PD Storm 190

The PD Storm 190 (Performance Designs Storm, 190 sq ft) is a high-performance 7-cell skydiving canopy designed to blend the reliable, on-heading openings of a 7-cell with the aggressive flight characteristics and powerful flare typically found in 9-cell designs.

Performance Characteristics
Reviewers and manufacturers highlight that the Storm 190 offers a “best of both worlds” experience for various disciplines.

Opening Behavior: Known for soft, consistent, and on-heading openings with a long snivel. It is frequently recommended for wingsuiting due to its stability during deployment.

Flight & Glide: Features a steeper glide and faster airspeed compared to traditional 7-cells like the PD Spectre. It has a long recovery arc and a wide speed range.

Flare Power: Praised for a powerful bottom-end flare, making it feel more like a Saber 2 during landing, provided the pilot uses the full toggle stroke.

Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of jumpers, from novice/intermediate skydivers at lighter wing loads to experts using it for camera work or casual Canopy Formation (CF).

Technical Specifications
According to Performance Designs and major retailers like ParaGear, or canada skydive gear the Storm 190 includes:

Fabric: All Zero Porosity (ZP) fabric construction.

Lines: Choice of Microline or Dacron.

Configuration: 7-cell design with an aspect ratio of approximately 2.14:1.

Special Kits: Can be ordered with a Casual CF kit, which includes three pilot chute attachments and a retractable bridle system
