Jumpsuits

[Alittleoff 0]

I just got my A license and I'm looking to buy a jumpsuit. Someone told me about a suit that has flat grippers instead of the traditional ones. Anyone know about this? Or can people recommend any jumpsuits that would be good for RW and down the line beginner free fly?

If I were you I would expect to buy two suits eventually. There really isn't any good suit for both freefly and RW. Right now you should just get an RW suit and later on when you want to freefly buy a freefly suit.

youll soon find out that anything thats meant to do two things will usually do them but not as well as one suit made for each discipline. For RW a suit with booties is a huge help. Im just ahead of you with only 60 jumps and im learning how helpful the booties are!! But you cant freefly with booties. You have plenty of time!! hopefully youlll be skydiving for years to come!!

Wait , I pull what first?

Start with an RW suit and build your belly skills. If you decide to start freeflying later, you can get a freefly suit at that time.

I fly a Bev Suit and have been very happy with it. Tony Suits also make a great product. I'm pretty sure that flat grippers is an option that you can get on either suit. Contact the companies and they can answer any questions you have.

don't be a wuss -

big chunky grippers (full set, including inside the legs)
full size booties
