We recommend PRO (Proper Ram-air Orientation)
packing your Epicene. For wingsuit deployments,
it is not necessary to roll the nose or dress it in any
special manner. Consistent with normal PRO packing
technique bring lines to the center of the pack job with
folds neat and symmetrical.
Lay the pack job down on the ground as per standard
PRO packing technique. Thanks to the ultra-light
material, this part will be much easier than you’re used
to! Remember to leave some open space where the tail
wraps around the line group. Do not tightly wrap the
tail at this section.
Bring the trailing edge (tail) around the pack job. For
wingsuit deployments, do not roll the tail tightly around
the pack job. One or two simple folds, well below the
line group, is adequate. Please note that the trailing edge
is only folded slightly at the lower (the packer’s right)
hand. At the line group, there is plenty of “open” tail.
Reduce the pack job volume in preparation for d-bag
placement. For wingsuit deployments, remember to
leave the tail section open enough to allow airflow in
during extraction.

1. Airspeed at opening:
the single most important factor for hard openings is airspeed at
opening. When using the EPICENE, hard openings are normally caused by too much
airspeed. Moderate your speed at deployment.
2. Equipment:
check pilot chute size, d-bag type, slider size.
3. Packing technique:
check slider positioning, nose packing method, line stowage. Seek
assistance and guidance from professional packers and riggers with wingsuiting experience.
