PD Reserve vs Optimum Reserve – What’s the Difference?

PD Reserve The PD Reserve has been one of the most widely used reserve canopies in the world for decades and is known for its predictable handling, reliable openings, and excellent glide in brakes. It has a long track record and is trusted by jumpers everywhere as a dependable last-chance canopy. Optimum Reserve The Optimum uses a proprietary low-bulk 30-denier fabric that significantly reduces pack volume compared to traditional reserves. This allows jumpers to fit a larger reserve into the same container, while also providing powerful flare and flight characteristics that feel more similar to a main canopy. Quick comparison • PD Reserve: proven, durable, traditional reserve design • Optimum: lower pack volume, modern materials, main-like flight Both are excellent choices — the best option often depends on your container size, desired reserve size, and personal priorities.
