You won t have any troubles or big difference of durability,inflation, access to pc with the recent Tonysuit, Sfly, PhoenixFly or Squirrel products.

People who buyed an Hatch probably never jumped a Phantom and vice versa. Some people will have better feeling in one and other in the other. Some are great immediatly but don t have a lot to offer after that and other take time to give all they have to give (but can be better after that). You ll probably sell it before flying it at his best so... And in fact it s almost impossible to try each ws. Nobody can tell for you. So buy the one you like the most.

And the prodigy2?

I ordered an Havok Carve for a friend: 8 weeks (with PF closed 1 weeks for Christmas)

I want names!!!

Lot of my friends who flew C1 was quite disapointed by it. Not about the perf, it fly good but most of them didn t like the handling and feeling. Can t say more because i didn t fly it myself but most of them have changed now for an Aura and they definitly like it way more, say it s way more easy to fly, better handling, better perf (and less "unpredictable" move). I don t know what ws you fly now but saying C1 is good to enter in "big ws" is maybe too much because it s already one of the biggest on the market. And about resale i m not sure people are still looking after this one in 2 years. And last personnal pov, if you only skydive, this kind of suit are quite useless, stay on Funk, Havok Carve, Hawk, Rb2, etc, way more fun ;)

If only it was true... PS: One of the guy in Aura is french too

It s a new guy who is in charge now since Sfly became Sfly Equipement. Zun is still there but it s more Antoine who develop the new one. LJA stopped to jump after a speed flying or riding accident but some told me he jump again. I can t confirm that myself. Core was not a great wingsuit, only Fred and Vince was able to flew it. I m not a big fan of the old line but the new big one seems to fly great, at least like an Aura with better start from what i heard/saw. It was just to put another brand in the "battle", i m a PF "fan boy" anyway :)

I m surprised by your result because i fly now a Vrace and i flew some times with 3 different people in Aura, skydive and / or base, and each times i had both vertical and horizontal range on them.

All squirrel fan boys will sell their Aura anyway when the new SFly prototype will be out... Brand war will grow!!!

Hi. I finally flew my Vampire Race a few times both in skydive and base. I came from a V4. The suit is full option, pocket in the butt and in the legs, cameroon material, fins, base soles, belly hole for cam. The sizing is perfect, the quality too. I had to wait longer than expected but for a new model it s not unusual. The inside/outside mode is ok, you can have the trouble of inside handle only if you do it badly. The longer leg zip allow you to gear up stand up easily than before. First flight from the plane: fast and "easy"(for me coming from V4). Strong inflation in the wings. Turn was quick easy and under control even really sharp one. No slide like with some big suit. Pull is easy, nothing in the way of the pc. You need to slow down before pulling if you don t want to break yourself. You can reach the elevator unzipped if needed. But for me this kind of suit is useless in skydiving, i keep my Havok for that. Base jump: like a V4, with more power. I did conservative jump in places i already jumped a lot of time. I immediatly did better flight than my best in V4. Agility and precision are at least as good than a V4 with more glide and speed. Pull is easy. I feel like i m in my V4 but with way better skills So for me, after a V4/5 it s really a good choice. But it s a way bigger suit than a V5 so definitly not a good choice after student suit

Ralfnator: "Smart Phone Chest Pockets Standard dual chest pockets for stashing of (smart)phone and other misc items. Available on our range of small/intermediate suits. On Vampire Race and Venom Power only when ordered with BASE only harness, as dual zipper setup doesn’t allow for pocket placement."

1min30 flying on belly? Maybe he should try to open both arms and legs

Boobs!!!

For something which "doesn t work" just take a look at the last races like WWL, RBTG and PR and you ll see that Vampire are closely following Jedei/ Apache with a much smaller size. And take a look at the N4S video and let me know where you can see as sharp and quick turn in other brand video. But if it don t work for you, just find something easier to handle...

Don t forget SFly Hawk and Intrudair Baracuda

Even with trying the two you re not sure to "see" which one is better, even for yourself. Some suit are hard to handle at first but have a lot of perf after some jumps, other let you fly well at first but without progression after. Buy the sexiest one...

Gorilla Worx use it too... With a bigger hole...

For long there re no really other wingsuit in the Vampire categorie. Now the Intrudair Shark2, Tonysuit Scorpion and the Squirrel Colugo2 enter in this "little big wingsuit categorie" but none match, until proof, the agility and "knife" feeling of the Vampire. Why? Maybe this hole(with some other stuff). Why not in other brand? Maybe it ll be definitly to seeing "copy". Why not on the other PF suit? Maybe because this "more agility" cost a little high end gliding and other PF wingsuit aim other goal. Jarno wrote it somewhere else, VRace more agility, little less glide; VPower more glide, little less agility. And why Phantom or Ghost series don t have it? Just because it s not really good for backflying

PF zipper complicated? Seriously, it take 20 sec to put or remove your rig. Try an old birdman once for a day ws/ff you ll see what is "complicated"

Cheveux is a flying god, slick or with ts. The Cruise is a high performance suit only for the very good and experienced jumpers.

I just tried an Aura this week end. The Aura seamed to me slower and less stable. I had some slide too. For me the Venom was definitly easier to fly. As i said, it s probably because i m flying mostly PF ws so with almost the same "way of flying it". Just my opinion after a really few number of skydive with it

You can keep your Havok all your wingsuiter "life" that s why. What is the first reason people sell their ws? For ordering a bigger one... And nobody need bigger suit in skydive because it s quite useless, except if you love long belly flight alone...

It s agile and don t fell "heavy" for me. It s pressurised and you feel inside the wing, it s not like a V4 for example. It want to fly fast and far. I just did 4 jump so i don t pushed it to is limit for sure. The "Flare" is really good. Side by side with my friend i finished at least 5 meters above. The point is it s the only big suit i flew with so i can t compare for agility and the rest. I can just say that, for intermediate flyer like my friend and me the performance of the Venom Power it s quite similar to the Aura and probably a little better (so far away from the previous Venom)
