yes, but his pack volume is much smaller than 240ish base canopies...

Re: [urmo] pack volume
Hello,
If you already know that spec, why are you asking?
My experience has been that water landings typically
do not involve altitude, so maybe the fit isn't critical.
(You may be advised not to pack a Raven slider up.)


You could probably stuff that Raven into just about any container.

i recently packed a Raven 3 into a Vector II which was used with a Falcon 215 in the past years.

240ish. I have packed a Raven III into both a 220ish sized and a 240ish sized container, and it was much better fit into the 240ish.

I'd recommend going with velcro (with good side stiffeners) for that. Pins are much more sensitive to fit issues.
