Hey! Did about 200 jumps on a PD Storm 150 (Video, Wingsuit, RW, Hop'n'Pop) and changed recently to an Icarus Omni 129. The Storm is a pretty good canopy with a lot of flare power. Openings often resulted in a turn at the end (off-heading) - talked to some others and they had the same experience. Due to a lot of camerawork I prefer soft and reliable openings. So I demo jumped an Icarus Omni 149 and ordered an Omni 129 some weeks ago. The openings are very soft, with a pleasant snivel. It is not as ground hungry as some other 7-cells (Spectre ...), has predictable reactions on toggle inputs, but landing is not the same like a Storm or Spectre. Due to a higher airspeed (it's my impression that it is a bit higher than any other 7-cell I jumped before) landing is not a problem, but the Omni offers not the same lift during flare like the Storm does. Front-Riser-Pressure is a bit less than the Storm, but still high - it's a 7-cell ... In summary: Storm: - turns during the very last opening-phase + Very easy to land even under difficult circumstances (lot of flare-power) +- Carrying camera equipment, openings could be softer / flying wingsuit openings are perfect (here you do not want to have a everlasting opening) Omni: - Less flare-power than a Storm or Spectre + Openings are very soft, on-heading + Pleasant pressure-input on toggles + very high quality in manufacturing Wingloads: Storm: 1,2 Omni: 1,4 Blue skies
