The PF Vampire V-1 wingsuit features:

• A revolutionary CAD-designed 3D arm wing
• Semi-rigid plastic ribs inside the arm and leg wings
• Newly designed leg wing leading edge
• Advanced leg wing design with increased surface area
• Increased back deflector size
• Integrated arm wing sleeve design
• Redesigned wingtip grips
• Adjustable arm tension swoop cords
• New low-drag materials
• New wing release handles

For skydivers, the V-1 will enable you to fly further, faster, hang out in the clouds longer, with more controllable flocking dives flown in tighter formations.

For wingsuit BASE jumpers, the V-1 is the ultimate choice, offering the best performance available and permitting longer flights, both in distance and delay.

The V-1 is not an “off the shelf” product, but rather a tailor-made suit designed to fit exact flyer measurements. Each suit is unique and customized to fit your body, which maximizes comfort and performance.

Price: 990 Euro or 1,250 USD

With new revolutionary design, low-drag materials, custom-tailoring and higher performance, many people might wonder how the Vampire V-1 can be priced comparably to other wingsuits. Is this too good to be true? Absolutely not! Because of streamlined option offerings and scaled-down color selection, manufacturing complexity is greatly reduced. In addition, Phoenix-Fly’s overhead and operating costs have been simplified – a savings that is passed directly to our customers.

The V-1 will be available beginning December 1, 2004 and order forms will be available on www.phoenix-fly.com from November 30.

Note on lead times: During the initial launch phase of the V-1, Phoenix-Fly will be faced with the challenge of trying to keep up with demand. As observed with the initial launch of the PF Pants and Jackets, lead times may be up to 8-10 weeks, during which we will endeavour to keep you updated on status. Once order volume has stabilized, we’re aiming for a 6-8 week lead time. We ask for your patience during this time and promise that you will be rewarded with an exceptional state-of-the-art wingsuit that far surpasses anything that you’ve ever flown.
