Freak 5 Wingsuit

Performance and Handling According to Squirrel, the Freak 5 builds on the Mono chamber design of its predecessor to provide a more solid feel while maintaining high agility.

Consistency: The suit is less sensitive to tension and angle of attack (AoA), offering a more stable feel in the arm wings.

Power and Pressure: It features improved pressure retention during maneuvers, giving the pilot more power for sharp turns, flares, and steep angle flying.

Versatility: It is considered a “dropzone suit” that can fly in formation with larger high-performance suits while remaining nimble enough for carving and freestyle.

Key Technical Features
Manufacturers at Squirrel highlight several specific design upgrades for this iteration:

MonoChamber Wing: A design that improves handling and transitions by feeding all parts of the arm and leg wings from every inlet.

Gen2 SymBlend Profile: Tuned for better performance during belly flying without compromising backflying speed or agility.

Airtight Zippers and Inlets: New reduced-drag inlets and airtight zippers contribute to better efficiency and speed.

Adjustable Internal Pressure: Pilots can choose between full pressure for maximum performance or reduced pressure for easier maneuvering during acro/freestyle flight.

User Experience and Expert Reviews
Reviewers on YouTube and Instagram describe the suit as highly responsive to micro-movements, making flying feel “effortless”.

Backflying: One major highlight is its speed and comfort during backflying, which allows for continuous transitions at high speeds.

Flare Power: The suit is noted for having significant “flare power,” an indicator of its overall efficiency and glide performance.

Grip Design: During development, Squirrel intentionally omitted carbon end-cell grippers to maintain the “classic Freak feel,” opting for a more familiar tactile experience for the pilot.
