phantom 3 or shadow for 95kg 6ft tall jumper

[tomhenry 0]

hi guys. like jo i need help choosing between the phantom 3 or shadow. i intend on doing acro and flocking as my mates do a bit of both. im 6ft tall and 95 kgs heavy. is one safer than the other or easier for deploying my chute or just easier to fly in general. i have no flight time yet and will be doing my first wingsuit course with which ever one i buy.

in terms of safety/pull time; they're identical. The P2 has grippers, the Shadow does not. However, both are suitable for getting started and use as a primary suit regardless of skill level.

I'm close to the same size, but I've never jumped a shadow. my p2 is a great suit however, and I'll buy another phantom before i buy a vampire ...

Whereabouts are you based? You've said 'mates' which makes me think either UK or Aus.

If it's UK, give me a shout and if you're anywhere near Sibson, pop in and i'll talk you through the suits.

I think P3 has a bit more wing area. I go for P3.

Phantom 3
Shadow 2

Alter between the two images, and you'll see that the difference is marginal. Performance-wise its mostly a different body position and slightly different inputs needed to fly (more suitable for acrobatics, but also easier for people not used to flying grippers, so more comparable to a normal tracking).

Either suit is a good choice, its just the tuning options...
