Dear Russel, We wish you a quick recovery. from Kenya Regards John (Kenya, East Africa)

Dear All, I recently purchased a PF suit but when originally measuring myself forgot to do so over the top of body armour which as I found out makes a substantial difference to the fit of the suit. I contacted RP of PF who immediately offered to exchange it for a "Large" suit which I'm now waiting to receive. In summary: I can't comment on flying the suit but when measuring yourself do consider all under garments and especially armour. Secondly, due to my negligence I needed exceptional after sales service and RP provided it. Regards John (Kenya, East Africa)

I am a relative newcomer with 31 base jumps and jump PII velcro rigs with Ace and BJ. I have a PF suit arriving any day now and intend to use it later this year in Norway. I have read a lot on these suits and believe that a good tracker can approach the distance and speed of an entry level WS flyer. If this is the case then does a PF suit flyer need to jump a WS type rig i.e. pins and no corners? Regards John (Kenya, East Africa)

We have two sets of this armour here in Kenya. We originally found that the chest armour rides right up to the chin when raising the arms for an exit or for grabbing toggles etc. We also found that the lycra top was to short in the torso and somewhat uncomfortable. We modified one set by removing all of the armour and pads etc and then re-attached them to a custom designed smock type shirt. The smock is longer than the original lycra top and we also had the arm sockets cut differently so as it doesn't ride up. We haven't tried it yet but will upate as soon as we have.

We have never posted before, please excuse us if we get it wrong. The Base community in Kenya (all two of us) would like to thank Tom for the many times that he has given us in depth, expert advice without ever having met us. Regards John & Mark Regards John (Kenya, East Africa)
