Need another Jumpsuit

[allieram 0]

Looking for some advice/input here.
The jumpsuit I currently have is snug fitting, made for RW. I fly fine with it, except that when jumping with others I'm falling like a rock. Some of the other jumpers put on weight vests to keep up with me, while others just can't catch me, and I'm trying my best to de-arch. This weekend, after releasing from a two way I fell dropped from the other jumper who only caught me by sit flying.
I've purchased a swoop cord system to add wings to my suit, but that hasn't seem to help much. From what other jumpers are telling me, it appears I need a looser jump suit.
I don't know how fast I fall now. I would like to fall slower to stay with the other jumpers and work RW. Even though I don't freefly now, one day I hope to and would possibly like to use the same jumpsuit to alleviate having to buy another (course by then maybe I should buy a freefly suit).
Any recommendations? Style/Brand? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You have a ton of options. Pick any jumpsuit manufacturer and tell them what's going on and they will hook you right up. For example: if you like Tony Suits, then get a Tony or a Tony Swoop, not a Pit Special. If you like Michigan (like I do), then ask for his big boy suit. There is a ton of stuff they can add or subtract to your suit to adjust your fall rate. Heavier material makes you fall slower, not having spandex on your lower arms really slows you down, etc. After your swoop cord installation, I would recommend buying a set of "slip ons" for your arms if you don't already have floppy material there. Tony Suits sells them and they work great. I have a set that I pull on my lower arms for swooping to big ways; they give me a ton of extra braking power.
To find out how fast you are REALLY falling, just borrow somebody's pro-track and fall in a relaxed arch without trying to either go slow or fast. Get the data once you land, then use that, plus the description of your current suit to get your new jumpsuit manufacturer to get it where you need it. Most full-service gear shops have people that are trained to get you measured correctly and give advice on proper selection. That being said, I have always found the best fit when I get measured by the manufacturers themselves. Go to any big boogie and you will see them. Michigan gets around quite a bit, as does E.G. Skysystems, and Tony Suits.
Right now, I own a Michigan comp bootie suit, two Paraclete suits (Tim DiAnnunzio), and an Airwear by Wendy. I use each for separate things, but all are great suits. I have also owned two Pit Specials that I really liked.

George,
I agree with what Chuck said, there are alot of options out there if you need a suit to slow you down. I would also have someone jump with you and check your body position. Sometimes people have a fast fall rate and other times it may be body position related. It would be cheaper to have someone look at your position and fix that than buying a new suit, also take a pro track with you.
Good Luck
