One more jumpsuit question....

[jrmrangers 0]

So I have pretty much decided on the Michigan suits standard suit for my first jumauit. My question is since I don't plan on doing any competition style RW should I still get the booties? Will I be screwing up the suit ? Thanks in advance for any info.

Wait , I pull what first?

Yes, get booties. You will thank yourself later.

They help you do everything better, even trying to float is better with booties!

I agree with Dave. You can always tape them up or fold them in until you're ready to use them

PULL!! or DIE!!

Yes, get the booties... Mike is the man!

Those suits are built like freakin tanks... they're completely built to last. I've got probably an hour and a half in the tunnel with it, and roughly 100 jumps on mine, and its got many more to go!

I have a 'Tetris' suit, and I love it. Ask him what the difference is between the 'standard' and 'tetris' and decide which you would like more.

Thanks Ski, from what I've read the tetria is the standard suit with all the options already included. I'm going to give him a call anyway today.

Get the Tetris with Cordura Butt and Booties.

I have a Tetris that is near 9 years old and it is as solid as my other RW suits, one is less than a year old the other about 6.

My first Tetris is 10 years old and out in CA some where now, with out any repairs still.

just get the Tetris

anyone trying to sell you on no booties, is likely just wanting to make two sales - no booties now, and then the suit you REALLY need (booties) later.

Mike will take care of you, he runs a good shop and is a good guy.

I actually spoke to Mike today, what a great guy! I ordered the standard suit with all the options Mike and I felt were the right choices for me, the level I'm at , and where I want to be.

You'll love it. He's a great guy that makes a bullet proof suit. I had just sent mine back to get it adjusted a little (length, not width fuckers...) because I didn't want to have to try to take the damn thing apart!
