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.
