Has anyone jumped it yet?
Would they please share their experience on line?

I saw prototype in Empuria. Biggest change I noticed was huge back deflector (S3 style).

I believe that there some incremental improvements over what was the M2. More of an evolution based on the customer input.

I noticed a bigger crotch inlet over the standard. Some of the newer suits have a bigger back deflector than before . I heard that the leg zippers have been moved to the outside seam like the other wingsuits instead of the old front quartering inside seam found on most mono-wingsuits, which sometimes could be a pain for less flexible jumpers under canopy.

Some of the mods that I've done to mine just for ease of use: I've inverted the back zippers ( s-fly style) making it easier to mate to the rig. I've lowered the Euro style collar ( personal preference). And changed the leg wing trailing edge binding to a tape instead of the original elastic found on the M2. I'm hoping to give the leg wing tension without having the elastic add rebound to any oscilation. This last mod is untested and I'm hoping that I haven't compounded the ocasional flutter that some people get that has led to the increase in the crotch inlet design.

I'm looking forward to any pictures, information and flyer feedback on Matter wingsuit improvements myself.

I mean it's not just inflatable pillow. It's kind of wing with trailing edge.

When cedric first gave me the info for this press release I was told the name had changed to the "MTR WINGSUIT" -- afterwards I was told it was actually going to change to MTR3.

You can see on the MTR2 equipment page here what the mtr2 style rear air deflector looks like.

Cedric is supposed to be sending me one to evaluate.

Pictures of the new rear air deflector are on the press release.
