Overview
Product Details
The Optimum Reserve is made from a 30 denier low-permeability, low-bulk fabric available exclusively from Performance Designs. We've combined this fabric with special aerodynamics and extensive reinforcing to create great strength, better performance, and a far smaller pack volume for a given size. The Optimums are rated for maximum exit weights ranging from 220 pound to as much as 290 pounds! This reserve has successfully been drop-tested at weights and speeds considerably higher than those required for FAA certification according to TSO C23d, the highest standard to-date. The Optimum flies and lands far more like a main parachute with a more powerful flare, by a wide margin, than any reserve we have ever tried.

Returns/Exchanges
We are happy to accept returns or exchanges for gear that is unused, in its original packaging, and undamaged within 60 days of delivery. All returned gear will be inspected before we process a return, refund or exchange.
Please contact us, and we will provide you with a return shipping label.
