Nylon suit vs. cotton suit

[Royd 0]

I recently got my new Michigan fast fall RW suit.

Previously I was using a cotton suit that fit me nicely.
Now that I've flown in the new suit, I feel like I'm the one in control, as opposed to fighting to get into position during the whole freefall.

Does the material and fit really make that big of a difference?

the fit does more than anything, so does booties that inflate smoothly - you'd rather fly your body rather than try to fly a suit -

flapping material is the bane of good flying

If the new suit is faster, then you are flying in a different body position compared to the old suit. If the old suit required a really fast body position to get the speed you needed to get the right fall rate, then it makes sense that you feel more in control. I would think that thick cotton will flap less than nylon.

People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am

Yes, it really does.
