I did Le PAC (AFF) out in France a few weeks ago - I did 30 Jumps in 10 days so you can imagine my thighs were pretty raised and purple/green. Some suggested to tighten the harness Some said loosen it A hard opening is going to cause brusing whether loose or tight. The best tip for under canopy pain release I got was to slide the thigh straps towards your knees slightly so you are in a more "sitting" position - it relieved so much pain. I havent had any troubles with landing in that position either because you can just slide foward out of the sitting position.

how do you work out the "1" ratio for canopy size? I am 161lbs what do I need to add to work out the minimum canopy size? Thank you

I am looking at buying a relative work suit / competition suit. Icarus are very cheap but I have heard mixed reviews. I know you get what you pay for but I think symbiosis suits are pricey. Are there any other bargains out there? Michigan, Bevs, Tony etc would appreciate any/all advice. cheers
