Tony Suit or Flite Suit

So I'm looking into getting a new competition RW suit and think I've narrowed it down to these two choices. What is your preference and why?

I just got a new Tony suit last week, I have only put 10 jumps on it so far.

After asking some of the serious 4-way jumpers at Elsinore I decided to get a Tony Pit Suit.

Also Purusha at Square1 really pushed Tonys. She did the measuring and I paid $40 extra and had it 2 weeks after ordering it.

It fits perfectly and the mega booties really seem to work great.

I actually was considering a Michigan or Merlin, but after asking enuff peeps at my dz I realized Tony was the favorite. Alot of jumpers said Tony's last a long time.

I did check into others as well, Bev, Flite, etc.

(Also I called Tony's and they were VERY helpful regarding the options and what not)

My understanding is both companies make a great suit so I am sure you will be happy which ever one you choose.

Good luck

I have personally had great experiences with Tony, Bev, Michigan, Flite Suit, Symbiosis, and Merlin Suits. They were all well made, held up well, and functioned well. When making your choice, a lot depends upon what fit, materials, and options best serve your purposes.

Tony. They last a long time, the competition grips are solid and the booties are well built. They last well in both jumping and tunnel applications. I've seen some good Flite Suits, but I also watched one disintegrate in the tunnel after only a few hours.

I've been pleased with every one of my FliteSuits, not so much with my Tony Suit. YMMV.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I've got a comp body suit from flite suit that rocks. Unique feature is the articulation in the knee which is awesome when you're sitting in a cramped plane.

The fit is excellent but the wait time was about two months. I've never jumped a Tony but I've heard good things and from what I've seen at the DZ I'm sure you can't go wrong either way.

I just ordered a new Pit Special suit from TonySuits and I just got an update from them telling me it should be shipped to me at the end of the month. I cant say if its good or bad yet since I havent jumped it yet but I've heard lots of good reviews about them.
