Opinions on RW suits please

Recommended Posts

My Pit Special has fianlly had it after 12 years and a buttload of jumps. I love Tony Suit products and have owned many of them, but I notice they are getting damned expensive.

Can I get a few opinions on RW suits? I'm also looking at Bev's suits. I know a lot of folks that have been very happy with her stuff and her RW suit is noticably less expensive than Tony's.

Your thouhgt????

I bought a comp body suit by flite suit last August and have absolutely loved it...it has articulated knees and booties that kick ass. I bought it after seeing another one at the DZ and I think the quality is better than I've seen on any other jumpsuit. It is a bit expensive but you definitely get a quality built suit.

I have a couple of Bev Suits and Michigan Suits. both suits are fantastic. Irecently just got another Bev Suit.

I am the type of jumper that puts the suits on and keeps them on all day. I do not think you'll go wrong with either company.

Tony suits are the best suits I've owned. I've had four so far.

Michigan suits are pretty good. I got one at a price I couldn't refuse and it's held up well; it's now my favorite bigway suit.

I've had a few problems with Bev Suits. Had two of them so far, and they get occasional usage because they are the right color for some bigways (i.e. if I need a red suit I use the red Bev.) But they do work.

EFS suits were a great deal, but alas they are no more. Those things lasted forever.

Hi chuck,

Since you asked here are my thoughts:

I had a Tony Suit and it was miserable. Way off on the measurements/cut & a ridiculous fabric. I even double checked the measurements with the dealer and neither one of us could figure how they could botch it up so badly.

I have had two BodySport USA jumpsuits made out of their lightest fabric and would swear by them at anytime; with the exception that the company now has a new owner & I do not know about the suits he is making today.

I understand that he is using the same stitcher and software program so things should be the same.

Also, I do not know the new owner ( the previous owner is a personal friend ) so I cannot speak to the time-frame nor service backup.

But give them a looksee and see what you think,

PS) How tall are you & what do you weigh? I might just have an offer 'you can't refuse?'

PPS) Yes, I know that I shouldn't sell anything 'here.'
