dharma1976 0 #2 January 21, 2006 well if you like your zipper to stay on and work buy a tony suit...http://www.skyjunky.com CSpenceFLY - I can't believe the number of people willing to bet their life on someone else doing the right thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFFI 0 #3 January 21, 2006 Some say nekkid but I just cannot grasp it... Havent seen a team yet at the Nationals in the raw. On my belly I like the Tony but that is all I know. Camera suits - I have had different types, FF is my choice for flyability and durability and the same goes for freeflying as well. If Firefly comes out with a belly suit next time I am ready to order I will probably give them a try with the bootie thing - they make great suits. I know GREAT skydiver freefall skill types in various types of suits, great guitarists on different types of guitars - just train HARD and be the best freefaller you can be - just remember to keep your priorities in order when you are hurling your body toward the earth at unsurvivable speeds, that is if you want to have an enjoyable aftrer jump evening...Mykel AFF-I10 Skydiving Priorities: 1) Open Canopy. 2) Land Safely. 3) Don’t hurt anyone. 4) Repeat… Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #4 January 21, 2006 Two very different things. Tony make good RW suits, Kurupee make cheap (not necessarily bad, although a lot of people have had bad experiences. mine has been fine so far but its starting to get tired with not many jumps on it, maybe 150 or so) freefly suits. Your tony suit should be a quality productNever try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trippin 0 #5 January 21, 2006 Ive only got 20 jumps on my krupee ff suit,seems pretty rugged to me. Its made out of the heavy cotton fab. good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
packerboy 3 #6 January 21, 2006 I got a very poorly made suit from Kurupee w/ mistakes on the options... they were then very happy to send me another poorly made suit w/ mistakes on the options. I have seen other Kurupee suits that were OK though. I bet your chances of getting a good suit are better with Tony Suits. -------------------------------------------------- In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock. ~ Thomas Jefferson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cHoDaBoY 0 #9 January 22, 2006 I have had 2 suits from krapee suits. Both broke and had bad zippers. If your are looking to save money then go with krapee, or better yet goto the fabric store and buy some material and get one of the local neighbour kids to assemble it, better quality and cheaper than krapee. I have freefly pants from Tony suits. Aesome pants. Couldnt ask for a better pant or customer service Tony suit all the way Q. Why do birds sing? A. Because they dont have to pack when they land Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vectracide 0 #10 January 23, 2006 Neither. Kurupee is total crap. You could get a better suit by buying a mechanics overalls and putting velcro on the cuffs. Tony is a good suit. No complaints. Ouragan suits are made better than any and every suit out there. In most every case, you will what you pay for. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....
