🥉 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BRONZE FOR JOE MANN! 🇬🇧
Three runs. All within five hundredths of a second. A World Championship bronze.
Huge congratulations to Vertex-sponsored athlete Joe Mann on taking third in Speed at the 2026 FAI World Canopy Piloting Championships in Arizona!
Joe competed in our newly launched Vertex Speed Shorts—bringing advanced fabrics developed for tunnel suits to competitive swooping, with a low-drag fit and freedom of movement. A fitting way to mark their launch, and a proud moment for us to see them worn on the world stage.
What a result, Joe. We’re proud to support you! 🇬🇧
