PD Sabre 3 | An Exceptionally Average Skydiver's Review

Ойын-сауық

I had the chance to jump the new Performance Designs Sabre 3 canopy.
Check it out here: bit.ly/Sabre3PernDog
It's awesome.
I don't know anything about high-performance canopies, and the hype video Performance Designs put out just didn't make much sense to me - until I flew the Sabre 3.
The opening is a bit quicker but more comfortable than the Sabre 2. The slider snaps to the canopy. The end cells inflate more reliably. It doesn't oscillate on snivel like the Sabre 2.
It feels like a high-performance canopy that anyone can fly. It conserves altitude and flies calmly until you really start to give it some input. Then it performs!
I am certainly no skygod and my skills are basic at best - so here is my exceptionally average skydiver's review of the Sabre 3. Hope you guys like it!

    Yeah same as the Sabre 2, I recently downsized and don't really know how to shut the canopy down. With this one I start my flare a little higher and smoothly plane out. I'm taking a canopy course soon to learn a bit more.

    Nice and informative video. I will get my first rig soon and got an offer for a Sabre 2 and Safire 2. Do you have an advice or pros and cons which one you would recommend for a new Skydiver under 100 jumps? Cool music tracks by the way. Do you have a compilation?

    I liked the storm, super capable canopy but I haven’t flown one in years. Not sure I could give a review of it vs the Sabre 3. It has F-111 bottom skin if I remember correctly, meaning it has a better sink rate for accuracy and demos

    Have you flown a pilot before? What you described sounds like a pilot. (I've flown sabre 1, 2, silouhette, saphire, and my current canopy which is a pilot) Currently looking to downsize and its between the sabre 3 and another pilot. Just curious how you might compare the two.
