Excellent Suit
Rated by: outlawphx (more about me) on 2005-10-14 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1406

Pros: Quality, Price, Delivery Time
Cons: Nada

When shopping for a freefly suit, I looked at most of the manufacturers, and I quickly narrowed it down to Body Suit, Flite Suit, Firefly, and Michigan. I liked the reputation of Flite Suit, but it was the most expensive and had a 6 week delivery time with no rush available. Firefly also had a great reputation and low price, but they were backed up 8 weeks or more. Body Suit had a good delivery time and low price, but I wasn’t very impressed with the quality of their RW suits and had heard their freefly suits were built similarly. I couldn’t find anyone that had anything but good things to say about Michigan Suits, and I’ve seen Michigan RW suits that were very well built. On top of that, the price was right and the quoted standard delivery time was only 2-3 weeks. I called and talked to Mike Michigan about what I wanted before I ordered, and he was very friendly and helped me decided what cut and material I should use based on my shorts & t-shirt fallrate. The suit only took 3 weeks from order to delivery. It fits great, and it looks really well built. The double Velcro closures on the wrists and ankles were standard and look bulletproof. All of the seams are finished on the inside and outside, so I’m sure this suit will last. I've owned RW suits from Bev Suit, Tony Suit, Flite Suit, and Body Sport, and this is the best built suit I've owned.

Michigan Freefly Suit
Rated by: bodhibody (more about me) on 2005-08-28 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1365

Pros: Perfect fit, built to last, looks great...
Cons: None

Suit fit like a glove, I was amazed. Looks like it will last a long time. Very well made, sturdy construction. Best suit I have seen on the market. Some other considerations...company has been in business for many years, lots of experience making suits. Owner is the founder of freestyle skydiving, his suit is used by the founder of freeflying, Olav Zipser...enough said.

Freefly Suit
Rated by: CISSCO101 (more about me) on 2005-05-13 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1286

Pros: Workmenship
Cons: None

I have been buying Michigan suits for over five years and have gone thru different styles and colors and the Michigan suit has never let me down no matter what kind of skydiving I am doing. The last no matter the punishment you give them. The fit and the flyability of any of the Michigan suit mades it a must check out on my books.I will continue to purchase Michigan suits in the future.
