basehoundsam 0 #1 November 24, 2002 Just got my new BASE pants....... wow...... amazing how much faster on a skydive they go.... I'ld say about 20 percent faster at least. Tried em off the local 1000 foot antenna..... could tell that they definitely inflate... but not sure how much distance they helped track in 6 seconds..... I'll try again tonight..... On a two way tracking dive, I completely blew by my partner, and was side slipping at 90 degrees past him to bleed off speed as he was maxing out. Now this guy is a twig and built for tracking. Normally I am trying to catch him the entire time. I had more float, forward, and general range, than he could handle. He's ordering a set tomorrow...... Just my .02 cents......

andrewstewart 0 #5 January 12, 2003 My understanding is that the BASE version has two sets of vents to aid faster inflation in sub-terminal air. Also the positioning of vents is different: the freefly ones have vents on both sides for back tracking as well as belly tracking. - Andrew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
