Why did Mirage Systems switch to a molar free bag on the Mirage G4?
On the previous Mirage harness/container models the common request from riggers was to make closing the reserve container easier and more aesthetically pleasing. There were two factors that contributed to riggers problems. Riggers were more familiar with packing a molar free bag and the inexperience packing a Mirage left too much reserve canopy volume in the middle. The molar free bag’s design addresses both issues. It is also made of Para-pak so it can more easily absorb rough handling such as vigorous use of packing paddles. See the Mirage G4.1 on-line manual for more information on packing the reserve.
