Competition RW suit
Rated by: ianw on 2005-11-07 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Well made. Excellent service
Cons: None so far

I have just flown my Symbi RW suit for the first time and I'm thrilled with it. The quality of workmanship is high and it is very comfortable to wear.
The customer service was faultless- I was given sound advice on the choice of colour, and the suit arrived within 4 weeks of ordering. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to buy symbiosis again.

jumps per suit 110
Rated by: reddevil1 on 2005-05-13 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: shop next to dz
Cons: booties wear out quickly zips break, stiching breaks

In my opinion, Symbi charge too much to alter the suits, hence don't eat to much.

Good suits
Rated by: chasser on 2005-02-02 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Good fit, helpful service with good advice
Cons: Fashions change every 10 years or so & I have to buy another...

Been jumping Symbi suits for many years, and never tempted to go elsewhere.
Always been a good fit, useful advice on offer if required, wide range of suit styles, even wider range of dodgy jokes...

Symbi FS competition suit - review
Rated by: Maffa on 2005-02-02 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Functional, hard wearing, look great too
Cons: Booties need shoe goo

The FS competition suit has been developed with a lot feedback from competitors and the current model has a comfortable fit, great grips, more powerful booties and is very hard wearing.

I demand a lot from my suit, as do most serious competitors, and the Symbi competition suit works for me (my last suit did circa 800 jumps and tens of tunnel hours and is still intact – and still fits). I did get a small hole in a shoulder seam after 1 season - one phone call and it was turned round within a week.

Booties do take a hammering, especially running on back-to-back loads when time is very tight – the easy answer is a tube of shoe goo and 1/2 hour of your time when they are new – this makes them indestructible.

I would (and have) recommended these suits to other competitors and recreational jumpers. If I was going to renew a suit, Symbi would be my first call. The suits are great and the customer service has been excellent – the company is small enough to care.

Any cons? I'd like them to turn faster and stop harder, but I think that might be the operator rather than the machine......:-)

Jumpsuits
Rated by: DTCM on 2005-01-31 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Very well made and hard wearing.
Cons: Bulky with the thick competition grips.

I have been using Symbiosis Suits now for 25 years. I am a professional and demand high quality and hard wearing suits as I am using them every day. I have a range of Symbiosis Suits for different fall rates.

I would recommend Symbiosis highly for a beginner or a professional. They have been producing quality, innovative design, excellent fit, competitive price and durability in their suits for many years.

Symbi FS suit review.
Rated by: DB-UK on 2005-01-31 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Well made, good fit (as longs as you get your measurements right), great customer service.
Cons: You get what you pay for. So not the cheapest suit.

Symbiosis make a great FS suit. As a team jumper my suit gets a lot of wear and tear (hundreds of jumps a year and a lot of wind tunnel hours). The suits are comfortable but tough and last well. Fit is good - well, they'll make it to fit just the way you want so it should be. Just make sure you get your measurements right ! Any repairs or modifications are turned around quickly and efficiently.

Symbiosis review
Rated by: Beautemps on 2005-01-30 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Consistent quality
Cons: Heavy demand can result in waiting time

I have 4 Symbi Suits ... (4/8 way, world Team etc.) I've had no problems with Zips or stitching. Booties do wear out if you trail them across Arizonan deserts, but that's a function of physics rather than design. I ring up Symbi, they make it, I put it on and I jump. That's about as complicated as I want ordering a suit to be!

Symbiosis FS suits.
Rated by: Kevinhardw on 2005-01-30 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Symbiosis FS Suit in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Look cool, good fit, large choice of colours and materials.
Cons: Everything wears out eventually.

I have been using Symbi suits for more than 20 years, the fact that I a still using them must mean I am well satisfied customer. I have never had a suit that didn't fit, if your measurements are accurate it fits! The suit I still use most is my '93 team suit, yes the knee have been repaired, too much packing and the booties too, but hey thats a lot of freefall.
