"...seriously I loved the flight. It felt stable and fast and I was having so much fun... when it came to deployment I pulled high but had the same soft clean opening you guys seem to be perfecting. No issue getting the handle. So nice! 33mph vertical without trying at all in cruise mode. With that wingspan I will maintain muscle tone in my arms, for sure, but it's not difficult to fly."

"I think it's the best wingsuit that has ever been made."

"Feels just like the Colugo, but with more power. It was easy to fly, right from the start."

"First of all, thank you: I did the fastest starts I have ever done, and got the best glide too. Changing hand position during the flight is easy (I fly with hand on the arm wing for glide, but keep grippers in hand to dive and make hard turns) Start and pull are easy, I feel very confident during these 2 critical parts of the flight."

"I am completely convinced for the Aura. Two jumps from the plane, ten base jumps up to now. For me the Aura is easier to fly than the Colugo, almost as easy as the [intermediate suit from other brand]. Minimal or no flapping of the leg wing, stable flight. I never flew as far and as long as in the Aura, from the first jump on. For the moment I even can out fly my children."

"<span style="text-decoration: underline">I absolutely LOVE it!!</span> I can't believe how stable this suit is and how easy it is to fly. Even in an aggressive, diving turn at 150+ mph the suit was stable and easy to control. I had intended to go out and do several practice pulls on my first jump, thinking that it would take some effort and practice, but I did one, actually laughed with excitement (as corny as I know that sounds) and did another only because I couldn't believe it and wanted to experience it again. I spent every day over the holiday weekend jumping the suit, and never once felt tired or like I didn't want to get on another load. With my [other suit], I could do one or two jumps and I was done for the day. This suit is FUN! As soon as I deploy I can't wait to get on the ground, pack and get back on another load!

Rarely have I been so impressed by a product and I don't think I have ever taken the time to send an email like this. You guys have really permanently changed BASE jumping and skydiving and I can't wait to see (and experience) your new designs."

"This is the best suit that I have flown to date, and it took a couple years to find something to replace my previous suit. In short, in 3 jumps i learned as much as I would have in 50 jumps on any other suit. From glide to dive and carve, this is THE most intuitive suit i have flown. The aura is the real deal. <a href="http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4562595;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread" target="_blank">(full review)</a>."

"The Aura soars like a hawk and dives like a cruise missile. It's been an absolute pleasure learning to fly this suit, though a bit of an adjustment at first coming from the V4. Definitely skydive this suit a bunch before taking it to the BASE environment (as you always should) and it will treat you well."

"Hey Squirrel Team! Thanks for making the Aura such a badass suit. Sure, we're having fun opening up new exits here in Moab, but how many suits allow you to climb up the risers and recover to a controlled landing while completely zipped up? I can honestly report that I had zero restrictions reaching and climbing the risers. No, it wasn't easy (and I'm not exactly a couch potato) but the suit did not make the situation worse, even while still fully zipped... how many suits can claim that?! If I had been forced to go to zippers before climbing risers, I may have ended up in the Colorado River (which still has ice chunks floating down it).

Thank you, Team Squirrel!"

"After having a chance to jump it this weekend at the DZ I can honestly say the Aura fits perfectly and flies great! Glide ratio of 3.0 on first flight, surprisingly stable in a steep dive, great maneuverability, deployment is probably easiest of any suit I've flown. Haven't done any acro in it yet so we'll find out how instability recovery will be but I'm sure it will rock. Combine that with the quick delivery, craftsmanship and design features makes the overall experience epic. Thanks!"

"Thanks Matt and Team for developing such an amazing Wingsuit. First I was scared about how big the Aura is, but it was soo easy to start, fly and pull!! No bad surprises - just WOW!"

"The Squirrel Aura doesn’t make you compromise: you get agility combined with a fast start and good glide. The Aura is the 8th wingsuit I’ve owned, and I’m planning to stay in this one for a while. (Read Steph’s <a href="http://www.highinfatuation.com/blog/squirrel-aura/" target="_blank">complete review here</a>.)"

"Something has seriously changed in the BASE world! After seeing <a href="https://vimeo.com/98047912" class="vimeo">this video</a> you cannot think other than this is one of the best wingsuits in the world. After few jumps in this suit I have totally changed the way I see wingsuit BASE, and I understand that the potential of this wingsuit is really high. Many thanks Matt Gerdes, Mike Steen and all Squirrel team for this. I have never had so much fun with a wingsuit. Mucho B.A.S.E. and be safe. "

"Did my first 3 jumps on the Aura yesterday. I didn't have the balls to fly it earlier. Been in my locker for two months now and the older I get the more nervous I am for the big suits. Now I wish I had flown it earlier. What a magnificent suit it is. Sooooooo easy to fly and easy to handle. Hats off to you. Its much easier to fly than any other "big" suit I flown. And the power is awesome. You have created the best suit out there without a doubt combining the power, glide and agility with the easy flying (feel safe flying it and easy on the arms). It's so easy to maneuver and does behave exactly how I want it to behave. I had the Colugo before and in my opinion this is a much better suit and easier to fly. I absolutely LOVE the Aura. Keep up the good work guys and cant wait for the Funk as well. It's been a loooong time since I had so much fun skydive wingsuiting :) All the best."

"Just wanted to thank you guys (again) for making such great wingsuits! I finally got the chance to test the Aura in the mountains and now I love it even more. It starts super fast, flies great and is just fantastic!"

"Hey Guys. Thanks heaps! first 6 skydives this weekend and the suit is perfect, perfect fit, perfect delivery time, perfect communication perfect everything! got heaps to learn and loving every second of it! the Aura is the best suit I have ever bought thank you guys so much! and also feral who also hooked me up guiding me in the right direction, cheers!"

"This reply is late, but this was done on purpose. I wanted to get some flying done on the new suit before I replied.

The suit is just rock solid. It feels stable in every aspect of flying. I was so nervous before my first skydive with it, and a thousand thoughts were running through my head. When I landed after that first flight I could not stop laughing. I knew right then that this is my home for the next couple of years. By the third skydive my confidence had grown and I really started to put some aggression and angle into the flying. I remember getting my shoulders really into it, carving turns and diving steep down on some clouds beneath me. Seeing my own shadow right under me on those clouds I remember thinking “wow, this speed is amazing”. And the flare… So powerful, yet I’m still maintaining full control throughout it. Then it’s time to pull and I reach casually back with one arm (!) and everything is super stable! It flies great on just the leg wing with both arms reached back too, but the one arm pull is amazing. "

"I'm so beyond stoked got 3 epic jumps today and can't wait to go fly tomorrow:))! Thank you so much for overnighting it to me here I really appreciate that and it mean a lot. I loved the suit in all ways, especially how the pull was easier than my P___ 3 ;) like for real !!!"
