Sabre2.jpgSabre2 by Performance Designs
The Performance Designs Sabre2…the evolution of performance!

The Sabre2 is a powerful semi-elliptical nine cell canopy that provides performance that is exciting and fun for current intermediate and experienced jumpers. It feels aggressive at higher wing loadings but quite tame when lightly loaded. Sabre2 openings are soft and consistent, with proper technique during deployment and packing. The Sabre2 is well known for its powerful flare and wide speed range. With a steeper glide and a longer recovery arc than the flatter gliding Pulse or Stiletto, the Sabre2 is an excellent choice for those wanting a bit more aggressive piloting experience but not yet ready for the demands of the Katana or Velocity. The Performance Designs Sabre2…the evolution of performance!

If you are looking for a canopy that represents the evolution of modern, carefree performance, the Sabre2 is it.

Katana.jpgKatana by Performance Designs

So you’ve decided to step it up from your Sabre2…

The Katana is a fully elliptical nine cell canopy that is the ride of a life time for the experienced canopy pilot. Warning: this canopy is not for the faint of heart. Soft smooth openings, long control range, steep dive, light front riser pressure and powerful flare make the Katana an excellent choice for those looking for the engine to push their limits. Whether you’re considering an 83 or a 170 square foot wing, the Katana can provide the canopy enthusiast with the ride they are looking for now, and will continue to challenge their piloting skills for years to come. The Katana may look similar to a Stiletto at first glance, but beneath the surface they are two completely different machines!

The Velocity...a new level of Performance!

With the Velocity Performance Designs has set the standard for crossbraced canopy performance.

Incredibly clean aerodynamics give this powerful wing the largest flight speed range available, and amazing performance opportunities in the right hands. From opening to landing this is a very capable but very demanding canopy. The Velocity continues to allow highly experienced pilots to explore a range of ram air flight never before possible.

In the exciting discipline of Canopy Piloting, a fraction of a second or an extra meter can make the difference between being a hero… or a zero.

Storm.jpgStorm by Performance Designs
Thunder, Lightning, Wind and Rain…

...oh, the canopy. With great openings and a powerful flare at landing, this truly is the seven cell that thinks it’s a nine cell.

Looking for a reliable canopy that will keep you challenged? Have you been searching for the perfect wingsuit canopy? Considering some occasional CReW, but not ready to buy a second canopy? Well here you go. We would have called it the “Perfect Storm” but that was already taken...

Optimum.jpgPD Optimum Reserve by Performance Designs
Performance Designs has built over 35,000 PD Reserves, which has a well earned reputation as a safe, strong reserve that opens, flies and lands very well. The new Optimum builds upon that great track record. It not only exceeds the stringent standards of TSO C23d and packs far smaller than any other reserve available, but it also flies and lands far more like a main parachute. It has the most powerful flare, by a wide margin, of any reserve we have ever tried.

The Optimum Reserve is a rectangular 7-Cell canopy available in sizes ranging from 99 to 143 square feet. Sizes 160, 176, 193, 218, 235, 253 available for pre-order!

PD reserves are Performance Designs canopies at heart. You know what that means: responsive, predictable handling, excellent glide in the brakes, and outstanding landings. How important is this in a reserve? Let’s put it this way...bad spot, low altitude, under a reserve...now, how important do you think it is? Certifications are fine, but we don’t stop there. Our reserves have been tested well beyond the maximum weight and speed limits required for certification. Performance Designs’ Reserve...Performance you can count on! When you’re down to your last canopy...why would you settle for anything less?
