Need Freefly Tunnel suit ASAP

Recommended Posts

the tunnels I know have suits to loan, but they aren't the custom-size-fit-colour-fancyfabric that some people want.

Amazing what the tunnel staff can do in these generic-flappy-not so nice colour suits :o

I don't think I have ever seen a tunnel instructor using one of the generic flappy suits (student suits). I have always seen them using a custom suit. The "generic flappy suits" really suck to use unless you have to have the grippers for the instructors to hold on to you. Otherwise the flapping of the suit really hurts if you have to spend any extended amount of time in the tunnel.

I have seen several, which makes you realize that it is more about the person than the suit. Sure the suit can help you being more comfy, have more drive etc etc, but being able to fly in shorts & tshirt / generic suit etc shows A LOT from the flyer

When a suit is beating the shit out of you and taking hair with it, it's more then not comfortable. A good suit is worth every penny and if you spend a lot of time in the tunnel it's well worth the cost.

The majority of the tunnel instructors have custom fitted suits. I can fly with any suit or no suit at all but it's not worth it. I woudl rather have my Vertical suit. I am not an instructor. I have between 22 and 25 hours in the last two years.

BTW I have had those floppy suits take the hair right off my legs when I was learning head down in the tunnel. It made it very hard to concentrate on what I was trying to learn. Couldn't wait to get my custom made Vertical suit.
