daniel52587 0 #1 February 5, 2007 Ok, so I graduated my AFF training. I also did 1 solo dive which was great. I did like 10 front flips exiting the plane. Now I have to start renting gear. I need to get some equipment so it will be less expensive to rent. Could you guys please recommend me some altimeters, flight suits, and a good helmet. Now I really like the look of the full face helmets. I want one with the best field of fiew. I have to see. Also, I would like one where the visor comes on and off. I may wear sunglasses instead, that is why. Please help me out. Thanks.

I would also like to have many opinions so I can make a good decision.

Ask the owner of the rigging shop, the DZO, the staff, the packers, etc. who you should talk to about gear.Rodriguez Brother #1614, Muff Brother #4033 Jumped: Twin Otter, Cessna 182, CASA, Helicopter, Caravan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DougH 270 #5 February 5, 2007 Ask your instructors.

Start by buying the accessories. Do a few more jumps on rental gear until you find a canopy size you'll be on for a little while, then look for a used rig.
