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

Pros: Colors were good
Cons: Suit was made wrong and they wouldn't fix it!

I ordered a Merlin suit and payed $300 for what I thought would be custom made suit. That's why they have you take measurements right? The suit was nearly 3 inches to big all around the top of the torso, in the chest area and the upper back. The length was also wrong by about 2 inches in the torso!! I checked and double checked all my measurements, and had my manager at our drop zone (who has over 16000 jumps, many years in the sport and lots of experience ordering suits for people) check my measurements as well. The measurements were right. We took pictures of the suit on me and sent it to Merlin. They told me "we can't guarantee the suit fits unless we take the measurements." A custom suit company not guaranteeing custom suits, and not altering them if they are incorrect is crazy when you pay $300 for a new suit. I ended up paying almost another $100 to get the suit altered in many places so that it would fit correctly. I was very unhappy with the service and will never buy anything from them again, and do not reccommend Merlin suits.

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

Pros: slim cut nice on transitions awesome quality
Cons: tight in bottom

I loved my merlin suit so much that I just ordered a second one...got a little whacky with the design and they only upped the price 80 bux! love this company

Thanks to Leland sticking in his order at the same time, I got my Merlin in 4 weeks!

I love the quality but I felt it was tight in my bum...I asked for the slimmer cut and got it and was like woah...thats slim cut...so as a result I have to work for my slower speeds, but at the same time the transitions get zero float :)

Cheers Merlin

Good, but slow.

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

Pros: Quality
Cons: Speed.

I've now got two Merlin suits, a freefly one and I just received my camera suit.

The quality of construction is excellent, with all seams double or tripple stiched, and a quality lining. Both suits fly well.

I would rate Merlin a solid '5', except I've found delivery time is exceptionally slow. The camera suit I just received took nearly 12 weeks to ship. It was a very long wait.

Merlin used to be cheaper then its compeditors, however this is no longer the case. Unless I get assurances of a reasonable guaranteed delivery date, I would consider alternatives.
