Supergeil 0 #1 February 27, 2004 Just received my S3 from Birdman it fits very nice except from the wrists they are very tight I can hardly put a pair of gloves under it.And when i do the zippers are very difficult to close. Is it supposed to be like that I think better performance etc.? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LouDiamond 1 #3 February 27, 2004 If you didn't measure with gloves on or add an inch to allow for gloves then the wrists will be tight. I would try a different pair of gloves or forgo them completely if they make it too hard to clsoe your zippers."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cpoxon 0 #6 February 27, 2004 Is it the 'gauntlets' of the gloves that are causing problems? i.e with winter gloves, the elacticated woollen part that extends from the cuff? If so, can you turn them over onto your hands (being carefull not to obscure your altimeter and not to affect your grip on anything) so that the cuff of the wingsuit is touching the cuff of the glove but there is no bulk within the suit arm?Skydiving Fatalities - Cease not to learn 'til thou cease to live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I did get it measured by a BM dealer and we did put extra on the measurements because I heard some of the suits were too tight and I wanted to be able to put a sweatshirt etc under the suit. I jumped it today and see now that i must send it back to get it done. Sad because I live in Denmark and will not see my baby for a coupel of weeks then Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
