EddieJ710 0 #1 December 4, 2006 anybody have any experiences with Kurupee suits? the cost caught my eye but I was just curious as to whether or not they hold up as well as some other brands? thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 December 4, 2006 There have been some horror stories, so far my suit has held up ok. You do get what you pay for, in general. Although I'm relatively happy with my suit I won't be buying another one from Kurupee.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Vectracide 0 #4 December 5, 2006 What's true in life, is true in skydiving.....you get what you pay for. The best way to determine the quality of a suit is to turn it inside out and look at the construction. Is it single stitched, or triple stitched using backing material? How are the graphics sewn on to the outside of it.....a straight, zig zag, or is the edge overlay completely covered with stitching? I wont talk smack about a company, but I can tell you that if you get a chance to look at the contruction of a Ouragon Suit....do it. As far as I have personally seen, they set the bar when it comes to as close to bulletproof as you can get. ------------------------------ Controlled and Deliberate.....

packing_jarrett 0 #5 December 5, 2006 my kurupee suit has held up extremely well through all my butt slide/ front slide landings. Delivery was fast. Suit was cheap. but I think for a little more money you can buy a nice matter suit.Na' Cho' Cheese Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stumpy 284 #6 December 5, 2006 Ouragan are nice but overpriced and they don't last any longer than the other reasonably high end suits. (boogieman, sonic, matter, etc etc ect) I had a kurupee, it was cheap, it fitted but it didn't last too well, and some of the people who ordered in the same batch i did had terrible fitting problems.Never try to eat more than you can lift Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boyd38off 0 #8 December 5, 2006 Second that on Liquid Sky. Awesome service, awesome suit, and FAST. I'm definitely buying my next suit from Juilo again.Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out and shouting, ".... holy crap....what a ride!"

icevideot 0 #10 December 6, 2006 I know a lot of peeps with firefly suits that love them too. Might be worth checking out. The webpage is under construction so I would email or call to be sure. http://www.fireflysuits.com/"... this ain't a Nerf world." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #11 December 6, 2006 QuoteThe webpage is under construction so I would email or call to be sure. That's the same site they've had for about 4-5 years. You'd figure by now they could have brought their site out of "under construction" or atleast removed the "under construction" comment from their site.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

icevideot 0 #12 December 6, 2006 Good thing they are selling cool jumpsuits instead of web designs. I think they should get someone to fix the site also but the suits still rock. I am sure one of their friends in the rodriguez brothers would hook them up."... this ain't a Nerf world." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
