Kerozene 0 #1 April 21, 2004 Hi people, I have 20 jumps and I'm looking foward to do 40-60 jumps this summer (starting to get more serious in the sport). I need a relative jumpsuit. Of course, the pit special caught my attention. Is it an expert suit ? Am I going for an overkill? Should I start with something cheaper? (I have the money for the suit, that is not problem). Which options should I choose? Note: For freefly, I'll buy another suit if needed. Thanks "That makes me angry, and when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset....people DIE!!!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 April 21, 2004 Which suit to choose depends on your body size, weight and how fast you fall. If you're a featherbutt (ie fall slow) then the Pit might be the right choice for you. If you fall fast then the Pit would not be the right choice. I'd suggest talking with a jumpsuit dealer (or two or three) regarding what suits will work best for you.

adamsr 0 #3 April 22, 2004 I'd reccomend doing some 2-ways with experienced skydivers, or RW coaches before getting a suit, as they will be able to tell you wether you are falling fast or slow and you can decide on the correct suit for you. I rushed into buying a brand new RW suit before really doing lots of formation dives and ended up sinking out on everyone because the suit was too fast. I had to buy a different suit which works perfectly for my fall rate, but I just wish i'd held off buying the first one coz i wasted £200 on a suit that i never use!

bodypilot1 0 #4 April 22, 2004 Ask your instructor about your fallrate. They will tell you if it fast or slow. Tony Suit is a great suit and will make it to fit your fallrate what ever suit you choose from them.www.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
