Got my FF suit. Only problem is...

Recommended Posts

I thought mine was screwed up too... I needed all that extra baggieness just to fly with the little people it turns out.Take a pic of it on you and send it to Sherry. She'll work it out with you. My pants drag on the ground if I wear Teva's but are fine in shoes. I need it that long to get the right fall rate I guess.

I ordered through SQ3....going to take it in there tomorrow. I'm pretty sure it's too long though. My inseam from crotch to floor while wearing shoes is 35". The inseam on the pants is 41". The tribal design on the side is under my feet. They ain't baggy...they're loooooong.

I'm sure they'll make it right for me, just sucks that I have to wait longer.

My inseam on my jeans is 34, my Firefly pants is 40. They fly great like that, granted it took a while to relearn a sit with all that drag. They may have made it a tad longer then mine if you weigh more then me (180)

Well...I'll have Mary check it out for me. I've never seen anyone else's as extra long as these though, including people bigger than me (200lbs). If they are supposed to be that way then they should have moved the design up so it's not bunched up at my ankles.

My inseam is 32 and my firefly's are 36 or so. Same thing about re-learning to sit. I didn't like them at first but now i'm getting used to themB|

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

Well, you guys were right. They seemed enormous, especially when just holding them up but Mary at Square 3 straightened me out and showed me how they're supposed to fit.

They fly great and look awesome. Quality is top notch. Also Sherry from FF contacted me right away to take care of any problem.

Does take a little getting used to compared to just wearing shorts and a long sleeve, but much more control and better response from input, especially with legs.
