FEATURES
MONOCHAMBER DESIGN
All sections of all wings are fed by any and all of the eight inlets on the top and bottom surfaces. The suit feels incredibly consistent across the entire span in all maneuvers.
GEN2 SYMBLEND PROFILE
We've improved the profile for better belly performance, more flare, and lower stall speed (think XRW). It remains stable and comfortable at all angles from XRW to Head Down.
CARBON FIBER GAS PEDALS
First used in our race suits, this optional carbon fiber insert increases lengthwise tension in the suit. Easily install the plates for more power and precision.
NEW VALVE INLETS
Our High-AR inlet has gotten an upgrade and functions even better with the Monochamber design -- you'll feel the consistency of the Monochamber, with better air retention in maneuvers and transitions.
INTEGRATED PROFILE GRIPPER
Increases lifting surface without increasing the total surface area of the suit, while placing the pilot's hand in a more natural location.
NEW SEAMLESS LEADING EDGE
Our proprietary leading edge Glide Skin now wraps more of the forward wing chord for reduced drag at a critical area of the wing.
RAD
Clean Pulls: A carefully designed forearm segment of your leading edge allows better access to your PC at pull time, and risers during opening. BOC access and early riser control are safer and more intuitive.
CUSTOM INTERNAL PRESSURE
Airtight zippers! All of our suits allow you to choose the amount of internal pressure in the arm wings. Choose from full pressure for maximum performance, or reduce it for easier maneuvering in acro / freestyle flight.
AIRFOIL CROSS SECTION
Designed for Performance or Freestyle, the removable airfoil cross section adds glide and speed performance and increases agility and range in any suit that it is added to. More information on leading edge foam.
MORE POCKETS
More snack-holes! Every Squirrel wingsuit gets an inside-arm pocket and a nutsack. If you need mega-storage, we got you. Just choose that option on the order page.
QUICK-ZIP ATTACHMENT
The new Quick-Zip system more durable and easier to use, making suit-rigging fast and easy. The adjustable lateral slot accommodates a range of harness types and sizes.
EVOLV TRAX RUBBER BASE SOLE
The new TRAX Super Sticky BASE Sole has been developed in cooperation with Evolv, a leading climbing shoe manufacturer. The tread pattern is designed specifically for exit force traction, and the rubber is sticky in all conditions: wet, dry, warm, and cold.
MAGSNAPS
New magnet snaps require no pressing action to attach and securely lock together until they are intentionally lifted upwards to separate. Sometimes it's the little things...

DETAILS
Freestyle agility, with “big suit” performance: The FREAK series is the go-to choice for advanced acro & freestyle flying.
The Freak 4 was a leap forward in performance and handling with the addition of the Monochamber, and the Freak 5 builds on this progress with a more solid overall feel and the same incredible agility. You will notice three areas of improvement:
- A more consistent feel in the arm wing, with the suit being less sensitive to tension and AoA.
- Better pressure retention in maneuvers with slightly more power in the arm wing.
- Improved overall handling
MONOCHAMBER TECH
All parts of the arm and leg wings are fed from every inlet on the suit, for an excellent feeling of balance and consistency through maneuvers.
VERSATILITY
It's the ultimate dropzone suit. No other suit in its class comes close in terms of speed range, flare, and overall handling & performance. Don't take our word for it — get a demo.
AGILITY & PERFORMANCE
The symblend profile has been tuned for better performance on the belly, with the same backflying performance and overall agility.
The Freak series remains the benchmark for all-around performance in the experienced pilot category. The entire SQRL team agrees that this is the one must-have suit for any serious pilot.
NOTE: Our Airfoil Cross Section foam is highly recommended for FREAK series suits.
MATERIALS
MAIN SURFACES
Our main surface fabric is a 210D Rip-stop, with low stretch and an ideal rigidity-to-comfort ratio. Its balance of weight / durability, along with mechanical stability and tear strength, makes it the perfect mid-weight material for wingsuits.
LEADING EDGE MATERIAL
GlideSkin is an aerodynamic and wrinkle-resistant material that features a fine grain that is aligned with the relative wind.
INTERNAL RIBS
The Freak 5 rib material varies across the span. Lightweight sail cloth ribs support the thicker section of the profile, with mesh used in thinner areas where crossports are less ideal.
ZIPPERS
SQRL wingsuits are constructed with the strongest and highest quality zippers available. Locking YKK 10C zips are used on the main body, harness-interface, and arm sections of every suit we make.
Reviews
"Freak 5: First flight on the Freak 5 after a few months off from jumping felt like a seamless transition from the Freak 4. Super smooth, seamless transition to be honest and didn’t even notice I was in a different suit until flare time. The Freak 5 seemed to really handle the flares much better, I was locked in and seemed to easily gain altitude. Transitions and carving felt extremely precise and nimble, back flying felt like a dream. This suit gives the Creature a run for its money!

"Over the past three years and 300 wingsuit skydives with the Swift 4 and ATC 3 (as well as 5.5 hours in the wingsuit wind tunnel, 50 subterminal BASE jumps and also 50 skydives and 25 terminal BASE jumps with my Sumo 3), I made 50 more focused wingsuit flights with my Freak 5 before taking it to Brento and Lauterbrunnen for my first season of wingsuit BASE - and IT IS AWESOME!
Like all my other Squirrel suits and gear, the materials, fit and finish are impeccable. The SuperCustom graphics give that added touch of personalization!
In the skydiving environment, the Freak 5 has lots of range allowing me to fly with ATCs, Creatures and even Swifts! Transitions are snappy and more fluid than in the ATC, however, I’m glad I put so much effort in learning them in the Swift and ATC and tunnel environments because it made them more intuitive in the Freak. "
-William Macdonald
"The Freak5 is - hands down - the best suit I’ve ever flown. It’s a significant improvement in the speed department (this suit is FAST!), but it also still breaks down well for flying with a variety of suit sizes and skill levels. The transitions are intuitive and smooth, it flies steep with less effort, and it’s overall more responsive and fun to fly in every way. I wouldn’t change a thing, this suit is the perfect all-around dropzone suit."
-Ashlee Richman
"What an incredible improvement! Transitioning from the ATC 2 to the Freak 5 has left me absolutely astonished. The precision and performance this wingsuit offers is truly remarkable. Perhaps it's just me, but the monochamber design is nothing short of incredible. The way this suit inflates with lightning speed is a game-changer.
One of the standout features for me is how seamlessly it handles transitions. It's as if I'm effortlessly gliding through the air, and the flares are nothing short of epic. I feel like a superhero in this wingsuit.
Squirrel nailed the custom design, and my Freak 5 is exactly how I envisioned it. Performance-wise, I can now keep up with the rest of the group in flocks, a stark contrast to my ATC 2, where I was always lagging behind, even when pinned out.
The fit is perfect, and I provided specific dimensions and my ATC 2's serial number for reference.
I have a deep appreciation for my ATC 2 and the memories it created in both skydiving and base jumping. However, the Freak 5 represents a significant leap forward. I was anxious if it would feel like a large step up, especially on the first jump out of the plane. But, after exiting, I immediately noticed the increased power and precision this wingsuit offers.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire Squirrel team for their unwavering dedication to research and development. You've truly provided us with top-tier equipment that has taken the wingsuit experience to a whole new level.
I've attached a few photos to showcase the awesomeness of the Freak 5."

"The powerhouse Freak’s fifth generation. What to say… Backflying is very easy. Transitions even more so, the pull…whooa!! - feels like you don’t have any suit at all! And flare power takes you all the way up to high five the Almighty!
Everything else like build quality, materials, overall fit - top notch! Just as you’d expect from Squirrel.
By far the most fun suit money can buy!"
-Marek Skowron
"Wow! The Freak got even better! The mono chamber changed the game for wingsuits, and this suit ups it to another level. I’m looking forward to becoming intimately familiar with this gorgeous girl! Best back flying suit I have ever flown!”
I think that sums up my feelings! Thank you again!
