Nice Freefly Pants
Rated by: pccoder on 2004-02-22 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: Well Made
Cons: LONG delivery time, High Priced

I placed my order at ZHills on a Sunday, got measured, picked my material and colors. Called several times over the next 8 or 9 weeks. Finally received my pants around 9 1/2 weeks after my order.

I am satisfied with the pants, but I probably will not purchase another pair of them because I really wanted them for summer and didn't get them until summer was practically over. Speed things up at the manufactoring plant. Especially for $190 !!

Great tandem master pants

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

Pros: Easy
Cons: None

I get more leg control out of these then RW suits with booties. Great for the summer when all you need is a t-shirt and these pants. My delivery time was 5 days.

Merlin Freefly Pants
Rated by: aero04 on 2003-08-16 (user profile) (user reviews)

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

Pros: look of product, workmanship
Cons: delivery times

I was very impressed with the workmanship of my freefly pants. They look great and fly well. All stitching is very neat and secure. However, they are very slow with delivery times. I waited four and a half months for delivery of my pants. After a couple of months I had to return them for a small alteration (the waist was a little too large). I finally got the pants back after two months and a few phone calls and numerous emails. When I look into another jumpsuit, I will look elsewhere.

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

Pros: fly well, fit well, look good
Cons: see text

I've had these freefly pants for about 2 years now, and I think they're great. Used to jump a Michigan freefly suit, but now I really prefer these freefly pants with a long sleeve T-shirt on top. I have good control with this combination, both head-down and sit or stand flying, with a good range of fall rates. My only quibble (and this is really minor) is that the plastic keeper on the drawstring doesn't hold tight enough, and the waistband loosens enough to let my T-shirt flap when sit-flying. I fix that simply by tying a knot in the drawstring. Again, this is a really minor point, these pants are really great. They're also holding up pretty well, after 2 years of use they look good as new.
