OMICRON
ULTRA-LOW-BULK WINGSUIT SKYDIVING MAIN
- Hybrid: Ultralight-Sail / ZP / PN9
- Massively improved performance and durability
- New profile and leading edge
- Reduced front riser pressure
- Excellent bottom end flare & rear riser response
The Omicron is a hybrid-sail 7-cell ultra-low-bulk parachute for wingsuit skydiving. Think of it as a turbo-charged Epicene Pro designed for experienced wingsuiters. It is not just a material change: A new profile and improved panel shaping combine with a hybrid-sail top surface to deliver incredible flare, speed, and glide in a canopy that opens comfortably with all wingsuit types.
What it is...
The Omicron is a hybrid-sail 7-cell ultra-low-bulk parachute for wingsuit skydiving. Think of it as a turbo-charged Epicene Pro designed for experienced wingsuiters. It is not just a material change: A new profile and improved panel shaping combine with a hybrid-sail top surface to deliver incredible flare, speed, and glide in a canopy that opens comfortably with all wingsuit types.
What you'll notice:
Front riser pressure is comfortably low, and it responds well to rear-riser input during landing approaches (we could say swoops, but... you know). It packs very low volume, similar to the Epicene, but it will take you 45 seconds longer to pack. The openings are 90% as reliable as the Epicene series. Everything else is impressively different -- our team pilots love the flare, speed, and glide of this canopy.
Omicron or Epicene Pro?
The Epicene Pro remains the safest and most docile parachute we have ever used for wingsuit skydiving. If your highest priority is reliable, gentle wingsuit openings, then the Epicene Pro is recommended. Experienced skydivers who seek a higher performance and more durable wingsuit main should consider the Omicron.

"The Omicron is by far the most fun to fly wingsuit canopy that I have jumped. It feels compact and it turns and dives exactly how I would want it to. The front riser pressure is mild, and the recovery arc is longer compared to the Epicene Pro, so the rear risers carry further. I've landed a few times on rears on no wind days. The toggle response is impressive, and the flare is best in class. It's awesome!"

"First off let me say this thing is amazing and I’m very impressed. The flare is impeccable and openings are on heading and stable, so no compromise there. And to be honest there is no compromise anywhere; this is the perfect canopy to have the most fun on if you like wingsuiting AND swooping! The riser input is there and it’s enough to plane out on them or hop on them for a long spot. The canopy has amazing response and wants to go for days. Thank you guys for making this happen. "

"By far the best wingsuit canopy I've ever flown. Zero compromise to opening performance while achieving an increase in flight and flare performance when compared to the Epicene. My favorite part is at the very end of the swoop when you get into that deep flare you get the response you want."

"I now have 163 jumps on my Omicron. I absolutely love it. The openings are amazing. (very close to the Epicene Pro I had). For me, the Omicron provides more consistent landings than my (other brand/model)150 full zp and my Epicene Pro! The flares are so smooth and I feel my inputs a lot more than with other canopies. Even with 600 jumps on the other wingsuit specific canopies and never and not 100% comfortable at all times in either canopy, I have felt 100% comfortable in all types of weather conditions since my first jump on the Omicron. The packing is easy just like it was with the Epicene. I also really enjoy the canopy flight. The Omicron is an amazing canopy. Also, I am so glad you offered a 160. It is the perfect size for my weight and skill level. I am planning to buy another one for my turn rig! Thank you!"
