When choosing any wingsuit, consider these three things*:
SUIT: | CORVID | AURA 4 |
---|---|---|
Your Experience | You already have significant WS BASE experience on something as large as an ATC or FREAK series suit. | You have several seasons of WS BASE under your belt in suits at least as large as the FREAK series. |
Your Priorities | You want an easy start, either because you appreciate extra margin or you’re moving on from the most classic jumps. You want the easiest possible BOC and toggle / riser access. | Maximum speed, glide, and flare-power for long and aggressive lines of flight. You are scoping big lines on big mountains. |
Your Jump Locations | You need a 4x4. Either because, as above, you’re progressing into more technical jumping and you want more margin, or because you really need the margin for locations like Moab, the Wasatch, etc. | The biggest flights in the Alps. You’re venturing into jumps with long & steep lines, or distant landing zones. |
*Please note that these questions are not asking about future goals, or long term plans. Get the wingsuit you are ready for now, not the wingsuit you dream to fly in the future. Your current experience is all that matters!
