riddler 0 #1 September 4, 2009 ... webbed gloves? When I started jumping, eight years ago, I saw several camera people that used these. I don't think I've seen a pair on anyone in the past several years. Was this just a fad, or do people still jump with gloves that have webbing between the fingers?Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

billvon 3,110 #2 September 4, 2009 They are sometimes used by larger people for fallrate control. Suits have gotten good enough that they're not often needed. A nice feature of them is that the drag disappears once you dock, helping prevent the "dock and float" phenomenon when too much drag is used. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
