to answer your question of how "new" i am to the sport, im much like a 2011 model vehicle.. damn new! hahaha. i have done a few tandem jumps and within a couple weeks i will be starting AFF. my program will last a few days in order for me to get my A license, from there ill be going balls to the wall! i know its not a good idea to get gear especially before getting my license. i just feel it better to get opinions and ideas through this collective as opposed to the info i'd attain from the DZ ill be training at alone. the way i see it, knowledge is power! plus i have time on my hands so i might as well make the best of it becoming informed and researching products. and thanks again everyone for your suggestions!!!

Thank you everyone for replying to my post :) this is definitely valuable information for me, i appreciate it. ive been researching your suggestions and i think i have something to work with here, thanks again!!!

Hello, I'm entering the sport of skydiving and as most newbies, I have a million questions regarding the sport.. I've been directed towards purchasing used gear rather than new, which makes sense. My goal is to purchase a complete system and my question regarding that is what would be the best option to start with??? Are certain brands overwhelmingly better?? I'm 6'2'' around 195 lbs. I don't have any personal friends involved in the sport so I'm coming into this blind. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated :) -Jerrid
