Frequently Asked Questions:
How to Install a small volume reserve in the Chairbag
The Chairbag is equipped with a internal flap to reduce the volume of the reserve container so that it can securely accommodate a wide range of reserve parachute sizes.
The internal flap has two sets of closing loops. Use the pair on the end of the flap for larger reserves, or the pair set further in on the flap for smaller reserves.
There are two slits in the flap, and it may be necessary to pass the closing loops through the slits in the flap as shown in the images below.
Volume of the Chairbag harness
Volume of the Chairbag harness is approximately 100 liters.
