Thanks for the reply and concern, Jarno. I do intend to get membership in the PAI as I'll be regularly jumping at the Irish Parachute Club. Where I live is about equidistant from my current dropzone and it. I know that it used to be in the BPA that the CCI could skip the rules back when I did my first 3 wingsuit jumps here but from what I believe things have changed and the BPA recommendations have become rules now and cannot be bypassed by a CCI. Out of curiosity would you recommend a Shadow 2 to a beginner?

Thanks for the offer, Zeemax, not possible under the current BPA regs though as I've less than 500 jumps. I did a few jumps before they changed it all but now no can do. As I'm in Northern Ireland though I can always pop down to the Irish DZ which would permit me to jump one given I've jumped wingsuits before! :) Been looking a bit more and been thinking the Shadow 2 is what I'd like to go for. Gripperless flying seems like better craic

Thanks for all the replies, guys. Some useful information there. I'd most like to get into aerobatics and flocking with a wingsuit so is there any particular suit that excels at that more so than others? Might be worth noting that the other wingsuit pilots are my DZ are shorter and well... let's just say their BMI is higher than mine so would that mean for flocking I would be better off with a suit with a smaller surface area or I would tend to either float or speed past them without a lot of experience in the suit?

Hey there, I've been jumping for a few years now and am looking into trying out WS flying and getting my first suit. I'm 6' 3" and 200lb out the door. I've heard that a person's height and weight can drastically affect the performance of the different suits out there so I was hoping to hear some advice on what would be the best suit to get. I've looked at the P3 and the T-Bird as possibilities.
