Item:	Pantz
Manufacturer:	Bird-Man Suits (1111 Hits)

Description:
The BirdMan Pantz are a revolutionary new skydiving pant design that allows you to achieve greater forward speed and lift. This is mainly because the Pantz have an air inlet system that lets air in causing the legs to inflate and become a larger, more rigid surface. This means more leg power for you.<P>

While the Pantz's specialty is going forward fast (meaning lift), they work great for sit and head down too. AFF and tandem instructors wanting more leg power also benefit from this design. Tandem instructors may want to take advantage of the “reinforced backside” option. This is an extra piece of Cordura that is sewn over the butt area for those intentional or not-so-intentional butt slide landings. The Cordura comes in black only.<P>

There are two versions of the Pantz to choose from: BirdMan Pantz (freefly) and BirdMan BASE Pantz. The freefly version has air inlets on the front and back of the lower leg area - for belly or backtracking. The BASE version has inlets on the front only but has additional inlets on the upper thigh for quicker inflation. They also have extra, heavy-duty fabric on the knee and a slightly higher waistband.

Good Fun Jumping Pantz but Lack the Power of the PF Pants

Rated by: mbondvegas (more about me) on 2007-01-24 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1734

Pros: Tough; Added Forward Drive; Kind of Stylish
Cons: Not nearly as powerfull as the PF Tracking Pants

BM Pantz are well constructed and seem to be built for lots of jumps (be it from planes or fixed objects). Mine have a ton of jumps on them and I like them for fun jumps and as something to throw on for H&P's but if I'm looking for pure tracking performance...I reach for my PF tracking suit. I do wear my Pantz a lot though. The can easily be worn on normal fun jumps and definitely provide you with better drive than most jumpsuits.

300 dives with Birdman Freefly Pantz.....

Rated by: Tonto (more about me) on 2005-09-23 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1386

Pros: Build quality, function, looks
Cons: None

I've had my Pantz for 14 months. Apart from when I jump my Skyflier 3, I've worn them on every other jump. I do mainly AFF, and in Pantz with a sweatshirt or T shirt, I have a range measured on my Neptune of between 95mph and 143 mph - all on my belly. They give huge leg power on those early AFF linked exits when the student doesn't arch as taught. I'm not a very good freeflier, but they manage a sit just fine, and are cool for head down. And after 300 dives, not one loose thread. Without a doubt - they are money very well spent. t

Tracking CAN be more fun!

Rated by: bkdice (more about me) on 2004-03-15 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:958

Pros: fun, functional, and well made
Cons: none - well - maybe price is a little hard to swallow

I never thought it could be more fun than it already was. I love tracking! Well, I bought a pair of these awesome Pantz so that I could go play with my boyfriend that had a pair already. We went out on my test jump and it was incredible. These Pantz are FAST - even with minimal effort. We had a blast! I've gotten several friends to demo them too and all have LOVED them! After the fun tracking jumps, we went out for some freefly fun in them (they are the freefly version). They flew AWESOME. They gave me a wide range of speed and control that I haven't felt with other freefly pants. They were very easy to fly in. A+ The other awesome thing about them is the way they fit. They sit a little low on me and are form fitting in the hips and seat. I like it! Pantz that make me feel sexy! Yeah! Overall, very cool product. I highly recommend you at least try them. If you do, you'll probably want to buy them. :-)
