Ace and Blackjack: same canopy less the PAC valves. Do the PAC valves affect, in any significant way, the pack volume of the blackjack. i.e. are ace's and blackjack's of the same size interchangeable for a rig built for one or other.

CHEERS and BEERS

I have a BJ 260 w Zp and an Ace 260 without ZP. Both fit in my perigee pro built for an ace 260. I do notice a little higher pack volume with the BJ in there. but not enough for me to worry about it. i dont change the lenght of the closing loops.

perfect. That helps alot.

thanx for the reply

CHEERS and BEERS

I have about 250 pack jobs on my BJ 260 and maybe 150 on my Ace 260, and I don't see any notable difference in pack volume. (No ZP on either canopy) The BJ might be the tiniest bit bigger, but not enough to change the size of a container. They are interchangable. I've switch containers with them and not changed closing loop lengths.

Hope this helps.
