Does anyone know if one of these packs smaller than the other? I have a feather 260 that I can barely fit in my skydiving rig. I was considering buying the trango 265 for sale on here if it will pack as small as my feather. Thanks.

or you can ask the seller of the Trango 265 :)

I freepacked a Tango265 with ZP leading edge into a Mirage G4 MO - the same container maxes out on d-bagged ZP skydiving canopies such as Sabre150. I did have to lengthen the closing loop a little for the Trango, but once done reepacking, no one could tell that the container was overstuffed.

does this help any ?

Don't forget, Atair measures their canopies

265 = 282 PIA spec

Ha! I thought maybe I could get a few opinions this way. I have a migage G3 that used to have a sabre2 135 in it. I fit my feather 260 in it last summer and did quite a few jumps with it. So now I don't like skydiving canopies and I want to find a cheap BASE canopy to skydive with. I forgot about the measuring being different. Most people in the states seem to go by the PIA system. I always tell people my troll is a 260 but attair would call it a 245. Now that I remember the measuring discrepancy, I don't think it will work. ie My 260 is really tight so a 280? might be a little much.
