Love my firefly suits

Rated by: txlottowinner on 2008-01-31 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: tough suits and quality construction
Cons: none , I wish I had another one for swooping

Sherri once again hits the nail on the head with my firefly suit. I even ordered another for slower flying because my first one holds up so well. Getting one out is often a planned process(better order it ahead of time), but when it comes in it is like christmas day. I have absolutely trashed mine sliding in hot and dipping it a few time in the pond and all I do is just throw it in the washing machine and its as good as new. No color fades and the coolmax liner(recomended if you live south of hell like myself in houston)keeps the suit from sticking to me in the hot humid summer. Just take a look at the stiching if someone you know has one,and its not hard to understand why this suit is built to last. It's also at a great price, even with custom work additions compared to other manufacturers, which seem to severely bump their price for a few addons. I love my firefly suit, and it's funny, I seem to see more and more here in texas, guess there's a pretty good reason for that!

Can't make delivery times, can't make it the size and fit requested

Rated by: headoverheels on 2007-12-28 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: Construction is good
Cons: Slow delivery, not as requested, not good fit

I ordered my freefly suit to fit pretty tight, as I'm 5'10" and under 140 pounds. Not only was the delivery much longer than promised, it was not a trim cut. So too slow and too much floppy material. The arms are also a bit long, as are the legs, but the real oversize is the torso length, which is much too long. The torso length would not so critical for skydiving, since the legstraps pull up the slack, but with no rig (for the tunnel) it just hangs on me. It seems that their philosophy is just make it too big and hope for no complaint, rather than make it fit and risk making it too small.

Firefly freefly suit, good construction NO customer service

Rated by: boz2841 on 2007-07-11 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: Nice quality construction
Cons: What customer service?

I originally ordered my suit in April after reading many reviews and forums in decided on Firefly due to their reputation. I had a local tailor take measurements for me with the measurement guide from the Firefly website. And since receiving the jumpsuit have double checked the measurements I provided against remeasuring myself. The measurements I provided were correct! the suit I received on the other hand is so far off measurement-wise I truly doubt that they even used my measurements at all. The legs are a good 5 inches too long the arms are a good 2 inches too long the crotch is at least 3 inches too low and the waist is a bit on the tight side. I have tried repeatedly to contact anyone at Firefly to resolve this issue however the only reply I received was a letter stating the pictures I provided were not good enough to tell the suit fit incorrectly. To which I provided several more photos each with the same response untill now in July they have totally stopped responding to me at all. As far as the photos I provided not being enough to tell that the suit does not fit properly I would think and hope that maybe a company would take a customers word for it when that say something is wrong with their order. Anyway I am extremely disappointed with this company and will warn everyone I know not to use them.
I will admit the suit itself does seem to be of good quality but I will never truly know as I am unable to wear my $250 suit in the condition it is in. I have however taken it to my tailor to see what they can do about the sizing. Of course this means I have to dish out more cash. PS I only gave them a rating of 2 instead of a one cause it does seem to be decent quality if you get one that fits.

2 piece Freefly Suits

Rated by: fastfallrigging on 2006-04-16 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: Build quality, delivery time & customer service
Cons: Wash requirements

I saw a couple of Firefly Suits and was impressed, so I ordered one for myself - mainly for use on tandems. I was so impressed with the suit when It arrived that I ordered a further 18 suits for the Royal Navy Demonstration Parachute Team. Throughout, Sherry was MORE than helpful. The only dowside that I found was mostly due to me making a mistake in not reading the garment care label. My suit is navy blue with red/white stripes. I washed the pants on the coolest, most gentle wash on my machine... The white stripes went a yucky purple - I called Sherry, ordered a new set of white striping and set about un-picking the now purple ones... Boy! does she build them good! The new strips arrived a couple of days later. A LOT of unpicking and a bit of sewing later, my suit is looking good as new.
Thanks Sherry!! GREAT SUITS! (Just remember to dry clean 'em!)

Buying team suits now!

Rated by: mindway69 on 2005-03-10 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: Customer service, quality, fit.
Cons: None.

My husband and I bought our firefly freefly suits about two and a half years ago. Sherry was awesome and the suits were going to be ready for an important trip 4 weeks away without a rush charge! Then, when a piece of their equipment broke and delayed the suits being done, Sherry got them done and sent them to us overnight at no extra charge to make sure we got them for our trip.

The suits fit perfectly and I ended up putting about 600-800 jumps on mine. The stitching is in great condition and the suit has held up beautifully. I have even had a few rough landings that probably should have damaged the suit, but didn't!

Now I am ordering custom team freefly suits and Sherry has been as great as I remembered, every step of the way. Really looking forward to getting the suits in about two weeks!
