well, as if the grey hair didn't let me in on my advancing age i now have to wear glasses. i have tried everything to not wear them: dry eyes won't let me use contacts and my prescription is changing consistently so lasik is not an option yet. are there any good glasses that can be worn with a helmet and hot have them come off. freeflying with a gath hemlet i'm hoping to avoid using goggles. anyone have any good experiences with particular brands? thanks.

i should have known that PD would have a perfectly clear answer to that question. thanks for the lead chris.

hello all. i am coming back to the sport after a few years off due to job restraints and geographic issues and have often wondered about the following: anyone want to shed some light on the differences in flight characteristics of say these two canopies for instance: jedei 136 at 1.4 and a jedei 150 at 1.4. do smaller canopies with the same wing loading as a larger, similiar canopy turn faster or stay in a dive longer? before i got out i jumped a sabre 107(1.63) from a 120(1.45) for say 30 jumps and gave it back to the owner b/c it was just too responsive for my taste and i felt myself get behind the curve more than once as the turns were extremely fast and dives a bit much....quite honestly above my skill level at the time. i was dumb enough to get on it, but fortunately smart enough to know to get off it as well. thanks in advance for the input

I am getting back into the sport after a four year absence due to geographic/job limitations, but I'm back in Florida and can't wait to get in the air. I will be back jumping at Z-Hills and love that place like no other, but was wondering if anyone had started offering any beach jumps since I've been gone. I remember there was a place up in the panhandle at one time doing them...at the Flora-Bama if memory serves. Thanks for the heads up. Dan
