Hook Knife
Every suit comes standard with a Carbon Aero Jack hook knife installed on the
front of the suit, in a location that is ideal for jumping your wingsuit with your
BASE harness inside the suit, in BASE mode. Check to make sure that the hook
knife is loaded properly and the snap is secured.
When skydiving, please make sure that the hook knife does not interfere with
your skydiving reserve handle and remove the knife if necessary. If you have
any questions please consult your rigger to ensure proper operation of your
emergency handles.
Sleeping and Bathing Your Squirrel
Don’t smother your Squirrel! When it’s hibernating, it likes to breathe and relax in a cool, dry,
comfortable nest. Do not store your suit for long periods of time in a tightly folded or compressed
manner! Doing so will result in the deformation of your inlets. Always fully shade-dry your suit if it
becomes wet or damp. Gently rinse with non-chlorinated fresh water to clean, or if ever exposed
to salt water. Never use chemical detergents – Squirrels like it all natural, all the time!
Your suit can be hand washed in cold water, or machine
washed cold on a gentle cycle. Never tumble dry your
suit. Hang dry in the shade.
