jannas 0 #1 July 23, 2004 Just got a pair of pantz quite cheap. However they seem to be the base-version, with inlets only on the front. Will they be no good for backtracking? The guy I got them from wasn´t sure if it was freefly or base-version. He had ordered freefly version, but i´m pretty sure that it isn´t. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #2 July 23, 2004 BASE versions actually inflate much better (on your belly) in my experience. You can tell them apart very simply: -BASE versions have one rectangular inlet down on your shin and two inlets up near your crotch. They also come up higher on your waist. Most BASE versions are black. -Freefly versions have inlets on the front and rear of the lower leg which run diagonally. They ride low on your hips. edited to add that no, the BASE version will not inflate if you are on your back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jannas 0 #3 July 30, 2004 Ok, it´s the BASE-version. They are blue and yellow though.. Wonder if I can modify them by adding inlets on the back so that they will inflate when backtracking to.. Anyway, I track FAST when on my belly! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimgriffin 0 #4 August 2, 2004 If you don't get an answer here, then you may want to post your question (about having inlets added to the back of your Pantz) on the BASE forum here or at BASE-specific site http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/index.php or email Jari Kuosma, ownwer of BirdMan. There may BASE jumpers out there with the BASE-version BM Pantz who have altered theirs for back flying. Good luck, Kim Griffin BMI Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
