ColdDuck 0 #1 January 31, 2002 I am planning on purchasing a pair of freefly pants. I can't make up my mind between Tony Suits, a michigan suit or Merlin suits. I have heard good things about Tonys Suits as far as quality and customer srevice are concerned.How are the other two to deal with?Oh and does anyone know how much Merlin charges for Tie Dye pantsLater, Shain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aufreefly 0 #2 January 31, 2002 Just curious...why only pants? I found that with my weight (205 naked) I could not fly slow enough head-down to stay with the formation. I now have a beautiful pair of firefly pants crumpled up in my closet. To get back on topic several people at skydive atlanta jump in michigan suits and seem to like them... I even remember hearing that one of the suits had some minor errors and was fixed for free in an expedicous manner.michael hunt (yes, that is my real name...and i've heard them all) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ColdDuck 0 #3 January 31, 2002 When I bought my rig I also got a tony freefly suit included.However I want a pair of pants mainly for summer jumping. And I also have some financial aid money burning a hole in my pocket. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #4 January 31, 2002 I've only heard good about all the manufacturers you mentioned. You might get what you want faster with Merlin or Michigan; Tony Suits delivery time is pretty long.Personally I LOVE my Firefly freefly suit and RW suit; a pair of pants is next. pull and flare,lisa--What would Scooby Doo?

skymama 37 #7 January 31, 2002 Christine at Merlin Suits is great. She has a quality product and good customer service. My wait on my freefly suit is about 6 weeks at the moment. As for the price of the pants, I'm not sure, but just give her a call, she's really nice.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.

tigra 0 #8 January 31, 2002 You might want to check out Zute Sute. She does a great job and has a lot of different fabrics to choose from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawnDart21 0 #10 January 31, 2002 I agree all the above mentioned freefly pant companies make a quality product, but DaKine Rags is my fave. Chuck actually came out with a new design that he introduced in Quincy this year, it's basically mesh covers on the lower legs to add additional drag. They look cool and are supposed to help slow fall rate (even if just a bit). Check them out. I don't think he had them on his site yet, but email him and I'm sure he'll send some pics.

SBS 0 #11 January 31, 2002 I have heard good and bad regarding the companies that you mentioned, but not bad enough to really discourage one or the other...I have to say, though, considering looks, quality, and customer service, IMHO, Firefly rocks all.
