DaMan 0 #1 September 19, 2003 Just curious if anyone is doing anything "special" for their wing suit transportation and storage needs...dedicated gear bag, duffle, etc. Someone asked me if the suit needed to be kept under any special conditions; seems like it ought to be treated like a canopy (same material, right?) as far as storage, but it got me thinking about the best method for transport... Any helpful ideas out there - what do you do with yours?Z-Flock 8 Discotec Rodriguez Too bad weapons grade stupidity doesn't lead to sterility. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #2 September 20, 2003 I leave my suit attached to my rig as I have a dedicated Birdman rig and a seperate skydiving rig. I have a seperate gear bag that I use to haul my BM rig in. As far as care of the suit goes, like any piece of equipment, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. I do try to keep it out of direct sunlight as much as possible when it's not being jumped. If my suit isn't on my rig I try to keep all the zippers closed and the cutaway handles mated to the suit to avoid loosing them or damaging the zippers."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VectorBoy 0 #3 September 20, 2003 Whether the wingsuit is on my rig or not, and I own two so one is always not, I store them with the cutaway cables either inserted and secured into their tabs and loops or in a completely different compartment of my gear bag. The reason is that the end of SOME cutaway cable ends have sharp wire sticking out that can damage the ZP the suit is made from. Of course it can be melted and smoothed over but in the case of my leg cutaway end it is continually getting re-abraded. Lately I just keep the respective cutaways on their respective product. With two wingsuits and a freefly tube I would hate to show up at the DZ with the wrong cables Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 259 #4 September 20, 2003 Before I got to Florida mine lived either in the cool little carry bag that came with it, or sewn onto my rig and in my gear bag. Now that I'm here and have the room it's hanging up in the back of the shop. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManBird 0 #5 September 23, 2003 I basically treat mine just like a canopy, plus I zip everything up when it's not in use. If detached from my rig, I keep in rolled up in a gear bag, with the cutaway cables in place."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
