3D COMPRESSION INLET
USE, CARE, AND FEEDING OF YOUR SQUIRREL
The 3D Compression Inlet is an advanced and effective innovation,
however it does require some care and maintenance. 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 re-form them.
AIRFOIL CROSS-SECTION (“ARM FOAM”) OPTIONS
5mm Sheet Foam:
Your suit is shipped with this foam inserted in the arms. This is a comfortable mid-performance option.
You can remove it and jump the suit without any foam in the arms if you wish to have a maximum of
comfort and arm movement / range for BOC and riser access. The sheet foam does improve glide
and speed performance by increasing structure in the leading edge. Without the foam, the suit is
generally easier to fly.
Optional Freestyle Airfoil Cross Section:
If you chose to purchase Freestyle Foam with your F3, then you must remove the 5mm sheet foam
before inserting the cross section. Never jump the suit with both inserted.
The Freestyle Foam adds a significant amount of power and performance to the suit, but does slightly
reduce range of motion.
