United StatesFit, look and functionality!
The shorts of course look great, the fit is PERFECT - they don't sag when the rig is not on, and they are not extremely tight when the rig is on - so they are suuuuper comfortable. The phone pocket is also spacious for once, enough room for your phone, Airpods case and a couple rubber bands/pull up cords. But the RDS pocket might be the biggest I have ever seen, with a nice wide opening. I'm sure it's going to make full RDS stowage a lot easier and cleaner!
Great swoop shorts
I love my new Viper swoop shorts. The fit is great and they feel like they will never tear! I love the RDS pocket, it's perfect size and the elastic is solid. I love to angle fly and this RDS pocket does not catch air, even when going fast. Unlike other swoop shorts where the RDS pocket just grabs air. I had an extra pocket put on the front leg for my phone, which is perfect. Also added a hook knife pocket. Even though that was not an option in the order form, Vertical just made it happen. It's exactly what I wanted.
ThailandTop notch
I absolutely love these shorts. Super comfy, they look great and they last forever! Best swoop shorts out there! I just received my second identical pair after retiring my first which I used for nearly 3,000 skydives and put them through hell...sand, dirt, saltwater, tandems...

Just received my Viper Swoop shorts. The fit was perfect! Sandy was quick to respond when I inquired about the status of my order.
United StatesVertical is the Best!
Wonder. Sandra was so helpful during the whole process. I can’t wait to work with Vertical again. My suit fits perfectly and my swoop shorts are perfect as well!
Love these shorts!
Picked a set of these shorts up from Vlad at the vertical booth at Kamloops May Meet. Straight off the rack. Fit great, look awesome, and you can’t beat the quality and customer service. You guys are awesome! Can’t wait for my Viper Pro suit!
Best swoop shorts
Vertical was a pleasure to deal with. They were patient while I sent them material to make my swoop shorts! They came out fantastic! Thanks Vertical!
Above and beyond!
The team at Vertical are top notch! Kept me in the loop through every step of my shorts being made. I couldn't be happier with the look, fit, and durability of these shorts. Vertical doesn't just set the standard, they far exceed it!
Horrible fit and poor customer support
Pretty bad. The fit was horrible(yes, I measured accurately) swoop shorts are so tight(ordered med fit) I can barely get them on, and they have taken 2-3 weeks to respond to my emails and after having them for almost 4 months there’s still no plan to resolve my order. Buyer beware.
Vertical Suits
The customer fails to say that he wanted to wait before loosing all his Holiday weight before sending in new measurements. This has delayed the process. We are taking care of him, as we always do :)
Viper swoop pants
