Arcteryx wing-suits

Recommended Posts

Has anyone else jumped the new suits from Arteryx?

Mine only arrived on Friday, and I only got to jump it once off of Tree Top, Sunday morning.
Fortunately, I got to stomp around the house in it all day Saturday, so my pecs were warmed up and I got a full charge on the air bladders.\
I jumped it off the West balcony Sunday morning as the gospel choir was warming up. Took me a couple of seconds to find the suit's memory of its best glide angle. I swooped the length of the football pitch, then started pumping with my legs, just before I slid face-first into the grass, the air bladders kicked in and I got some serious flapping going. With lots of huffing and puffing, I stalled onto the balcony railing just before my pecs gave out.
Awesome first flight!\
Arcteryx makes even better wing-suits than rain-coats.
