GPSJane 0 #3 January 11, 2009 Either at a DZ close to you if there is someone who knows how - preferabley someone who is also a dealer. Or ask a friend to help you and make sure you follow the directions on the manufacturer's form correctly. If you don't have a form, email them and ask for it. It should have space for all the required measurements and a picture.Only skydivers know why the birds sing; they don't have to pack a parachute!

It would pretty messed up to ask a dealer to measure you and then buy gear from someone else. Measuring for a rig isn't rocket science, and unlike measuring for an RW jumpsuit, you don't have to be accurate to an 1/8 or 1/4 inch. Grab a friend, wear the thickest clothing you might jump in (including jumpsuit), and follow the directions. Measure everything twice to be sure, and a third time if your measurements don't match. Ask around. There are plenty of jumpers who have experience taking measurements.Chuck Akers D-10855 Houston, TX Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
