Ok what do you wear on your body when you jump??

Recommended Posts

Cargo shorts or cargo pants, depending on the weather. T-shirt, with a sweatshirt on top if it's cold. Whatever cheap rental jumpsuit over it all. Vans for shoes. I also have a pair of cheap Columbia sandals waiting 'till I have a couple of landings on my new canopy.

Either:

Carhart work pants with double knees, long sleeve shirt, full body motorcycle armor, and paragliding boots, or;

T-shirt, shorts and a Birdman Classic II (navy with white wings)--but I'm hoping to get my new Skyflyer next week.

Suit: My Bev FX competition Suit
Underneath: it's HOT here! usually shorts and a spaghetti strap tank or just a sports bra. 105 with heat index is not fun for t shirts, etc. bleck!

and jimbo- you will be sad to note that i've actually started to put on long sleeved ts or a jacket when it drops below 75. starts to get a bit chilly then! At 3 AM today I must say I'm happy that it was still weather nice enough to go sit in the spa!

just a sports bra.



Just so you know, they're all sports bras to us guys.;)

Those special nylon shorts you can get at the Aloha Flea market for $15 ("For you, two pair for $14!") or on Waikiki for $29.99. Whatever tee shirt best expresses my mood (Usually it's a beer.) And the cheapest pair of velcro running shoes I can find at Walmart. Covered by either my DaKine suit or my Tony suit.
Shit happens. And it usually happens because of physics.

And I thought I was the originator of purple toenails. Well, mine are purple with sparkles in them.

I jump in shorts/t-shirt and tevas. If I'm playing with the dark side, then I wear my rw suit. (It's purple sparkles, too)

For rw I wear my Tad's Comp Suit, with shorts and teeshirt underneath. When the weather is cooler, I'll wear sweat pants and a sweat shirt or two under the suit. For freeflying, it's sweatpants and a baggy sweatshirt. Runners on my feet. Always wear gloves.

I really try not to wear too much heavy clothing when I jump, I need the oxygen to get to my skin so I can breathe in freefall. If I wore too much, I might suffocate when I left the plane ;):P:D:ph34r:.

Lately i've been wearing my freefly pants and a tank top to jump in. Sometimes i can be persuaded to put on my jumpsuit with those gripper things if i'm gonna fly on my belly. I always wear socks and gym shoes. No sandals for me til i learn how to land better.

Underneath:
-Warm weather: t-shirt and shorts, vans
-Cold weather: lightweight capilene long johns, turtleneck, polypro glove liners

On the outside: one of my multitude of jumpsuits (necessary because of my size and fall-rate), and Neuman gloves. I have different suits for different applications.

Here is my list:
clothes: One of my 6 years old Local Motion shorts, my club Panama FreeFall t-shirt, Scorpion Bay t-shirt or a HIC (Hawaiian Island Creation) T-shirt, any white socks I can find, vans shoes. Oh yeah and my boxers.


When I go for RW I wear my pit special with hook knife and mizuno baseball gloves.

We don't get cold weather, only rain and heat. :(

OK

Military overall: Originaly it came from Germany
it was issued -I do not know when- for tank personnel. It is comfortable.
It came with a "interior part" another overall
-insulation- for winter use. AND it was so cheap
$35.

Dutch military boots: -Hey I am an international man-. I traded the boots for a sling-shot.

Skydiving T-shirt: Got that free, because I am a so nice guy. Once I let a newbie jump instead of me -so he could jump his first on that weekend-.

So out of $38 a slingshot and a nice personality I have my clothes.

Anyway for round chute jumps -BANG- that's good, when I upgrade myself to ram-air I'll buy some fancy stuff.
