I suggest that you get a jumpsuit with a poly-cotton chest and baggy sleeves. I use nylon sleeves with a set of cotton pull-over sleeves. That gives me more range choices. Also, a nice set of swoop cords will do wonders. Look at the fabric choices. Nylon is not your friend. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites hukturn 0 #38 April 1, 2007 I go about 230 without gear at 5'10 these days. I can typically do well with fall rates until late in the day when everyone starts getting a little lazy. Or, I encounter the 125 pound dude with an ego who says "I don't need weights". I also have a harder time on some DZ's where fall rates are slower. My home DZ has always been pretty quick. Of course, I will admit that my best skydiving is when I am at about 210 pre-jump weight. BTW - with these weights, I use a Michigan compsuit with no wing. I think that you don't need a baggy jumpsuit. You just need to find people who understand that skydiving is easier for everyone with a brisk fallrate. More air passing your body means that minimal movements have greater reactions. When I was hitting 20 and 40 ways hard at 210 pounds, I was often strapping on 6 - 8 pounds.

I weigh around 220 and almost everyone I jump with is about half my size which makes it a little hard to do RW's. We can make it work by me cupping air and others sometimes using weight vests but what a pain. Don't get me wrong, I have been busting my ass on losing weight (30lbs so far) but I doubt if I will ever be under 200lbs. Sometimes feels like a lot of pressure is put on you for being a big person, is this the overall concensus or should it really matter! Anyway....I am glad to be in the air any possible moment I get. Stay safe everyone and Blue Skies!!
