Z1 - first jump

Recommended Posts

Finally got to try out my new Z1 last weekend at cross keys. I was a little nervous about either it fogging up or my glasses fogging up underneath in the cold weather (musta been in the 30s on the ground). I left it on with the visor open for the ride to altitude...very comfortable and kept me nice and warm. In freefall, it was great. It didnt fog up at all. I could feel air moving inside it. Not so much that it was uncomfortable though... it mostly seemed to come in through the mouth holes. Really made freefall in the cold comfortable. I couldn't imagine jumping in that weather without a full face anymore. Immediately after opening the visor began to fog up. I quickly opened it up just a tiny bit and the fog disappeared. It still did a fine job keeping the wind out even though it was partially open. So, overall, I'm very impressed. It was definitely worth buying. I got mine from Sky Kat for $249 including shipping. By far the best price I was able to find, and they were easy to deal with and shipped it quickly. I'm a satisfied customer now!

Dave...glad to hear you enjoy your Z1. I have had the fortunate opportunity to have T2 as my primary jumpmaster at Skydive Orange. She is also the proprietor of Unfeathered (www.unfeathered.com) the #1 importer for Parasport.
The Z1 should not fog up on you at all. Go to Unfeathered's website and read about how you can adjust your liner so that fogging will not occur. I too have jumped in 30-degree temps with no problems. Contact T2 if you have any questions regarding your Z1.....she has great customer service!
Hope this helps!
