Practical Jumpsuit Colors

Recommended Posts

I've leaned toward mostly white jumpsuits, (possibly from watching "Ripcord" as a kid). I've found synthetics clean up very well in the laundry, even with massive mud/grass stains.

I like white too. Ever since I got an off-the-rak tony ssuit that fit me perfectly with booties years ago,m I stuck with white. And poly-cotton washes out well enough.

But, if you wear white, make sure you don't do too many tumbles.. You still have to wear the suit for the rest of the weekend ;-)

You would be amazed how green you can make the legs of a white jumpsuit when you inadvertently swoop a Diablo thru 3' deep alfalfa.:S

In your mirror?

Seriously. WTF is your issue? We were having a nice little discussion and you take it off the rails with your petty non-sense.

THAT is flakey.

I got my first jumpsuit while still in AFF -- we were going to the tunnel, so one of my coaches loaned me a jumpsuit that his girlfriend received that didn't fit her (she's a bit taller than me). It fit me perfectly, so they offered it to me at a REALLY good price.

Two years later I designed my rig to match that jumpsuit! B| I solved the "can you see me on FS video" dilemma by using more of the blue and adding a neon color for the stitching on the rig (although that was totally unintentional -- just happened to notice that particular perk the next time I jumped 4-way) :$:)
Although, it turns out that I appreciated having a black jumpsuit for sliding or taking a knee on landing. :o I have yellow pants now as well. Easy to spot from the ground, but I pretty much have to wash them after every few jumps I wear them!

so too do flakey skydivers tend to be brightly colored.



Are you calling me a "flake"?

Note white jumpsuit with Pink and Purple highlights.

Andrea, notice how matchy, matchy I am ;)

I like how Turtlespeed edited out the ground so as to show the jumpsuit colors more clearly! ;)
