Width A: The width of the backpad at the top of the container. Measured from the outside edge of the binding tape to the opposite outside edge of the binding tape.
Width B: The width of the backpad at the bottom of the container. Measured from the outside edge of the binding tape to the opposite outside edge of the binding tape.
Length: The length of the backpad from the outside edge of the binding tape at the bottom of the container to the outside edge of the binding tape at the top of the container (the yoke).

Recommended Canopy Size
The pack volume represented by these sample groups should be considered maximum recommended pack volumes to ensure proper fit, function and ease of packing. Down sizing main and/or reserve canopy one size category is acceptable. It is not recommended to use larger reserve canopies than represented in the sample group. This will compromise the function of the system. It is possible to temporarily use a main canopy one size larger than the recommended sample group. However this is not recommended for cosmetic and packing reasons.
Most canopy recommendations are determined by packing the canopy into the specified container by Relative Workshop. Canopy types included in this chart are intended to represent a group of common canopies suitable for each container size. Any canopy type with similar pack volume as the sample group will naturally be suitable for the same container. Brands appearing in this chart are in no particular way more suitable for our Vector containers over brands not listed.
Please contact Relative Workshop at rws@relativeworkshop.com to inquire about a canopy not listed here or if you have any other questions about sizing your rig. If you feel that a canopy not listed below fits into a particular container, please let us know and we will be happy to add it to our list should we feel the fit is acceptable for all our customers.
