Competition Suit

Item: Competition Suit 
Manufacturer: Michigan Suits   (1549 Hits)
   

Description:
On the outside this suit looks very similar to the Standard Michigan Suit but underneath is where the difference is. Our Competition suit has been wind-tunnel tested for thousands of hours by the Golden Knights who put their suits through between 50 to 100 hours of wind tunnel time per training season. These are the kind of competitors that put their suit on in the morning and don't take it off til sunset. Making 10-15 jumps a day, 800-1000 jumps a season.

Michigan Suit Solves Floating Problems
Rated by: elightle (more about me) on 2006-10-20 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1680

Pros: Very well-made
Cons: Booties need narrowed a bit for shorter jumpers

I wanted other lightweights to know how much my Michigan Suit has helped with my floating and overall control. I still have to wear lead but not as much. And I get positive response when I move. On fun 4-ways I like to fly outside center and set things up for the group. I can turn on a dime now and adjust altitude easier and feel totally in control. That's all I wanted to say. Blue Skies!

Pros: Quick order,excellent fall rate.awesome stability
Cons: none

Called mike about 3 weeks before I was going to florida and when I arrived I drove to flagler beach and picked it up.It's very well built and as im a big jumper 270lbs I needed a suit that would slow me down.He added lots of material and a nice set of wings with swoop cord.On my first jump with a coach at lake whales i was falling rock stable,I was able to dock on my couch with lots of time left.This suit has made so much difference in the way i can fly.Thanks Mike I'll be calling for another suit soon just because I love the awesome colors and the quality of your product!! P.S You were right Mike the wat the booties catch air I track flat and fast as a mofo lol

Michigan Suits are great
Rated by: matthewcline (more about me) on 2005-09-20 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1128

Pros: A tough, durable, good looking Suit!
Cons: none

I have been jumping a Michigan Comp suit since late 1998. I have owned 3 personnal suits and 6 "work" suits. I have used suits from other makers as it was part of my "work" but always went back to the Michigan Suit. Another maker sent me a suit to use for free when I was in the market for another personnal suit, but after it started to have workmanship issues I chose to buy another Michigan suit. In my opinion; I would rather spend my money on a Michigan Suit than get a free suit I was not comfortable with. 20 Sept 05 I just got another Comp suit with the padde booties. I chose the blunt edge instead of the knife edge (Mike said it would complement my flying style better), I could not agree more! The suit is powerful and fast turning! I now have to think STOP well before I used too! It is very tough and fits very well. I will spend my money out of my pocket on Michigan Suits even if I can get free ones while on teams.
