Check this out!

What's cool is that they have a BASE and skydiving version.

Might have to get me a BASE pair!

Does seem a lot. I was thinking of getting some until I saw that.

Hell, a good pair of freefly plants aren't much less than that.

And for BASE I think it would be money well spent. Any extra clearance from the object would be good (especially with all the cliff strikes we've been seeing lately).

I agree ... that does not sound too bad. Were not talking about some long-underwear you buy from the supermarket, (at least I hope so)

Anyway.. Sounds tempting, Maby I will get the freefly version.

Some of the cliff strikes I read about were people that trying to out track the tallus in the wall. Great, give them a tool that does not work as well as a birdsuit and probally slows the forward drive as well.

I witnessed these leave a tower not too long ago and they WORK...and well...and no loss of forward speed was noted at all....

Im sorry, but Im just amuzed of this american way of thinkin... "It was not my fault , it was the pants"

Next thing they go and sue Birdman´s ass off and win millions...

Same shit happened to my friend when he changed his Porsche to an Opel. He crashed it the
FIRST DAY !! He just couldnt realize that opel doesnt have as much grip on curves as the 911 did...

Now. You think that was the cars fault ?

There are a plenty of bells and whistles on the Pantz, including a heavy-duty quick-snap belt, multiple pockets, a cel phone pocket, double mesh on the ankle cuffs and padded knees.

I have a big cell phone. That sure would be nice in case I land out in the corn.

hmmmm. 235$ for a pair of pants I could probably make myself.

Wouldn't these pantz add a lot of drag when you swoop?

Could you see someone in a dive under canopy when their legs start generating lift?

This wasn't with TrakPantz, right? Being that about half a dozen people have these right now, and all of those people can track like a mother, I seriously doubt the pants were related. On top of which, I've seen these from the ground and the air, and work very well.

I wonder if they'll find some way to incorporate booties...

In talking to Dwayne about the tracking pants, there is extra material around the foot to inflat and cover the front of your foot. This is to give it a similiar effect as booties would. I also agree with Mac, there are very few of these pants out right now and the probablity of these being the pants that the base jumper were waring is very slim.
It is also my understanding that the main target audiance for these pants is base jumpers.
