PD Optimum 106 Reserve

The PD Optimum 106 is a premium, high-performance 7-cell skydiving reserve parachute manufactured by Performance Designs.

It is engineered using a proprietary, low-permeability 30-denier fabric that drastically reduces pack volume.

This size 106 canopy allows skydivers to fit a highly reliable reserve into a container size normally built for smaller traditional reserves.

The Optimum Reserve is made from a 30 denier low-permeability, low-bulk fabric available exclusively from Performance Designs.

We’ve combined this fabric with special aerodynamics and extensive reinforcing to create great strength, better performance, and a far smaller pack volume for a given size.

This reserve has been successfully drop-tested at weights and speeds considerably higher than those required for FAA certification according to TSO C23d, the highest standard to date.

The Optimum flies and lands far more like a main parachute with a more powerful flare, by a wide margin, than any reserve we have ever tried.
