Canopy Sizing Guide
We are referencing to regular 9 cell Icarus canopies and Icarus reserves in our sizing guide. Please mind that different canopy models might pack differently. For example most of the 7 cell canopies are packing smaller and most of the cross braced canopies are packing bigger than regular 9 cell canopies. Please ask your canopy manufacturer about the pack volume of the particular canopy.We strongly do NOT recommend to combine a main canopy with an extremely tight pack volume with a reserve canopies with an extremely tight pack volume. Please choose the container size in which your canopies are fitting optimal. The smallest possible container size for your canopies is not the best option for you!
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
