MYLAR
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.
ARM FOAM OPTIONS
Your AURA 3 is shipped with 5mm black foam, which is inserted in the arms. Also included is a pair
of airfoil cross-sections that may be used for performance flying.
NO Foam:
Recommended for BASE jumping. For your first BASE jumps, and perhaps all BASE jumps in your
AURA 3, we recommend removing all leading-edge foam. This will allow you the easiest BOC
access, and the best chances of reaching your risers and toggles.
5mm Black Foam:
Recommended for Skydiving. The 5mm black foam helps to smooth out the leading edge of your
wingsuit. It is only moderately restrictive during the pull and riser access.
Airfoil Foam:
The removable airfoil cross section foam should only be used once you feel confident in the AURA 3
at all angles and in all modes of flight, and only for skydiving. We do not recommend BASE jumping
with the airfoil cross section foam inside the suit, as it reduces comfort and range of motion during
deployment. With the foam installed in the suit, the arms will fit snugly.
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.
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. If your suit is on, have the zipper
pulls connected. Do not drag them through
the dirt.
