PhillyKev 0 #1 September 12, 2002 Ok, so I'm finally buying a FF suit. Those who have jumped with my fast falling ass will be grateful to hear that. I'm leaning toward Firefly. My question is, what are the drawbacks of a 2 piece suit besides the extra $25? The advantages would be being able to only wear part of it, take off the jacket when packing, or when it's hot, etc. The only disadvantage I could think of is the jacket riding up on you, but is that really an issue? I usually jump in shorts and a long sleeve tshirt, tuck the shirt in and don't have a problem. Do the 1piece and 2 piece styles fly differently?

PhreeZone 20 #2 September 12, 2002 I love my 2 piece. I havea camera suit I sit fly in all the time. Thats way more then the normal amount of creep going on with that much drag.The waist band on the 2 piece is about 6 inch spandex all the way around. I've jumped it not tucked into anything and only once did it creap and that because I was hanging on the wings too much. I love the 2 piece system and at the next paycheck I'm getting a Freefly top to match the pants that i bought with the camera top. I used to have a 1 piece suit but fell in love with the 2 piece after seeing a few people with one on. The only thing on Fireflys is decided how much/if you will be tucking things in or losing/gaining weight. the Closing systems on the pants are either something like Jeans or something like Running pants. Both have plusses and minues.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TALONSKY 0 #3 September 12, 2002 There really is not any draw backs to a two piece suit. I have a Firefly two piece and the jacket will ride up on a stand, so I just tuck the jacket in the pants. I have never had any problems plus you have the option of taking the jacket off. Oh and if you ever rip the pants you can just get another pair. I would highly recommend a two piece suit.

JJohnson 0 #4 September 16, 2002 I got a 2 piece from Da Kine and love it. The only draw back is that I wear the pants more than the top, so eventually the colors will be mis-matched. The pants/top connect by three snaps and do not ride up at all. JJJJ "Call me Darth Balls" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
