monkycndo 0 #2 September 26, 2008 The Pr2 is vastly superior to the Pr1. The arm wing and leg wing is nicely balanced and the inflation is solid. The new wing release clips are super easy to use and they won't come loose. I have two for students and put one on every once in a while for fun.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

peggs82 0 #4 September 26, 2008 I know that you were specifically asking about the prodigy 2, but I almost have to ask why? The phantom 2 is a fantastic first suit, which we use at Zhills for first flights. I would much rather see someone spend their money on a suit you will use much more successfully! If you still want a prodigy type suit I also would also have to mention the tony suit intro. The price is less AND he'll buy it back from you and put that money towards your next suit from him!! edit to add..sorry missed the BASE part of it... I'll punt that one to James then!!

monkycndo 0 #5 September 26, 2008 One benefit for base is that the Pr2 has no booties. If the exit point is slippery, having the soles of your shoes fully exposed is a plus.50 donations so far.

We've done some comparison between the two so I might share my opinions. The two suits are totally different suits to begin with. P2 has much longer legwing and inflatable ram air arm wings (where P1 has single surface arm wings). I cannot comment on the performance part, between us there isn't that much difference on the performance but then again I'd think that a really good P2 flyer would outfly a really good P1 flyer. On skydiving we've done some flocking jumps with my friends flying V1's and V2's and the prodigy seems to work there as well pretty good. I'd say there is a choice you have to make, wether you want a tool for BASE which will work in skydiving as well or a skydiving suit that you can BASE jump as well. If you primarly want a BASE suit, I'd say go with Prodigy. Either one, P1 or P2, you can get your hands one. Both will keep you happy there for long time. They are amazing BASE suits and offer comfort in sketchy exits and tight flights like no other suit in the market. If you want a flocking suit, I'd say go with Phantom etc and accept the fact that you do not have the "perfect" starting suit in BASE. I know there are plenty of people who have done their first WS BASE jumps in bigger suits but personally I think the Prodigy is the tool for the job. Lat summer I flew V1 but still occasionally like to fly the Prodigy, it's just that good of a suit. Prodigys rule!http://www.ufufreefly.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peggs82 0 #10 September 29, 2008 Quote Glad to see everyone at Z Hills is still drinking the Tony Suit Kool Aid. haha well it's sooooo tasty! I hope that my opinions are atleast a little objective to you all. You'll note I mentioned the Phantom over the Prodigy (as I believe it is a much much better first suit - as far as sport skydiving goes) before I even touched on the Intro. I was only pointing out 2 similar (full range of arm movement) beginer suits, and I happen to think that the buyback is a pretty damn good deal mmmmmm koolaide!!!
