Description
The Fluid Wings Prime is a hybrid-construction 9-cell canopy designed to deliver smooth openings, impressive glide performance, and intuitive handling in a wing that’s both easy and fun to fly. Built with intermediate jumpers in mind – yet approachable for novices when lightly loaded – the Prime offers a stress-free transition into modern canopy performance.
Its hybrid fabric construction reduces pack volume while maintaining structural integrity and durability. The Prime inflates with a short, progressive snivel and requires minimal pilot input for clean, on-heading openings, making it especially well suited for wingsuiting and everyday jumping.
Responsive controls, progressive input range, and strong flare performance allow pilots to refine technique and fly with confidence. The wing dives efficiently yet recovers quickly, while its excellent glide and low descent rate help ensure consistent, comfortable landings.
