Configure Your UPT Vector 3

Otherwise known as hip rings, VGH allows articulation in the hip joints. Overall, for any style of flying, whether it be wingsuiting, free flying, or FS, hip articulation helps to give you more mobility.

These low bulk leg pads allow for more comfort and mobility around all of the extra material of a wingsuit.

Low bulk with no spacer foam means minimal padding helps the rig lay as flat as possible against the jumper’s back, maximizing the aerodynamic performance. Further, the cordura (rather than 3D spacer foam), protects against wear from the suit/zippers/etc.

Also an option Vector WS pilots suggest if the jumper prefers to have some padding. Note: if you select Babylon backpad, the laterals will be cut-in slightly on the edges of the lumbar piece instead of outboard, as comes standard with this option.

These are built from the edges of the container, like UPT’s standard laterals are, however without the rigid piece. The cordura provides an extra layer of protection for the webbing when rubbing against the suit.

An adjustment to the leg straps that effectively moves the leg strap hardware (friction adapters) 2″ farther up your hip. The benefit is that the hardware is no longer crowded between your legs when you tighten your leg straps all the way. Keep in mind this moves the hook knife location to the back of the leg straps — but for wingsuiting, you will want an alternate hook knife location anyway.

Highly recommended for wingsuit flying. Deploys your reserve in ~0.5 seconds using your departing main as a “super pilot chute”. Critical for safe wingsuit operations with over 1,600 real-world emergency deployments recorded.
