Best Tandem Master Suit??

[slotperfect 7]

I am getting ready to buy a jumpsuit specifically for doing tandems. I'm looking at a big floppy suit with no booties & no "wings." What are y'all using out there . . . any suggestions? I would especially appreciate comments regarding durability of specific brands of suit used for this purpose. Thanks!

Alot of the tandem masters at my dropzone use big ol- heavy double-zippered suits like the ones found in Paragear, both for themselves and for the students. They have lasted foprever so far-LOL and that has been just for the 5 years I've been jumping. I forget the brand name. I'm prolly goin to the dz tommorow and I'll get ya then name and some info if ya want?

I used a Air Time Tony Suit lookalike - it was baggy on me in the arms and legs and gave me a little extra control. I know one instructor who swears by booties, also for additional control. She's not real tall though; if you are tall you probably won't need them. Get padded knees and the cordura knees and butt if you order something custom; it will be well worth the extra money, especially if you jump out of aircraft without benches.

Hi there! Have you checked into DaKine Rags?? They are very thick, very well made suits with every seam double stitched and VERY durable fabric. They should have their tandem master suits online soon...I would highly recommend them and their service. http://www.dakinerags.com

Yes, I am a big guy . . . 6'2" and 230 lbs. So I have lots of surface area. Thanks for your input!
