MagicGuy 0 #1 November 30, 2006 Just wondering what the typical turnaround time for a custom freefly suit from Ouragan takes, and what the suit cost you after customization. Thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apollard24 0 #2 November 30, 2006 Depends on how back logged they are. The turn around for my first suit was 2 months and 3 months for my second. I had special designs done on both of my suits and they were $700 Breathe out so I can breathe you in... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #3 November 30, 2006 Nancy's stuff is in super-high demand. Her suits are the absolute standard in my opinion and positively worth the price one pays for a full-on custom. Mine was nearly $600 two years ago. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had special designs done on both of my suits and they were $700 Ouch, rough. But man the suits do look sweet as hell. I've seen them in person and the quality is top notch. I want to put a custom logo on the suit, so I'm sure that will raise the price quite a bit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #6 December 1, 2006 QuoteJust wondering what the typical turnaround time for a custom freefly suit from Ouragan takes, They are extremely behind on their orders. I ordered a pair of Swoop pants on July 5th and have had the delivery date moved back on me twice. According to the last e-mail I received from them, they are now working on orders placed in June. I am told I will receive my order the 2nd week of December, making it just shy of 6 months from the time I ordered. My fingers are crossed but I am not holding my breath."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

idlewild70 0 #8 December 1, 2006 QuoteNO jumpsuit is worth $600+ dollars. Thats a little less then half of my new container. My 3 jumpsuits cost a little over that combined.-Fish Blue skies, Soft landings Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeForsythe 0 #9 December 1, 2006 QuoteNO jumpsuit is worth $600+ dollarsObviously there is since there is a six month wait to get one!Time and pressure will always show you who a person really is! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 December 1, 2006 QuoteAlso check out her website, they are opening a new place in Canada I think so they can keep up with the demand That is accurate. As a matter of fact Peter G was here last weekend and told me so. He does graphic design for Nancy now. She is moving her sewing operation to Canada and was/is still there nailing down everything. There will still be an office/repair facility in Deland though. Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CygnusX-1 43 #11 December 1, 2006 QuoteShe is moving her sewing operation to Canada and was/is still there nailing down everything. That's was. I just talked with Nancy yesterday (in person at DeLand). My suit that I ordered 6 weeks ago still has a lead time of 3-4 months. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,031 #12 December 1, 2006 >NO jumpsuit is worth $600+ dollars. One could claim that no container is worth $2200, and no main parachute is worth $2500 - but people still keep plunkin down the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skycat 0 #13 December 2, 2006 I ordered mine at the end of September and they said a 4 month wait time. We have asked them to contact us before they are ready to make it so we can take new measurements to ensure it fits right.Fly it like you stole it!

beezyshaw 0 #14 December 3, 2006 QuoteNO jumpsuit is worth $600+ dollars While it can be argued that something is "worth" what the market will bear, I tend to agree with JP on this. And if I'm not mistaken you can end up paying way more than $600 for the whole ball of wax options suit. Just to put this in perspective, a few years ago when I worked at Precision, I had a torn out knee in my $250 jumpsuit. I took it to our production manager to OK it with her for me to have one of our sewing machine operators repair it. I said something like, "I just hate to have a $250 jumpsuit with a ragged looking hole in the knee" to her, and she picked the suit up, turned it inside out, went over it from stem to stern, and said "you mean something like this costs $250? We're in the wrong business!" So, moral of the story is, in a professional's opinion, there is a whole lot more profit in jumpsuits than in canopy manufacture. Think about it, Tony was in the canopy business for several years, ever wonder why he went back to just building suits? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apollard24 0 #18 December 20, 2006 Damn that sucks! Guess I ordered my suits at the right time a year and a half ago. I did place an order for some Liquidsky freefly pants and only have to wait 8 weeks for them (and that was only because of the holidays).Breathe out so I can breathe you in...

I was told I'd have my order by the 2nd week of December after all of the other delivery date shifts. I still don't have my order and now I am told sometime after Christmas.

pre7117 0 #24 February 8, 2007 Update: I placed my order mid October and got an email today with a design. I made a few changes and I will have to wait for another design. They still have not told me how much they are going to charge me or when it might be done. It has already been 4 months and I dont think I will have it before April. I hope I get what I want.
