pack volumes that vary quite
a bit.
We have found that the pack volumes given by the canopy manufacturers can range from 5-20%
less or more than the actual pack volumes that have been determined by the Parachute Industry
Association.
For this reason the Relative Workshop reserves the right to change the container size when we
know your choice will not fit. We will make every effort to inform you of the discrepancy.
This information
is subject to
change at any time
without incurring
any obligation
whatsoever.
