Large Wing Camera Suit
Rated by: Fuzzy on 2002-07-23 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Camera Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: The wing attachment point (large wing) on the inside of the leg is easy to
Cons: The Velcro from the leg attachment up the wing kept coming loose in freefal

I have made 1200+ jumps on my suit and it's still going strong.

What I like best is the bottom wing attachment point being on the inside of the leg, making it extremely effective. Even with an exit weight varying from 220 to 230lbs, there is yet to be a tandem, student, or formation too slow or fast to follow. I like to video from below and at a steep angle, this has never been a problem with this suit.

The wings are easy to release on opening, with just a quick snap & no velcro to peel. I also feel this design "reduces" although does not eliminate the chance of the wing covering the hackey on my b.o.c. on deployment as it's further forward on the body.

Once the velcro adjusting straps on the bottom of the wings were adjusted to my likeing, I had to sew them permanently together, as they would come undone in freefall. This was definitely a problem at first, however this style of adjustment allows you to get the wing exactly as you want them.

I have purchased 3 suits (Camera / RW / & 3 piece FreeFly)from Bev, the service has always been excellent, fast and friendly, with a perfect fit and good quality everytime.
