Jumperpaula 0 #2 July 26, 2002 I it was me ordering a new jumsuit. (it would be my 3rd). I'd have zippers on the arms and on the legs, especially in year around jumping like you do. Ive have competition grippers on the inside legs, even for recreational FS. make sure it has a hook knife pocket on the legs. I'd have the standard inside pocket and a leg exterior pocket if it's available. Red , white or blue always works for good colors. I have hot pink though, but Im a hot pink girl!

drenaline 0 #4 July 26, 2002 Normal size grip are 1", competition grips are 1 1/2". Get the competition, they are bigger, easier to grab. HISPA 21 www.panamafreefall.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricx 0 #5 July 26, 2002 I remember being told that if you are going to be using your jump suit for competitions, that red is not the best colour for grips as on camera red doesn't come up as clear and defined as other colours! A little tip from VMAX there! While were talking about jump suits, I've been offered a jumps suit for much cheapness, ony problem is that it a mix and match with several minging colurs. Is it hard to dye the suit to other colors, like black and something else? Anyone every dyed their jumpsuit themselves? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhreeZone 20 #8 July 26, 2002 I helped Jessica dye her suit all black. I think she had to use an acid based dye and leave in in boiling water hor a while to get it to work. But it did go to all black eventually.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Deuce 1 #11 July 26, 2002 Nice. My colors are Royal, Red, and black. If you get colors you like and stick with them, eventually everything's coordinated. I've got a Pit Special, definitely get the jumbo grips. Mine are red, and show up fine on video. If the others are wearing black gloves, there's plenty of contrast. Like jumperpaula says, get the inside leg grips. Don't bother with the second set of upper arm grips, they just encourage the frisky to climb on your back and ride. You gettin the cordura butt and knees? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TEB6363 0 #12 July 26, 2002 I always re-inforce the knees and seat so they don't get torn up climbing and sitting in the airplane. For about 10 bucks it ads a lot of life to the jumpsuite. Also, I'd go with Paula and get another pocket - on the inside. Great place for goggles, gum, earplugs, Etc.. Once the plane takes off, you're gonna have to land - Might as well jump out!!

The hook knife I would reconsider for RW. Lots of RW is a full contact sport and the knife might hurt someone. Just my 2 cents. As for the rest. Get cordura grippers, butt, knees. Definitely get inside leg grippers. Don't forget big booties 300 is not bad. Mine cost me 400+Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites TEB6363 0 #20 July 27, 2002 Yep, $300 is about right. It will be a nice suite though. Remember to get measured by the dealer or someone who sells jumpsuites. 1/2-inch off makes all the difference in the world.
