 Katana 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!

 Crossfire 2
The ultimate high performance 9 cell!
When Icarus released the Crossfire, they revolutionized what was possible with a 9 cell non-cross braced canopy.
The Crossfire is categorically a step up in performance from any other 9 cell in the world. Its swoop capability almost rivals cross-braced canopies such as the EXTreme FX while maintaining many other more desirable flight characteristics including a long recovery arc, an incredible swoop distance and with openings that are unparalleled.
The Crossfire 2 has the same impressive capabilities and now incorporates some of the most responsive toggle and riser control inputs of any canopy in the market. It has a light front riser pressure and an even longer recovery arc.
The Crossfire 2 is a highly elliptical, constant cell aspect ratio, closed nose, fully surface shaped inflatable wing capable of unrivaled performance.
It will out perform any non cross-braced 9 cell available.

 Sabre2 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.

 Safire 2
This product comes with a free gift! Add to cart to see what you've earned!
In 1998 Icarus released the Safire. A revolutionary canopy, being the first all purpose 9 cell canopy to include a lightly & truly elliptical planform shape offering superior openings and flight characteristics compared to competing mid-performance 9 cell designs at the time.
They knew that the superior characteristics of this design (such as a lightly elliptical planform shape, and constant cell proportioning) would not be ignored by other canopy manufacturers. This style of design would become the benchmark for mid-range performance canopies and other manufacturers would build similar designs.
The Safire 2 goes one step ahead of the competition again. Like the original Safire it is a truly elliptical canopy with a light shaping incorporating a constant cell aspect ratio which consistently controls the airfoil shape across the canopy, maintaining increased rigidity and reducing drag.
The Safire 2 is an enhanced version integrating new trim and plan form shaping techniques offering an increased glide ratio, more responsive flight controls both on toggles and risers, a more powerful flare and a shorter recovery arc making the canopy even more predictable.
Its openings are arguably the sweetest of any canopy in its class. So much so that you'd swear it was a 7 cell opening above your head.
The Safire2 has been designed as an all-round, no hassle mid-range canopy offering the benefits of a 9 cell performance but without getting radical or requiring any special attention. It's easy to use with no hassle consistent openings, easy packing and great landings.
This makes the Safire's performance suitable for a wide range of uses. It is suitable for a first canopy when lightly loaded or can be a modern mid-range performing wing at heavier wing-loadings.
The result - An impressively balanced all-round wing offering superior opening qualities, exceptional glide and range, outstanding slow flight stability and superior safety.
For those who want the latest that technology has to offer, but cant be bothered dealing with the issues normally associated with ellipticals, or don't wish to jump outdated designs with limited performance, then the Icarus Safire is the perfect choice.
We recommend it for wing loadings from .75 PSF to 1.6 PSF.
Standard sizes: 99, 109, 119, 129, 139, 149, 169, 189, 209, 229.

 Nitron by Precision Aerodynamics
Predictable openings, without getting slam dunked or spun-up. Smooth, responsive, predictable front riser control. Plenty of managable energy at the bottom end of the flight for those consistent dreamy landings...
When Precision decided to introduce a new canopy to the high-end, non-crossbraced 9 cell market, they took the time to ask a lot of questions and to get a lot of answers from canopy pilots across this segment of skydivers. What they came up with was the Nitron.
The Nitron features HMA (Technora) suspension lines for lowest bulk and drag, as well as for longevity and durability. The continuous line configuration has no cascades, and enables a more stable trim package for enhanced performance and control. The snag resistant collapsible slider comes standard. The Nitron is available in 8 sizes ranging from 78 up to 170 square feet, and as with all Precision Aerodymanics products, he Nitron is 100% American made with 100% American factory service.
