USE, CARE, AND FEEDING OF YOUR SQUIRREL
High Aspect Ratio Inlet
The new High Aspect Ratio Inlets on the front side of your suit require
some care. Try not to store your suit in a tightly packed configuration.
Do not store your suit folded tightly in hot conditions. For instance, the
worst thing that you could do would be to leave it crammed into your
stashbag in a hot car for a few hours. In the case of inlet deformation,
massaging them into shape at or above room temperature will help
to reform them.
Arm Foam Options
Your FREAK 3 is shipped with 5mm black foam, which is inserted in the arms. We recommend
starting with this foam option. The FREAK 3 may be jumped without this foam, but your leading
edge will appear less smooth, and be less efficient in flight.
THE ”FREESTYLE” AIRFOIL CROSS-SECTION
The optional “Freestyle” foam is recommended for experienced pilots. It is designed specifically
for the FREAK series. The Freestyle foam improves speed and glide performance, and makes
transitions feel more agile and precise. Adding in this enhanced leading-edge structure will slightly
change the BOC and Riser access. We do not recommend using it for BASE jumping, or in any
situation where a low deployment may occur.
