Very solid in it' manufacture. But, I wouldn't expect anything else less from Performance Design's. Packing the PD Reserve is a pleasure. It has a small pack volume for it's size. The fabric is easy to handle thus making stuffing the canopy into the freebag a breeze.
Deployments are no suprize eather.
Soft, fast and on heading. But, thats what is expected from Preformance Design's. I found flying the PD Reserve to be a pleasure. It is rock solid in the air. It handles extremely well wether in full flight or deep brakes.
