 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.

Pilot by Aerodyne
A canopy designed by pilots for pilots.
The Pilot, by Aerodyne, is a 9-cell ram-air canopy with top and bottom skins built from zero-porosity fabric for best performance and longevity. Since its introduction, the Pilot has charmed beginners and experienced jumpers alike. Whether your cup of tea is a conventional approach or something a little more playful, the Pilot will surprise you with its stable flight, responsive turns and comfortable flare. When flown under a lighter wing loading, the Pilot is an ideal choice for those who downsize after initial training and buy their first canopy. Increase the wing loading and the Pilot becomes a favorite companion of the more experienced skydiver who enjoys the higher performance and faster turns it can produce.
Features or the Pilot:
Comes standard with 725 lbs. Spectra lines, soft links and a slider with new “lightweight” stainless steel grommets
Made of zero-p fabric for ultimate performance and longevity
Avalable in Aerodyne's new ZPX fabric as an option
Color coded line attachments for easier PRO packing
Moderate “planform factor” provides excellent turn response without excessive oversteer

 Fusion by Precision Aerodynamics
The Fusion is Precision's entry range 9-cell elliptical main. This canopy has been developed for the skydiver who wants a little more kick and excitement than might be found in a 7-cell, but is still relatively docile when compared to Precision's upper end 9-cell design, the Nitron.
Wing loading is truly the key to the flight performance envelope of the Fusion. Depending on wing loading, the flight characteristics of the Fusion will grow from being docile and tame at the low end to exciting and zippy on the upper end, but the Fusion will always remember who is boss, and respond accordingly.
The Fusion could serve a first time buyer very well for their first thousand jumps, and with the High Modulus Aramid fiber suspension lines there will be little worry about having to change out the lineset between seasons.
This high-lift low-drag airfoil will always get you back from those questionable spots (or at least get you closer to the DZ than those other guys). For the more experienced skydivers flying at higher wing loadings, the Fusion can still kick up enough attitude to even satisfy those old-timers who used to fly the blade courses with their pocket rockets.

 Storm 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. In some respects similar to the Spectre, the Storm has a shorter snivel, a steeper and faster glide, wider speed range and more dynamic flare. 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...

 Omega by Icarus Canopies
This product comes with a free gift! Add to cart to see what you've earned!
The Icarus Omega is a 7-Cell, Lightly Elliptical, Zero Porosity, All-Round canopy. It has been designed as a no hassles, RW, Demo Jumping, Fun Accuracy, Fun CRW canopy. It is super easy to use with delicious '7-cell' openings, easy packing and gentle landings.
ZP 7-cells have gained popularity because of their ease of use and low baggage factor. They are outperformed on landing by 9-cell (and greater) canopies, but their ease of use is definitely what many people are looking for.
The Icarus Omega is a truly elliptical canopy, but the shaping is very light. The planform has been optimized between enhancing the canopy's performance and feel, yet maintaining easy flight characteristics and consistent controlled openings. The Omega's cells vary in width to maintain a constant cell aspect ratio and to consistently control the airfoil shape across the canopy.
At lighter wing loadings (below .9 PSF) it is a good student canopy or first canopy or for someone who just wants to take it easy. At heavier wing loadings (up to 1.5 PSF) it will get zippy and fun while maintaining cruizy openings and landings. Being a 7-cell of conventional construction the pack volume is very small.
We recommend it for wing loadings from .75 PSF to 1.5 PSF.
Standard sizes: 99, 109, 119, 129, 139, 149, 169, 189, 209, 229.

 Omni by Icarus Canopies
This product comes with a free gift! Add to cart to see what you've earned!
The Icarus Omni is the latest innovation in 7 cell canopy design. 7 cell canopies gained popularity because of their ease of use and gentle characteristics. The disadvantage with 7 cells is their reduced lift and more subtle flare characteristics when compared with many 9 cell designs. While this is no issue for beginners or at lighter wing loadings many more experienced skydivers also prefer the ease of use that comes with 7 cell canopies and are prepared to sacrifice lift and glide for this benefit.
The Omni addresses these issues offering a larger range of flight on an all purpose 7 cell canopy.
The Icarus Omni is a 7-Cell, Semi and Lightly elliptical, Zero Porosity canopy. It has been designed as an all purpose canopy with soft on-heading openings, predictable flight characteristics, light toggle and riser pressure and with the added advantage of an increased glide ratio and greater flare power when compared with many other 7 cell designs.
The result, a 7 cell with an increased operating range, useable for all facets of modern skydiving.
At lighter wing loadings (below .9 PSF) it is a good transition canopy or for someone who likes to take it easy. At heavier wing loadings (up to 1.5 PSF) it will have noticeable performance while maintaining soft openings and great landings.
We recommend wing loadings from 0.75psf to 1.5psf.
Standard sizes: 99, 109, 119, 129, 139, 149, 169, 189, 209, 229.
