skydivingchad 0 #1 November 18, 2003 I have some extra money this week and want to buy myself an altimeter and some good gloves (it's getting way to cold) Where is a good place to get equipment at a good price? Any help would be great. Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. Pelt Head #3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 November 18, 2003 See if your local DZ sells the gear you're looking for. It's always nice to support your local dealers if you can (and they're not trying to rip you off). Otherwise Square1 is good to go.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FrogNog 1 #5 November 18, 2003 Quote Quote *cough* dropshop *cough* As in dropshop . com the DJ store? That's what I thought, but then I tried www.coughdropshopcough.com and it's all good. Seriously, though, "little" things like altimeters don't have a huge price variation, so I also recommend getting it from your DZ if they can get you one you like and they get to keep $10 or even $40. That is, assuming you like your DZ. With gloves, I don't think there is such a thing as a "best skydiving supply store" for them. Some people like scuba gloves, some like nike football gloves, some like all-leather gloves, etc.. Search for posts on best gloves / cold weather gear, and go wherever you have to in order to buy it. My DZ doesn't sell scuba gloves, for example. -=-=-=-=- Pull. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any help would be great. gear is pretty expensive but with gloves a lot of them are from different sports... so you might be able to get them cheaper on a specialised site other than skydiving ones. as gear is so expensive i think i might start up a donate money to me fund... any takers?
