Hi Guys,

I would love to see some pictures of your Majik Bev Suit and a description of the options on it.

Thanks,
Mircea

Been a while since I ordered an RW suit, but mine has the Majik bootie option. Not sure if there are other "majik" options for grippers or something.

The booties basically have a couple pleats in them that help keep them taut so they're more effective. My previous suit was basically identical except that it had regular booties. The difference was very noticeable.

From your profile I'm assuming this is your first suit and probably your first experience with booties. I'd probably recommend the normal booties. That'll be a huge change from having no booties at all, but maybe not quite as much as going to more powerful booties. It took me a while to get used to the majik booties (I probably have nearly 1000 jumps on that suit now). Control in a track was the most noticeable difference. It was hard at first not to dive steeply at the start of the track, and going in a straight line took a little more effort and leg awareness.

You are right. This will be my first RW jump suit. I am wondering if I should get the Majik bootie option. What other options would you recommend?

Thanks,

PS: Can you post some pictures of the majik bootie ?

Many options will depend on your size and whether you need the jumpsuit to help you fall faster or slower. Definitely consult with one of your instructors or someone else that's jumped with you and knows about ordering jumpsuits.

But I recommend cordura booties, high zippers, and the rest is up to you. 4-way people will say inside knee grippers, gigantor humungo grippers, and all black. But at this point, those things aren't really necessary (in my opinion).

The zippers are another controversial topic. I like them, but they do add a potential failure point. Again, if I was competing in 4-way, I'd go without zippers on the legs. But I switch between 3 different jumpsuits, so the high zippers are really nice for getting it on and off.

I've had mine for about two years, I got it fully tricked out with square grippers with the mesh in the center, pleated booties from the knee to the toe, inside grips. I would, however, do with no zippers on the booties. Its not a matter of if they will break, but when. Overall, its a great suit. I can't really dig up any photos that show the details of its construction.

If I was gonna get a new RW suit, I would get a tony suit with the airspeed booties that have the elastic in them. My friends got that and it is much better than the bev pleated booties, IMO. And they are easy to take on/off even without zippers.

Personally, I would go with the biggest booties you can get on the first suit, as long as you have a license, or will have one by the time the suit gets in. The small booties are really just shoe covers, and I've owned two suits with those. Those are better than nothing but you will want more after less than 50 jumps (if you are getting into 4-way). Just my opinions...
