Today’s wingsuiters have flocked (8 out of 10 puns are absolutely intended) towards larger and larger suits, resulting in deployment problems due to larger burbles….that is, until the release of the HORIZON, PD’s first wingsuit-specific canopy. Eliminating burble-worries (try explaining that phobia to your therapist), this canopy will be the drama-free conclusion to your wingsuit flight. All that and you still get incredible flare and responsive handling. Best of all, no need for a second wingsuit container–the Horizon packs up small, giving you the option of upsizing (up to two full sizes compared to a non-crossbraced ZP main) on the same rig. All solution, no sacrifice.
The Performance Designs Horizon Main Skydiving Parachute Canopy is a low-bulk 7-cell main canopy designed to be an easy ‘off button’ to end your wingsuit flight with as little drama as possible. The emphasis for developing this canopy was on eliminating deployment problems caused by the burble of larger wingsuits, without sacrificing a great flare or responsive handling. In fact, we think the Horizon has the best stopping power of any canopy in its class. Best of all, the Horizon gives you the ability to upsize as many as two full sizes compared to a non-crossbraced ZP canopy main, meaning you can fit a larger canopy in your existing rig for wingsuit jumps. No need for a new container!
