USE, CARE AND FEEDING OF YOUR SQUIRREL
ZIPPER BUNGEES
The bungees that hold the zippers tight to the main lift webbing (MLW) of your harness must always
be connected.
DO NOT
jump your suit without the zipper bungees set tightly around your harness
MLW. Securing the bungees on the inside of the MLW usually results in the zippers being closer,
and the hole being smaller.
NOTE:
If you think that the zipper system is not functioning well with your skydive harness (i.e. your emergency
handles are not always 100% accessible), please contact us immediately before your next jump. You
may need to modify the zippers so that the sliders stay locked in place, as per the information at this URL:

HOOK KNIFE
Every suit comes standard with an aluminum handle double blade hook
knife installed on the front of the suit. Check to make sure that the hook knife
is loaded properly on every jump.
CHEST POCKET USE
Please note that the chest pocket and belly-cam zips are independent. The
chest pocket is velcro-closed so that if you are using the belly-cam pass-
through hole then your phone remains secure in the pocket. Ensure that
you place your phone or belongings all the way inside the actual phone
pocket -- don’t just drop it inside your suit ;-)
Keep zippers close against MLW webbing.
Handles completely exposed.
Zippers tight against MLW.
