I did a search and saw a topic about whether skydiving goggles were ok for skiing... but none for whether skiing goggles were ok for skydiving. I haven't made any jumps, but taking my fjc in about a month or so. I was just wondering whether I'd be ok using one of my pairs of skiing goggles... or not? Forgive me if it was a bit of a silly question. Cheers. EDIT: PS I wear contacts.

I never saw that, which month issue was it in?

I am currently learning to skydive and I have aspirations to be a base jumper sometime in the future. I know that Base is a dangerous sport and I want to be as well prepared as I possibly can, I have seen on numerous sites that 200 skydives is the minimum number of jumps before moving on to base. I thought that doing double this number would be more sensible as I would be preparing myself more thoroughly, is 400 skydives a sensible number before getting into base or would you reccomend more?

Ahh right, sorry about that, new here and all that didn't see the search button. Don't worry about replying to this topic now, it looks like I have all the info I need.

I'm looking to learn to skydive, and I was wondering what the relative advantages and disadvantages of RAPS and AFF are? Which is best?
