SWIFT

The Swift is the product of a long and focused development process, and is perhaps the most versatile wingsuit in our range. Although its primary purpose is to be a beginner suit for talented new wingsuit flyers in the skydive and BASE environment, its capabilities are not limited to beginner flying.

Our mission for the Swift was to create a suit that was forgiving enough to be flown by pilots in the early part of their career, but with enough performance range to jump a wide variety of objects in the wingsuit BASE environment, and to flock comfortably in the skydive environment.

The Swift is a classic beginner-intermediate suit that you will never outgrow. Even when you move up to a larger, high-performance suit, you will still want to keep your Swift around for acro, backflying, or just some high-speed cloud-carving with your friends.

The Swift is designed for talented beginners and experienced pilots of all abilities. Back-fly inlets are offered as an option, making the Swift a fun and agile suit for freestyle flying and steeper, more advanced, formations.

Features
defaultImage

FORCE FEED

Our 3D reinforced inlet, with maximum intake to drag ratio. We believe that this inlet is one of the most important safety innovations featured on our suits.

defaultImage

INNIE-OUTIE (BASE MODE)

Easily transition between BASE Mode (harness inside), or Skydive Mode (harness outside). While in BASE mode, harness is entirely inside the chest compartment for less drag, and more glide (increased surface). There are no exposed holes when in BASE mode as the zippers close off the chest completely.

defaultImage

INNIE-OUTIE (SKYDIVE MODE)

Even if your focus is BASE jumping, it's important to be able to skydive your suit safely. While in skydive mode, handles are completely exposed at the chest and easy to access. For more info regarding this system's use in the skydive environment, click here.

RAD

Rapid Arm Deployment. An incredibly simple arced cut at the wrist makes it even easier to both reach your PC at pull time, and your toggles during opening. This basic innovation is an improvement to any wingsuit and makes the BOC pull safe and intuitive.

defaultImage

GET STIFFIE

lightweight, durable, and more stable than mesh, Porcher Sport Skytex is renowned for its mechanical stability. Helps to reduce overall weight and pack volume.

defaultImage

NUTSACK

A mesh leg wing pocket, for your nuts and stuff. Store your gear close to your center of gravity without having it affect the fit of your suit.

defaultImage

GLIDESKIN

A standard feature on certain models. This highly flexible, durable, and wrinkle-free material is ideal for the leading edge. Static (non-flexible) internal construction prevents leading edge deformation, meaning that the arm is flexible at the wrist area, but the profile is stable.

defaultImage

AIRTIGHT CONSTRUCTION

All of our suits are built to the most exacting specifications, and tested for airtight symmetry in our production facility at multiple points along the construction process. The end result is the highest build quality that we have ever seen.

defaultImage

SUPER SEXY ZIPPERS

We want your suit to look good. And not like other suits. We've ordered custom color YKK #10 Coil zips that will be standard on all suits, at no extra charge. Choose between five different colors when you order.

defaultImage

HOOK KNIFE

Every suit comes standard with a Carbon Aero Jack hook knife installed on the front of the suit, in a location that is ideal for jumping your wingsuit with your BASE harness inside the suit, in BASE mode.

LEADING EDGE

Leading edge construction is a complicated matter in wingsuit design. Performance can undoubtedly be enhanced by creating a rigid structure over the arm, but this results in a significant reduction in passive safety. Overly flexible designs can result in lost performance, and even profile deformation. We have focused on this part of our wingsuits since the beginning of our development, and we believe we have found the perfect solution in our three-layer leading edge design. The exterior layer is finished in Glideskin, a highly flexible and durable material which yields a very smooth surface when gently stretched. The middle layer is a static, non-flexible air-mesh material which is sized wider than the Glideskin. This air-mesh panel does not stretch, and does not allow profile deformation. The interior is finished in Lycra, which provides a smooth surface for skin or clothing to slide across, and houses the leading edge foam. It is important to note that although the glideskin is stretched across your arm to form the smooth leading edge, the profile cannot deform thanks to the interior layer of static air-mesh. The only part of the leading edge which allows full flex is the first few centimeters of the wrist, for easy BOC and brake toggle access.

PLANFORM

We have chosen to use a nearly identical stance and sweep to our other more advanced wingsuits, for several reasons. First of all, our goal is to create a seamless transition from our most basic, to our most advanced, wingsuits. When you transition from a Swift to a Colugo, or a Colugo to an Aura, the stance and sweep will feel instantly familiar, allowing an intuitive switch from suit to suit.

PROFILE

The Swift's profile is taken from the Aura, and adapted to the Swift's lower surface area and shorter chord. The thickness is similar to the Colugo, and was chosen for stable trim flight and good stability across a wide range of Angles of Attack.

FEATURES

We believe that all performance-enhancing features in a wingsuit should be standard. If it's important to performance flying, then it's included in the price of your suit. Foam padded foot cavities, chest pocket / belly-cam access, internal pressure-zips, nut-sack storage compartment, mylar reinforced leading edge, and rubber BASE soles are all standard features in all of our suits.

ACCESS

In BASE and Skydiving, easy BOC and brake toggle access has proven to yield the safest and most reliable deployments. We firmly believe in the mantra, "Keep it Simple and Safe". For that reason, we designed a suit for which cutaways are totally unnecessary, BOC access is of unparalleled ease, and brake toggles can be reached with little effort in any situation. The arm sweep, wrist-cut, and leading edge construction have all been engineered for what we think is a perfect balance of safety and performance.

PERFORMANCE

The Swift features excellent glide performance for its surface area, but our main focus was ease of use and versatility. The Swift's high arm sweep and arced wrist cut make deployment easier and safer than any other suit we have flown, and the suit can even be "flown" in an arched "box-man" position if needed. The arm wing surface area extends to the waist for glide range, but the arm wing top surface is well clear of the BOC area for easy access. If you have questions about flying your Swift at any level of performance, please don't hesitate to contact us! We are always here to answer your questions.

Please let us know what you think of this new design - we look forward to hearing about your flights from you. Cheers from all the team at Squirrel, we'll see you up there.

SWIFT REVIEW

"Hi Guys,

Yesterday i used my Swift for the first time. Actually it was my first wingsuit flight ever. I am the one with the black suit in the photo. The green swift is Marcos Menezes (@marcossifu) Feedback from a first time wingsuit flyer:

-Definitely it is a suit that works for beginners. It almost flies for itself. With small corrections and intuitive commands all the flight was smooth and stable. It was perfectly made according to the body measuring I sent, so it fits like a glove to the body. Not to mention it is a piece of gear that makes everybody stops and look how beautiful and well-designed it is.

-An important point is that it is also very easy to reach the PC when it's time to simulate and deploy. No need to turn your arms or do it fast in a strange way. Even with a slow movement you can easily do all the preparation for deployment without any fabric on the way. As a major concern for every first time wingsuit flier, I'd say that there´s no need to worry.

-Also extremely easy to reach the toggles with the zippers still closed. The constitution allows you to perfectly raise your arms and remove a line twist, it happened on my second flight. So I say it is possible.

I don't have the expertise or practice to speak about the performance of the suit. But what I can say is that I wouldn't recommend other suit than swift for initiation. Three of the main concerns of the beginner are extinguished: Stability/control during flight, reachable PC on deployment and mobility in case of parachute malfunction. It flies for you

Thanks also for the excellent customer service!"

"I have found the suit to be incredibly agile, very fast and very stable. Barrel rolls were effortless"

-Scotty Burns

"In terms of new wingsuiters, the pull is extremely easy, everything can be collapsed, the suit flies well in an arch, and it is extremely stable."

"I couldn't be more pumped! Once the suit was pressurized and flying, it fit like a glove. The uniform wing of the suit provides a lot of POWER! I'm looking foreword to flying this suit hundreds and thousands of times!"

-Thomas Grana

"The pressurization of arms and legs is amazing, even when I drop the grip to be able to take a grip, the arm wing stayed in place, completely pressurized, making it very easy to come back to the grip. The nice extra perk of the arm design allows for reaching the toggles and correcting any misalignment of lines during the opening process. That is also something we've been looking for a while in a wingsuit."

"I have a few more flights on the Swift and I gotta say, the more I fly it, the better I like it! Awesome combination of agility. performance and stability; it's definitely the best all-around wing suit I've flown."

"I'm in love with my Swift! It's my first wingsuit, as I told you, I've made like 5 jumps with two different Prodigy before, and I was really impressed - the Swift was so easy to fly even as a beginner. I just can say I felt really good in it, and even more comfortable than with the two others wingsuits I had tried. We made 14 jumps in 12 days. I was afraid of the openings but I haven't noticed any difficulty with finding the pull. What else? ...Safe and Easy to fly, and that was the most important point for me... thank you again!!!"

"The Swift was one of the first suits I flew when I was getting my wings with Taya Weiss. It was forgiving, and took minimal effort to keep stable. As I've progressed, I've continuously opened up the capabilities of the suit and discovered its truly wide range. Its a solid platform in a steep dive, out-floats suits around its size, rails turns, barrels with ease, and back flies intuitively. I'll definitely be adding it to the quiver."

"Finally got to fly my Swift today and holy shit. After being frustrated with my [other beginner suit] on every jump, it was such an eye opener. It did what I thought... relax into it... zoom. So awesome. Just a general thanks. I am now itching to wingsuit again."

-Loren Cox

"I have about 50 jumps with it, and it's been tons of fun! It has a huge range and I can keep up with other flyers, no matter how fast or slow they fall or what the forward rate is. Of course I can't keep up with the biggest sleeping bags, but on normal flocking jumps I can fly my slot with ease. And I feel that I can keep jumping and learning with this suit for a season or two more before upsizing, which is a great thing with a "beginner" suit. Anyway, thanks for a GREAT product, it has given me so much already! My next ws will definetely be a Squirrel, too!"

-Nikolaos Maenpaa

"I’m super happy with my Swift! Thanks all the squirrel team!! Yiiiiiiihaaaaaaaa!!!! It fits me super nice, and flies even better!"

"I just wanted to reach out to you and say thanks for getting me my suit a few days early! I'm so stoked I had it for the boogie over Lake Havasu for the Balloon Festival. I did my first flight on it here and I have to say, your suits are just as great as your customer service. I love the way it performed and I can't wait to jump it again. I got a total of 10 jumps on it this weekend, and I'm still a beginner and learning to fly, but I really can't complain with the way it went. Thanks again for everything. I'll be ordering a Funk from you in the future. "

"The suit fits me perfectly, the colours are super awesome and exactly what I wanted… and of course it gets a lot of comments for how rad it looks. I can’t really compare the suit to many others, but I love the way it flies, transitioning from front to back is effortless, it has plenty of power when needed and I can also flock with smaller suits without to much effort. Currently in Hawaii flying it all day long :) Overall awesome suit. 10/10

I’ll place an order for a FUNK in a few months ;)"
