it's a super nice suit, quite tight, resistant, lots of drag with little turbulence. I also consider the manufacturer as a friend, and also someone I completely trust for business/money matters.
I have firefly freefly pants and a camera jacket, a liquid sky freefly suit, and a DaKine Rags freefly suit. I use each of them for different purposes.
Ive jumped plenty of differnt suits over the years, being pretty dissapointed with many on the above list and I can honestly say Boogieman suits are the best Ive flown in.
comfort, durability and great style. without a doubt the best suits for freeflying!!

Second that. Boogieman is the way forward. I suppose they're not on the list since they're not American.
I like the way they measure you - you put on a "template" suit, and they measure how much they need to take in / let out at what points. It's so much more likely to fit when it's been made. Also the build quality is awesome, as is the styling. Best excuse I've ever had to spend all day just hanging around the DZ, pretending to look cool.
Find someone local that makes a good suit. Then you have measuring "in person", they likely know how you fly, likely even more willing to do clever and interesting patterns, quicker delivery, etc etc etc etc
I got my Boogieman suit last month. The fit and style are superb. They are not cheap, I paid 380 Euros but I am very happy with how the suit performs (I'm still adapting to having to fly stronger than with my Flitesuit). The Sonic suits are also nice and slightly cheaper but the style of Boogieman suits sets them apart (for me anyway).
Boogieman. I tried 3 or 4 suits, and have seen pretty much everything on the market over the course of a year or so. In the end, the ones i liked best were Sonic, Ouragan and Boogieman
Ouragan - really nice but WAY overpriced, and do not last any better than the other two Sonic - Good, not too expensive, Bogieman - No faults whatsoever, hardwearing, some good features and nice styling too - and Fabien is a good guy who will work closely with you to get you what you want.
I looked at boogieman and they look sweet but I'll be damned if I will ever pay that much for a FF suit. All Firefly for me baby. High quality very very reasonable price.
I've got a flite suit.. that was the local suit. So local that my old home shared a wall with the place where they make them. My flite suit and pants have held up really good.
For my next suit I will probably get a firefly. I just think that they look really good and from what I've observed they seem to hold up fine.
