HATCHing a GREAT Idea

Visit Us

The designers of the Hatch talk about its construction, with lots of aerial video showing how manoeuvrable this suit is, and how much fun

The Hatch is a versatile suit that is ideal for absolute beginners, yet provides endless fun for even the most expert acro pilots and freeflyers.

#Fun

The Hatch exemplifies the philosophy that fun = easy, and easy = fun. The designers commented, “The new Hatch is the easiest and most comfortable suit that we have ever flown… we love seeing students tear up the skies on their first flights in this suit as much as we enjoy backflying and cloud-carving with it, ourselves.”

We’re excited about it and so far it has been very well received by some of the most experienced wingsuit instructors in the sport

##Safety

The Hatch retains all of the safety and performance features that Squirrel suits have become renowned for, including the RAD system, tri-layer leading edge construction, innie-outie zips, and reinforced inlets. Thanks to the RAD system, the Hatch requires no cutaway cables and allows direct access to your risers and brakes during and after deployment. This is a critical safety feature that no wingsuit should be without.

The Hatch leading edge construction is Squirrel’s signature blend of comfort and performance, with a smooth surface in positions of best glide, and unparalleled comfort and access at pull-time.

##Not just for beginners

Although it is possibly the easiest wingsuit out there, the Hatch is not just a beginner suit. It’s fun, agile, and versatile. More experienced wingsuit pilots searching for a low-surface area suit for backflying, acrobatics, angle flying, and flocking applications will love the range and comfort of the Hatch. For pilots and instructors who are searching for the absolute maximum in ease of use for their first jumps and beyond, the Hatch could be the answer.
