parachutes skydiving

    Through extensive Research and Development, and the use of both Zero-P and more conventional F-111 low porosity fabrics, we have developed a 9-Cell that combines characteristics formerly unattainable in a single parachute. The Silhouette has a Zero-P topskin and F-111 stabilizers, ribs, bottom skin and slider.
    The Silhouette is easy to pack due to the combination of fabrics. It has consistent openings and excellent glide ratio.  The Silhouette displays more responsive handling characteristics than traditional 9-Cell canopies at equivalent wing loading. It has a fast turn rate, while maintaining predictable turn recovery. This responsiveness and agility enables the skydiver to experience crisp handling and performance while maintaining a lower wing loading than one would normally expect. With the benefit of the additional square footage, there is a corresponding increase in forgiveness, both in flight and on landing. The landings on the Silhouette are what you would expect from a Performance Designs' canopy...superb.  If you are looking for performance, forgiveness and ease of packing...the Silhouette is your answer.
