PD Storm 7-Cell Main Canopy
The Performance Designs Storm is a versatile 7-cell main that blends soft openings, long control range, strong flare, and a surprisingly sporty flight feel.
PD built the Storm for jumpers who like 7-cell behaviour but still want many of the glide, recovery-arc, and landing characteristics normally associated with 9-cell mains.

Performance Designs Storm
A versatile 7-cell main with real range
The Storm suits a wide range of experienced sport jumpers when sized correctly: lighter wing-load novice-to-intermediate pilots, stronger pilots at higher wing loading, wingsuit flyers, and jumpers who want occasional casual CReW capability.
PD highlights the Storm's soft openings, steep glide, long recovery arc, long control range, and powerful bottom-end flare. It is a 7-cell canopy with more personality than the word 'docile' suggests.

Choose size first
Choose size by what you actually jump
The Storm covers a wide range of use cases, so the right choice depends on wing loading, wingsuit use, landing area, and the rest of your system.
Demoing the size is useful when possible, especially if you are switching canopy class or using the Storm for wingsuit or occasional CReW jumps.

What is the PD Storm built for?
The Storm is a versatile 7-cell main canopy for sport jumping, wingsuiting, demos, camera work, and casual CReW use when the size and pilot profile make sense.
Is the Storm good for wingsuiting?
It is commonly chosen for wingsuiting because of its 7-cell design and opening behaviour. Choose the size around your wingsuit use, wing loading, pack volume, and landing areas — not just because a canopy is in stock.

PD lists soft openings, steep glide, long recovery arc, long control range, and powerful bottom-end flare as key characteristics.

Yes. Use the 3D designer to apply official PD colours, save your design link, and add the selected Storm size to cart.
