Skydiving Fashion

Recommended Posts

even though the topic is kinda dead, I just wanted to say how much I love the fact that I can be practical in what I wear and how I get ready at the dz. It has spread to other areas of my life and I feel so more real when I am not primping. PJ's are the best!
The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP.

They lack fashion sense. Thank god there's at least one group left that puts functionality ahead of looking like the cover of a magazine.

sorry for being serious in a silly-fun thread, but i've read a couple of articles about standard 3-ring setups vs. mini-rings. the only reason people were choosing minis was because they looked better. the larger rings are (from what i've read, i'm NOT an expert) safer, but people think they look kinda clunky. wouldn't that be a case of a skydiver going for appearance over function?

Damn, you beat me to it :)Another issue is the "smaller is cooler"-syndrome. People buy the smallest possible rig they can fit their main into, and don't take the reserve-size into consideration... How many of _you_ know the maximum suspended weight allowed for your reserve?
What about tinted goggles? And... Just face it, we're just as fashion-sensible as anyone else, it just shows up in more critical places....

No shit... how could she have forgotten?? Real men don't wear pink or purple...

You saying Bill Morrissey isn't a real man? :D
As for the original subject - a few weeks ago there was a guy at the dz that remarked "Wear else, except at a drop zone, can you walk around in just your boxers and no one says anything?"

Responding to Lisa.....just found it in your post.


Figgerred as much, just wanted to be sure. (Snaps fingers and goes "Shucks"!) Was hoping to have some fun witcha -- glad you didn't take my tone wrong.
(That's the only thing I dislike about boards like this, it can be tricky to talk with your tongue in cheek sometimes, and if someone doesn't know/like you, it can get pretty hot.)
