GQ_jumper 4 #1 December 5, 2006 I just got a new Tony RW suit, it's the ZP nylon front with spandex back and forearms, just wondering if any of this material is known to shrink in the wash, I don't think the nylon would but maybe someone out there knows something I don't and I can't remember if my last one shrank down a bit when I first put it in the wash.

za_skydiver 0 #2 December 5, 2006 I wash mine in a cold wash and then hang it up to dry in the bathroom, or somewhere suitable away from direct sunlight.Some dream of flying, i live the dream... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #3 December 5, 2006 Nylon and heat don't mix. Like above use Cold water and for drying, Air only, or hang it up in the shower for a few hours, then in the bed room so you and your SO can marvel at it all night. I have a 10 year old Michigan suit and it only seemed to shrink in the ass. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
