The Super NutSack
This is made to carry your stuffsack, and not much more. 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. The Super NutSack is
long, but can be adjusted in length so that you can position the load where you
want. Tighten or loosen the lengthwise strap to raise or lower the load inside
the leg wing. Positioning a heavy nutsack load directly on top of the leg wing
inlets is not advised.
Mylar
The Mylar material 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.
Leg Wing Zipper Pulls
Always fasten your leg wing zipper pulls! If you walk around with them
dragging on the ground, you will ruin them and it will be your fault. This is very
simple: If your suit is on, have the zipper pulls connected. Do not drag them
through the dirt.
Arm and Leg Wing Zippers
Arm and leg wing internal access zippers should remain closed at all times for
best performance. It is acceptable to leave the arm wing zippers partially open
to decrease arm wing internal pressure if you desire – please do this only after
consulting with your instructor. Jumping with these zips open or partially open
will affect the flight characteristics of the suit. Always be sure to close your leg
wing zipper after accessing your nutsack! Make zipper-checks a part of your
pre-flight checklist.
Innie-Outie Zip System
For BASE mode, you have the option of zipping the front
of your harness system inside the suit: place the shoulders
of your harness inside the front of the suit as shown. For
Skydiving, you MUST jump your harness / handles outside
the front of your suit. Zip the front of the suit behind your
shoulder straps as shown.

Chest Strap Width In BASE Mode
Serious damage to the zipper system can occur if you do not have your chest strap adjusted
properly: for example, too loose. This, combined with a hard opening, will over-stress the flexible
system and WILL DAMAGE the skydiving (front) zippers. You MUST keep your chest strap properly
adjusted, and you MUST learn to moderate your openings using proper equipment and technique. If
you are wingsuit BASE jumping, then you should know how to tune your equipment and your flight to
have consistently quick but reasonable openings. If you are getting slammed on every deployment,
you are doing something wrong. Please feel free to ask us for custom advice on this, if it is needed.
Brummel Hook Zipper Anchor
The Brummel hook protector is meant to help preserve zipper integrity when the suit
is jumped in BASE mode. When in BASE mode, connect the hooks together. This
will help to keep some of the forces off of the zippers in the event of a hard opening.
