PD Comp Velocity Cross-Braced Canopy
The Performance Designs Comp Velocity is a competition-focused cross-braced main for experienced canopy pilots who want speed, precision, and powerful shutdown performance.
PD describes the Comp Velocity as an evolution of the original Velocity, with advanced construction and dynamic handling for high-performance canopy flight and competitive landings.
Choose your size, line type, slider setup, and colour layout in the 3D designer. If stock appears, treat availability as the final filter after the setup already makes sense.
Performance Designs Comp Velocity
A serious competition canopy for experienced pilots
The Comp Velocity is for experienced high-performance canopy pilots, competition-focused jumpers, and pilots who already have the experience for cross-braced flight. It is not a general progression canopy.
Expect a responsive, powerful wing with a steep glide, long recovery arc, strong rear-riser performance, and serious shutdown power when flown by the right pilot.

High-performance decision
Do not buy Comp Velocity just because it is available
This is a high-performance cross-braced canopy. Demoing the size when possible is useful because small changes in loading, line type, and slider setup matter on this wing.
Pick the setup you already intend to fly; stock availability should be the last filter, not the reason for the choice.

Comp Velocity stock
Check current PD Comp Velocity stock
If a Comp Velocity stock canopy is available, match the size and setup carefully before ordering. High-performance canopy choices should never be rushed just because a canopy is in stock.

Comp Velocity questions
PD Comp Velocity FAQ
Practical buying answers for pilot profile, stock, custom design, options, and production timing.
Who should fly the PD Comp Velocity?
The Comp Velocity is for experienced high-performance canopy pilots and competition-focused jumpers. It is not a first main canopy or a casual progression wing.
How is the Comp Velocity different from a standard sport canopy?
It is a cross-braced canopy with very responsive handling, a steep glide, long recovery arc, and powerful flare. That performance requires strong canopy skills and conservative decision-making.
Which line and slider option should I choose?
Choose the line type based on what you want from the canopy and how much line maintenance you are happy with. Thicker lines are stronger and usually more durable, but create more drag and pack a little bulkier. Smaller performance lines have less drag and a cleaner feel, but you should be okay with replacing them more often. For the slider, choose the setup you already know you want; if you are not sure, ask your canopy coach before ordering.
Can I design the Comp Velocity colours online?
Yes. Use the 3D designer to apply official PD colours, save the design link, and add the selected size and setup to cart.
Should I demo before buying?
Yes, if possible. A demo jump on the right size is strongly recommended before committing to a serious high-performance canopy change.
How long does a custom Comp Velocity take?
A custom Comp Velocity is made to order by Performance Designs. Current production time: 11-18 weeks.
