VectorBoy 0 #1 November 20, 2004 I jumped the S-fly today. I was impressed with its construction. It looks like it is reinforced in all of the right places. Just like all of the single zipper suits it is a little harder to get into than the double zipper designs but then again those same designs mount to the rig very fast. Just as I thought it would be it is very easy to fly, very stable even flying it upside down. Yup I like this one too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbla4024 0 #2 November 21, 2004 Which one? Old one (S-fly) or new one (S-fly Expert)? Fido Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #3 November 21, 2004 I heard some people refer to them as the expert. I'm not sure of any differences from Loic's previous designs, do you know how( or if ) they are different? I thought they refered to it as the expert to keep the confusion down between it and the access which I have not tried but the access is a two piece suit and looks very easy to get into and fly.

pbla4024 0 #4 November 21, 2004 They changed some details (to solve durability issues), moved zippers to sides and changed country of production. Zippers on sides of legs = new S-fly. Fido Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #5 November 21, 2004 Yes this one had the zippers on the sides and little powerful rare earth magnets instead of snaps to hold the booties up post flight. There was also no graffics on this suit. Unlike the Matter suits ( and most every suit really ) there is no specific arm wing mesh covered vents but instead just a continious gap along the leading edge of the arm. It is held constant by the lengths of the cuttaway loops. Loic did mention changes in manufacturing but the conversation was in regards to the suit from the beginning back in 99. I like how the back wing zipper is installed with the pull to the interior of the suit so you place it down on the rig and there is no turning it over.
