Looking for a tough, highly capable reserve that has stood the test of time? How does a 20 year track record and 45,000 PD reserves in use work for you! 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.
