unclecharlie95 3 #1 February 6, 2007 QuoteTRACKING SUIT The Phoenix-Fly Tracking Suit is the essential piece of equipment for any serious tracker, using ram air technology combined with a unique air inlet design to offer incredible tracking performance! The original PF Pants & Jacket launched in 2004 sparked a revolution in the BASE and skydiving world, 2007 sees the launch of the updated and improved version. http://www.phoenix-fly.com/products/trackingsuit.htm Photo attached.

dbagdrew 0 #4 February 6, 2007 I was just sending e-mails around trying to find out when this was going to come out. I ordered my suit soon after your post. I wonder if I was the first one to order it. I asked around to the locals in my area about the PF tracking suit, and the only negative feedback was that the belt and bootie clips needed to be stronger. Sounds like they fixed those issues. Looks great too. And all for the same price. Sounds good to me!Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge. - Mark Twain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gus 1 #5 February 6, 2007 Looks like a good evolution of the suit, I like the reinforced knees and longer jacket. GusOutpatientsOnline.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The new version does not appear to have any major changes that would appear to affect the ease of flight.

I am curious about the even sweeter PC handle your rig.. which looks like a BASE rig to me. Do you regularly jump that configuration and if so do you worry about death from a pc malfunction? Later Blair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites KrisFlyZ 0 #18 March 19, 2007 Really nice looking suit. Maybe I am not seeing this right...it looks like a standard tube PC(not a single attachment point) with some tape on it. Kris.

Do you regularly jump that configuration and if so do you worry about death from a pc malfunction? I assume you bring this up because it looks like a heavyweight hacky-sack? I actually think it's a regular PVC tube with black tape wrapped around it (perhaps to prevent a finger from getting stuck in it). But I'm sure Drew will chime in here.
