PD Spectre 107

The Performance Designs (PD) Spectre 107 is a 107-square-foot, 7-cell skydiving canopy known for its soft, predictable, on-heading openings.

It is a popular choice for wingsuiters, professional cameramen, and jumpers who prioritize reliability and consistency over aggressive performance.

Key Features
7-Cell Design: Features a lightly tapered 7-cell configuration constructed from all-zero-porosity (ZP) fabric for durability.

Opening Characteristics: Widely acclaimed for “slow, soft, and on-heading” openings, which reduce the risk of line twists and malfunctions, especially in wingsuiting.

Flight Performance: Provides a surprisingly flat glide for a 7-cell canopy and smooth, progressive toggle response.

Versatility: Suitable for a broad spectrum of skill levels, from novice to experienced jumpers.

User Reviews and Expert Opinions

Reliability: According to reviewers on Canada skydive Gear, the Spectre is a “forgiving canopy” that recovers easily and is highly trusted by professional videographers who carry heavy camera equipment.

Wingsuiting: Testers on Reddit and Facebook highlight it as a top choice for wingsuiting due to its gentle openings, though some note the flare is not as powerful as high-performance 9-cell canopies.

Ease of Use: Long-time jumpers on Facebook mention it is easy to pack and handles “bad pack jobs” without resulting in hard openings.

Purchasing Options
The Performance Designs Spectre 107 is available through various specialized skydiving equipment retailers.
