SHADOW ’25

The Shadow is a best in class wingsuit designed specifically for progression, whether this is for your first flights, formation flying, acro, head down carving or even your first wingsuit BASE jumps. The Shadow’s legacy is unmatched stability and ease of use. It is the best tool on the market for learning the basics.

Experience has shown that beginners have a tendency to overuse grippers, preventing them from flying the suit and giving instability. We feel that learning to fly first with a gripperless design will encourage pilots to use their entire body, feel the air and ultimately become stronger flyers.

With the 2025 edition we have listened to feedback from our coaches and customers, dialing the Shadow back to its roots by removing airlocks as a standard feature. This, combined with its trademark no gripper, curved armwing design, high arm sweep and small wing size result in a suit which is incredibly easy to fly. The pull is effortless and the flight characteristics smooth. For BASE jumpers with aspirations of wingsuiting. The Shadow has effortless exits, flight characteristics and deployments. Until you are comfortable with the basics, a small suit and a big wall make for a wise choice.

The Shadow is an entry level suit, we recommend a minimum of 150 skydives and ground briefing from a suitably qualified coach before putting one on. This is not a magic number and everybody learns at different speeds. Talk to us, or to a coach if you have any doubt! Designing and building human flight innovations is our passion and we love to cater for the individual needs of our customers. We’ve customised suits for highly specialised alpine projects, to fly with electric propulsion systems, jet engines and aerofoils… if you have a bespoke request in mind then talk to us and lets make it happen!

Custom printing any image across the entire suit is possible. Anything you can dream up, our friends at Torpedo Printing will help bring your design to life. Custom print adds no extra weight or bulk.

All our suits are constructed in Europe, by a small team right here at the Phoenix Fly Factory. They are made to an extremely high standard, the highest available on the market today. We use only the best materials, double stitching and quality control throughout our entire production line to bring you the suits you need.
