MYLAR
LEG WING ZIPPER PULLS
HOOK KNIFE
The mylar at your leading edge will become creased
and worn over time. Wrinkling and creasing of this
material is normal and will not negatively affect your
flight. You should, however, take care to minimize the
creasing by packing your suit with care.
Always fasten your leg wing zipper pulls. If you walk
around with them dragging on the ground, you will ruin
them. If your suit is on, have the zipper pulls connected.
Do not drag them through the dirt.
Every suit comes standard with an aluminum double
bladed hook knife. Check to make sure that the hook
knife is loaded properly and secured.
NUTSACK
Don’t overload your nutsack, it’s made for your stuff-sack
and not much heavier. Adding a lot of heavy equipment
or even too much food or water will change your center
of gravity and could possibly affect your flight in a
negative way.
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. Always fully shade-dry your suit if it becomes wet or damp. Gently rinse with 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.
CHEST POCKET USE
Please note that the chest pocket and belly-cam zips
are independent. If you place your phone in the pocket,
please ensure that you place it all the way inside the
phone pocket shown here. If you just slide it into the first
outside zipper, the phone will not be secure.
