Item: Competition RW  Manufacturer: Merlin Suits   (1750 Hits)     Description: Our Competition Suit is wonderful for the current and active jumpers looking for a great suit, which not only fits their needs, but also is reasonably price. The Comp. Suit comes with both inseam and outer leg grippers that are slightly larger then the RW Suit. Grippers are made from cordura, as are the booties and bum. There is a soft padding in the knees and reinforcing across the leg grippers. Added: 2002-05-05 | Item ID: 368

Merlin Suits' most happy customer
Rated by: Twinflower (more about me) on 2008-10-07 14:15:41 (user reviews) Review ID:2079

Pros: absolutely none
Cons: *excellent* service, great fit, feels really good, withstands rough use with ease

I just got my second suit today, and the service I was provided from Ulla (owner/desginer) was way out of all bounds from what's expected. I told her that I needed the suit before an important boogie, and she really worked her ass off to get it done in time and ship it across the world in only three days. Her service was hands down fantastic, and I can recommend Merlin suits to simply everyone. Now, the suit itself. As it's custom tailored, it fits my perfectly. The different fabrics are put together in a clever way to make it both fast and tough at the same time. Also, the seems are really solid. The booties are stretched, and has never come of my shoes. They are also easy to put on and take off. The grips are firm and gives other jumpers a really good grip. The zipper opens the suit all the way down to the crotch, which makes it easy to take on and off. Well, I'm super happy with my merlin suits. I really have no cons, be it the suits or the company :)

The suits good
Rated by: RossDagley (more about me) on 2006-10-01 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1660

Pros: Perfect fit, loads of options, fast delivery
Cons: Build quality could be better

My first ever suit, so didn't know what I was looking for. Merlin were great - spent a long time on the phone talking to me knowing I was new to the sport, but not treating me like an idiot. Very helpful. Arranded shipping to another DZ the other side of the world just to tie in with a holiday of mine. Awesome. The suits good - reinforced bum and knees (both of which I surely needed as my first suit!) but the stiching and zip are pretty weak - the suit split at the back where the elasticated material meets the cotton fabric in the lower back area after about 30 jumps - I emailed Merlin and they said simply restitching it would be ok. Then after about 6 hours in the tunnel the zip stiching broke - the zip appears to have only been attached by one thread from top to bottom on each side so rubbing on the tunnel net killed it sharpish. I've since had a local seamstress replace the zip and upgrade the stitching to sort this. Overall, a nice suit with very helpful staff over at Merlin. Just take it steady in the tunnel, or maybe talk it over with Merlin to see if they cant reinforce it before hand :)

Best RW suit I've ever seen.
Rated by: jumpnaked69 (more about me) on 2005-11-17 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1431

Pros: Great fitting, Fantastic Construction, Fast Delivery Times, Great Customer Service
Cons: None so far!

I absolutely love my new Merlin suit. I asked for a rush order and got it in four weeks time! It fits great, looks great, flies great, and from the heftiness of the suit, it should last me Forever. I have no complaints about this suit or Merlin's customer service. They were always easily accessible and happy to help. I highly recommend this suit to anyone.
