STRIX ’25
The Strix has been designed as an all rounder and the perfect first ‘big’ suit. It balances ease of use with a significant step up in performance from the smaller suits in our range. It will be best put to use by jumpers who have extensive experience in a Havok and who have a solid understanding of the basics. If you are comfortable throwing your Havok around the sky and are now looking for the increased speed, flare and glide that comes with more surface area, then Strix is for you.
For 2025 we have made the Strix into the easiest big suit we can, providing jumpers who are ready to fly it with a stress free experience. We have removed air locks as standard, which has made the transitions and all forms of acro more accessible than ever before for any suit in this class. The removal of air locks as standard and the addition of a tailored armwing sleeve have resulted in an even easier pull with unobstructed access to the pilot chute.
Whether skydiving or BASE jumping, if you are looking to progress to our larger suits then Strix is an important stepping stone and not to be overlooked as it allows the jumper to refine their skills and learn how to fly big suits. It features great performance, excellent stability, high dynamic range for formation flying, a good start arc for BASE exits, an impressive flare, easy pull and great overall acro ability.
For the BASE jumpers specifically, with increased performance comes increased problems. We firmly believe that jumpers who put the work at each step come out the strongest and safest flyers. If you are wanting to fly big suits in the mountains then time put in with a Strix will prepare you very well for the larger suits in our range. It will allow you to gain a deeper understanding of flying relative to terrain, and in the mountains in general, whilst enjoying easy mobility on the exit point, easy exits, easy flight characteristics and easy deployments.
For those looking to dial it up, air locks are still offered as an add on. The result is increased pressurization and performance with the subsequent increased required pilot ability! For jumpers who are unsure if they are ready for this/want this or not, we also offer adjustable inlets where the airlocks are removable.
We recommend a minimum of 50 skydives on a smaller suit before putting the Strix 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.
Thank you for being part of our journey in Human Flight Innovations, since 2004.
