FEATURES
NEW VALVE INLETS
We have changed the way the our 3D inlet functions, improving pressure retention and handling with a more evenly pressurized feel.
SEAMLESS LEADING EDGE
Our proprietary leading edge Glide Skin now wraps more of the forward wing chord.
RAD
Clean Pulls: The flexible 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
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.
MORE POCKETS
More pockets! More snack-holes! Every Squirrel wingsuit gets an inside-arm pocket for sunglasses, a phone, your FlySight, or anything you want to hide from the rest of the world.
NEW NUTSACK
Don't be fooled by the shallow depth of this nutsack - it actually holds a lot of equipment. The new nutsack is a flexible hammock which allows more storage and also keeps items higher & closer to your CG.
LIGHT RIBS
Lightweight sail-cloth ribs are mechanically stable and reduce overall weight and pack volume.
ONE-ZIP ATTACHMENT
The new One-Zip system is durable and simple to rig. It's cable free, protects the zippers from being damaged by harness laterals, and it attaches to your rig in seconds.
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. This mold is the only custom wingsuit sole ever created and is the highest performance option available.
HOOK KNIFE
Our sturdy double-blade hook knife fits into a secure pocket on the front of the leg. It's light, strong, and easy to grab.
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
It's the perfect first suit. The SWIFT 5 offers the highest agility, performance, and ease of use for pilots in the beginner-intermediate category.
The latest iteration benefits from drag reductions in several locations including the inlet design. The planform is focused on a balance between aspect ratio and near-CG surface area. Arm wing surface area is concentrated closer to the body for stability, with a large root chord. The added surface at the wing root increases roll stability by supporting the pilot’s CG and hips.
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 MATERIALS
GlideSkin is an aerodynamic and wrinkle-resistant material that features a fine grain that is aligned with the relative wind.
INTERNAL RIBS
All ribs are constructed from lightweight sail cloth, chosen for its ideal stability-to-weight ratio.
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.
SWIFT SERIES REVIEWS
"I put 125 flights on my Swift 4 over the past 11 months and plan to keep it forever. It’s just so fun to fly, has fantastic range and recovers quickly from minor and major mistakes during the learning process. I began flying in a Sprint during my First Flight Course w/ Dan Darby at Arcus Flight and quickly transitioned to my Swift after five flights. It has been such a great platform to learn basic performance flying, flocking, back flying, heli-jumps and I was even lucky enough to be part of the Tennessee State Wingsuit Formation Record of 14! Further, I’ve flocked with Sumos, other Swifts, ATCs, Freaks and even a Corvid! Overall, it’s a very versatile suit that enabled me to learn to fly it’s entire performance envelope."
