I was jumping a Sabre 1 and it was time to get a new canopy. After much research I went with the Storm. I only have approximately 10 jumps on my new Storm 190 and I could not be happier. It has a fantastic crisp opening, fun to fly and a predictable powerful flare. As always PD got it right. Not much more I can say because I don't have that many jumps on it yet, but I look forward to all of my future jumps with this canopy. Additional Feedback added 11/13/08 - I recently learned on my Storm 190 that it will get you back to the DZ from a bad spot. I started to look for an alternate landing point but decided to try to make it back. I made it back with 1000 ft of altitude to spare. This parachute really works as advertised.
