If you’re into extreme sports like me you will definitely appreciate this new product because it’s about as extreme as it gets! Having skydived several times before I know first hand that when jumping one can reach a terminal velocity between 180 and 225 km/h, but wearing a wingsuit creates lift, therefore, velocities of 60 - 95 km/h are more typical.
The Vampire 2 wingsuit is a uniquely designed jumpsuit for use in skydiving and base-jumping that shapes the human body into an airfoil. It touts new shoulder inlet technology that offers faster inflation and better pressurization of the arm wings. It also comes with refined arm wing design, optimized rib layout and cleaner wing surface for better performance. The V-2 offers the best performance available, permitting longer flights, both in terms distance and freefall time.
Cool.
