MAIN CANOPY

Competitive CReW / CReW demo. Higher-performance than the Lightning.

7-cell CReW canopy with Dacron lines, mesh slider, target panels, reinforced stabilizers, tail pocket, retractable bridle.

Modern CRW, higher-performance than Lightning.

Specialist tool.

Competitive CReW and very experienced demo jumpers.

High-performance crossbraced. Positioned as learning HP under supervision and as a first crossbraced wing.

PD positions it for very experienced canopy pilots, first-time crossbraced, camera flyers, supervised HP learning and competition.

A bridge between high-performance and competition use.

Not for unsupervised progression.

Serious first crossbraced, canopy-piloting-oriented pilots.

Wingsuit-specific canopy. Allows upsizing up to 2 sizes without changing container.

PD calls it the "first wingsuit-specific canopy"; designed for soft reliable openings with large wingsuits; responsive handling; best-in-class flare; HMA line-set in the store.

Explicit wingsuit solution without changing container.

Mission-specific, less universal than Spectre/Storm.

Wingsuiters who want reliable opening and strong flare.

Aggressive fully elliptical 9-cell. Step-up from the Sabre3 without entering crossbraced territory yet.

All-ZP, HMA lines, highly tapered. Long recovery arc, long snivel, very steep glide, wide speed range, very light front riser pressure, long dynamic flare.

One of the cleanest non-crossbraced step-ups.

Much less forgiving than an all-round 9-cell.

Experienced canopy pilots, camera flyers, aggressive progression.

Recreational/competitive CReW and demo. PD’s classic CRW canopy.

Sizes at least 113–253 sq ft documented officially. Dedicated CF architecture.

Classic, well-supported PD CRW.

Current page shows fewer technical specs than other PD models.

Traditional CReW practitioners and demo teams.

Student, novice and demo canopy with extra weight. PD positions it as a progressive training platform.

Forgiving opening with imperfect body position and flare timing, easy to pack, forgiving construction. Line-set store with Dacron and Microline. PD does not publish AR, glide ratio, sink rate or projected area on the current page.

Error tolerance, training-friendly, broad safety margin.

Peak of the PD specialty range.

Professional tool, not a daily driver.

Top-tier competitive pilots and high-end XRW.

All-round ram-air 9-cell from novice to experienced; great for first personal canopy and occasional wingsuit.

Soft on-heading openings with short snivel; very flat glide; short recovery arc; easy flare; low-pack-volume construction with ZP + low-bulk fabric; line-set store with Vectran; line trim charts and order form covering sizes 107–260 sq ft.

Small pack volume, long spots, easy flare.

Built for ease — not aggressive progression.

First personal canopy, light jumpers, occasional wingsuit, packers who want simplicity.

All-round ram-air from novice/intermediate to expert at higher wing loadings. One of PD’s broadest use ranges.

Order form for sizes 89–230; Vectran or HMA line options; removable slider available but "not recommended for terminal deployment"; long recovery arc, progressive front risers, steep glide, strong rear risers, powerful flare, redesigned openings.

Sporty 7-cell: 9-cell-like behaviour in a 7-cell. Also wingsuit and casual CReW.

Steep glide, long recovery arc, powerful flare and soft openings with long snivel. Line-set with Dacron and Microline.

One of the most sporty 7-cells in its tier.

Not a dedicated CRW competition canopy.

Jumpers wanting a versatile 7-cell, wingsuit + some CReW.

High-performance freefall-use canopy, above Comp Velocity, below Peregrine. Hybrid variant with sail ribs.
