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.

Compettion RW Suit
Rated by: torchbat11 (more about me) on 2005-11-13 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1428

Pros: Sturdy construction, great fit, looks sexy
Cons: none yet

I got my suit this week and jumped it this weekend. It flew great, it was an awesome fit and I loved the power in the legs with the mega booties. Padding in the knees also makes it comfortable climbing around inside the plane and if I (knock on wood) don't stand up every landing.
