Product Description

See the Katana stock list for current availability. When you have made your decision, you can place your order on the PD website or open this Katana order form and fax it to Way Cool.

The Katana is a high-performance canopy designed for experienced canopy pilots. It is a highly tapered or "elliptical" nine-cell canopy made from zero-porosity fabric. Sweet openings, wide control range, steep dive, light front riser pressure and powerful flare make the Katana very suitable for modern canopy flying styles. The Katana may look similar to a Stiletto at first glance, but beneath the surface they are two completely different machines!

Price Information

PD Canopies are imported on demand from the USA. A condition of the PD dealership is that only retail prices can be displayed. Due to the complex nature of importing and that the prices are very dependent on the exchange rate of the day, we are only able to quote you a price on a canopy on the day.

We have however put together this estimation table to give you an close estimation of what you would expect to pay for this canopy. Or you can use our price calculator here: PD Canopies

PD retail list price	US$2285
Exchange rate for AU$1	US$0.78	US$0.81	US$0.84	US$0.87	US$0.9	US$0.93	US$0.96
Estimated AU$ price includes all taxes	AU$3098	AU$2985	AU$2880	AU$2783	AU$2692	AU$2607	AU$2528

AU$ prices include all import charges and are direct to you from PD via Way Cool. This is direct via an authorised PD dealer, not a sub-dealer of a large US dealer. Shipping to you from our warehouse is extra and is usually via overnight courier and under $30.
