martinjmac 0 #1 November 9, 2009 I am looking for a FF suit with flat arm and leg grips. I want the best of both world in one suit basically. I found the Dragster from Rainbow Design which would be perfect but it is a bit pricey. http://www.rainbowsuits.com/en/jumpsuits/dragster-jump-suit.shtml Are there any other companies that make something similar?

skybytch 273 #2 November 9, 2009 AFAIK, every ff suit manufacturer can put grips on a suit. They are there not so you can do RW, but so you can do VRW. If you plan to do RW in a freefly suit, do yourself a favor and talk to the local belly fliers about it's suitability for doing RW with your body size/shape before you spend the money. Would really suck to buy it and then find out that you really need a slick RW suit to stay down with them. In the long run, you'll save money by buying the right tool for the job in the first place. In this case, that means (at least) one suit for RW and one suit for freeflying. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mgoldade 0 #4 November 9, 2009 Granted I'm a bit biased as I'm a dealer for Tonysuits, but there are some great options out there. Some good points were made so far in this thread as well. I own several suits and use each for different diciplines. I have a freefly suit with flat grips (Tonysuit Spacesuit) that I absolutely love. However, I would not wear it on an RW jump. Just like the fact I would not wear my RW suit with booties on a freefly jump. I know the cost of equipment keeps piling up, but proper suit selection is important as you progress in the sport. And unfortunately that comes with increased cost... However, a good suit (properly fit) will last you a long time if you don't pack on the pounds. My suggestion is whatever brand you buy, get cordura on the butt and knees to extend the life of the suit. Nothing worse than spending $300-$400 on a suit of your dreams and then tearing the butt out on a bad landing...2K Composites Dealer TonySuits Dealer Larsen & Brusgaard Dealer CSPA C, Coach 1, Rigger A, Instructor A, Tandem Videographer / Photographer, EJR Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
