freeflir29 0 #2 February 27, 2002 You'll live at 45F. Wear gloves, sweatshirt, and long johns. A neck gator would be a definate plus. Remember...to calculate the average temp drop is 2.5F per 1000 ft. So I think it should be about 15-20F at altitude for a Colorado jump....."I only have a C license, so I don't know shit..right?"-Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lummy 4 #4 February 27, 2002 That is if you even notice the cold. You'll probably be too nervous to even notice.Still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vickha 0 #8 February 27, 2002 You'll be fine. My advice: wear gloves! I find my hands get the coldest. But like lummy said, you'll probably be too excited and anxious to even feel the cold. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyMan 7 #9 February 27, 2002 I've jumped in temperatures as cold as 12 degrees F.That's about 15 below C.For this I dressed like I was skiing. T-shirt, turtleneck, nylon shirt, sweater, then jumpsuit. I looked like the goodyear blimp, but I was toasty.For what you're doing, I would wear a tshirt and sweater underneath the jumpsuit._AmICQ: 5578907MSN Messenger: andrewdmetcalfe at hotmail dot com Yahoo IM: ametcalf_1999 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sebazz1 2 #10 February 27, 2002 -20 F in Monterey couple of weeks ago(at 15,000'). It wasn't that bad. But for the tandem passenger blocking all the wind for me I can't say the same.........................No it was painfuly cold but when you got an addiction, reason seems to go right out the door so to say......Sebazz............
