Free Fly suits

Recommended Posts

Don't buy Kurpee Suits. I did an entire weekend at Eloy... tunnel time and about 25 jumps (with 2 off landings) and it didn't hold up to how I thought it would (i.e. small snags or the elastic on the wrists being off).

I just had Angela from www.freaknsuits.com design me an incredible one for only $240.00. I have heard amazing things about Freak n' Suits so if I were you I'd go that route :-)

Flying in the tunnel is MUCH harder on suits than regular freefall. Suits that can last 1000 jumps will fall apart in just a few hours of tunnel flying. That being said, I love my Ouragan Freefly suit (though it comes with a note that says flying it in the tunnel voids all warranties).

Since I fly in the Orlando tunnel quite often, I had Angela at Freak N Suit make me a tunnel suit that I've put a couple hours on... tons of lift, and minimal drag! B|

Cheers!

Firefly suits for me. I used to sew, and the quality of workmanship literally had me with dropped jaw examining my suit after I got it. My rw suit from another company was great and what I expected, but my Firefly massively exceeded my expectations, including personalized customer service. That said, the suit with the most jumps on it was inexpensive, made by a local and worked just great. Better it taking the butt landings and grass stains early on. Save your money for a nice suit when you've got a few more jumps. In other words, don't buy a Ferrari if you're just learning to drive. Make your mistakes on something cheaper.

I have mine for the last 300 jumps, with a hardcore stupid tall corn landing, some even more stupid knee slides, 4 washing (yeah, i know, my woman controls my life), and it still loks and feels like new...

Make sure to check his on-line suit designer (it's mighty cool!).
