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 a Carbon Aero Jack 

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.
