What do I need in a jumpsuit?

Recommended Posts

It's time for me to quit borrowing the stinky, ill-fitting jumpsuits at the DZ and get my own. I went to some websites, and I'm so confused! I'll probably do mostly RW. What do I need as far as fabric, what kind of grips, how many grips, etc, and do I need the other things they offer as an extra cost like extra reinforcing? Has anyone had a good experience with a particular company that offered good quality and good prices? Do I need to get one that is custom made?

Thanks, but I have two jumpsuits. This thread is 6 years old! :S



I was going to say... I think there is a serious problem if you have almost 500 jumps and you're still borrowing the dropzone jumpsuits. To each his own, I know, but damn.

And, all I was going to say was Bev suits rock!! :)

I took advice from my Instructor who has been on pretty much every world record and get me set up for future RW and happy with what I've ended up with and the cost was a bit more from the add on but from how long they last I'd rather get everything I'll need in then not.

I just got a new bev competition suit a month or so ago (My first one) B| I really been liking the cool max lining with how hot it has been it dose make a difference

I got the reinforced knees and but because I mostly jump at a Cessna drop zone and being on the knees allot thought it would be nice to have to keep the wear down. (Plus the occasional slip upon landing) I got booties with the longer zipper and have no problem putting it on while wearing shoes.

One thing I did get done was get a snap put on above the knees so one on the ground or just walking around I can put the booties up out of the way and not be walking on them and wearing them out.

SO this one time at band camp.....

What part of this is a 6 year old thread don't you understand?

The equine has not only expired, the glue has all been used up, the pets fed, and the baseballs retired.;)


Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?

Smart girl.
:)But "too many times to count" blows my image. I'll have to re-tailor.
