ncfitzge 0 #1 December 8, 2005 I'm currently looking for a new suit and I would like to know what brand and type you guys use. I mainly have been doing FF but I want to get more into RW. With my current suit, when I try to sitfly my legs fill up with air making it harder to hold if not flip over. Pretty much I'm looking for a suit that I can do RW, FF and still be strong for when I crash...#148 Sonic Scrat "Have you ever kissed a rabbit between the eyes?"

skybytch 273 #2 December 8, 2005 I have three Flite Suit RW suits, a Bomber freefly suit and a pair of Bomber freefly pants. I've also owned and jumped Firefly and Tony Suit jumpsuits and BirdMan Pantz in the past. As far as quality and durability go, I'd buy from any of them again. That doesn't mean that those are the "best" suits though. I think every manufacturer out there tries to build a quality product. Some other things to consider - what suits do the majority of people at your home dz jump? Ask around, there may be a reason. Is there a dealer for any mfrs near you? Having a dealer measure you is a good idea as they should know how to do it correctly. Is there a jumpsuit mfr near you? Makes it easier and faster to have adjustments and/or repairs done if there is. Are you in a hurry? Some mfrs offer rushes in as fast as 2 weeks.

Order an RW suit and have some of the excess bag in the legs of your current freefly suit taken in. If you aren't a big guy and want to do more than zoo load RW, you need a dedicated RW suit.

kenneth21441 0 #3 December 8, 2005 I personally design and make my own suit. Ive got at least three that I use for RW, to doing photography. Im now working on a wing suit for slowing my fall ratio to that of the lightest Tandem.... See your rigger who might beable to make a custom suit for you to your liking..

bob.dino 1 #5 December 9, 2005 As the bytch says, doing RW in a FF suit is pretty much a waste of time. Dress for success! If you'll only occasionally be doing RW, pick up a second-hand suit and save your dollars for a nice FF suit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
velocity-96 0 #6 December 9, 2005 liquid sky has the nicest suits aout there. they are pricey but worth every penny. i think they are way nicer than ouergan, and ouregan's customer service is horrible! they are too busy to answer 3 emails about buying one. imagine a company that wont even write you back when your ready to buy. im totaly turned off by their attitude. i vote with my dollars.
