[trippin 0]

I'm going to order one of these suits.Im not sure about the fabric,there cotton, you can pick normal or heavy and should I get it fit baggy or tight?
I'm 5' 6" about 180 out the door,still on student status not sure about fall rates and such thanks for the help..........

Heavy fabric and baggy I think

It's like something out of that twilighty show about that zone

Call and ask. Some heavy materials are fine if they are normal cut while others need the baggy. They should be able to tell you what you need.

The material and cut of a suit determine the amount of drag it will produce and that will affect how fast you fall. Fast fallers use lots of drag to slow them down to a reasonable rate and visa versa.
Choosing the incorrect suit means you will spend too much of your free-fall trying to correct fall-rate problems instead of having fun and learning to fly
You really should ask some of the instructors you've jumped with what your fall rate is like before you order anything and then pass that info onto Kurupee.

5'6" 180, I am sure you are keeping your instructors fall rate pretty quick. Go with the baggy style, us 5'6" 150 folk will appreciate it.

Or if you guys got baggie suits I would have to go HD to match your sit speed of 200mph. That way I could wear a suit, although I know that would piss the Monkey off because he is always trying to de-clothe guys.

All joking aside I actually do find if quite fulfilling to match the speeds while attempting docks.

And Dave, didn't you join the dark side because of the desire to hate all that is holy
