Ouragan FreeFly Suits

Hi Everyone, i just wanted to drop a short line to write about lot of positive things that came with the process of getting my 8 Jumpsuits from Ouragan. Very friendly and professional Staff, very helpful when it comes to taking measurements. And after lot of help and very fast
production 2 weeks earlier than scheduled:-) i opened a box and had the feeling it is Xmas. Sweet Suits great materials and lots of small details made with Love. I recommend this Company for People that invest in a great looking Suit to have it for a long Time cure they last. Highly Recommended.

So many Freefly suit vendors on the market these days, I had no idea which one to go with.

Done some research and Ourgan seemed to be on top with the quality however on the pricey side. But looking at the multiple options and designs availble I thought I'd give them ago. Afterall, how many suits am I actually going to buy in my life time!

I had many questions regarding materials, options, designs so i emailed Ouragan, they got back to me straight away and we exchanged about 15 mails.

Ouragan looked at the measurements on my form, the seemstress requested a web cam session so we could re-take some measurements with her supervision.

Very impressed with the professionalism and attention to detail.

I paid the extra for a rush order and within 3 weeks my suit was at my door.

Worth every bit of money and the customer service really go that extra mile.

I recommend Ouragan

Ouragan suits are undoubtedly the best suits I've ever seen, not only are they totally original but I've never seen a suit fit so well!

I measured myself for the suit and sent off the order, Kefran emailed me straight away with a design custom built just for me! The design was awesome and I straight away gave the go ahead! Kefran gave me an estimated delivery time of 3 weeks, to my surprise one week later my suit was here in the UK and oh my gosh was I pleased!

Everyone should get one of these suits if they can afford it! They aren't the cheapest suits on the market but you certainly get what you pay for! The quality of the suit exceeds others by miles and they just look awesome!

The suit is a pleasure to fly and although I've only jumped it a handful of times since it arrived 4 days ago, I'm already having comments that my flying is much better as the suit really fits well!!

I would recommend Ouragan to everyone, this is the way skydiving should be!

No disappointments, no stress, just hot suits, fast delivery and awesome service.

Blue Skies!!

By far the best suits i have come across, the customer service surpasses anything i have experienced. The amount of drag is perfect! Get one! 1 week delivery time!

I'd like to take a moment to share my thoughts with the community. I ordered an Ouragon suit and the people at Ouragon (Specifically Nancy, Frankais and Chris) were very helpful in asststing me in selecting a design, etc. What I didn;t expect is what arrived.

OH MY GOD, this thing is absolutely exquisitely made. The fabric itself is fantastic and either slips or grabs as much air as you would like. My speed range is from 100 to 185 mph - it's insane! I asked for a set of grippers and what came was a perfectly design matched set of blocks that integrate so well, they're difficult to see from a distance yet perfectly comfortable to use. In addition, the fit and finish of the suit is unlike anything I have ever seen. The cuffs are almost internal and the material outside doesn't interfere with the altimeter wrist band (read - no wear) yet meshes perfectly. I added padded knees & padded butt (hey - you never know) & they both have a heavy set of cordura on them. Unbelievable - simply unbelievable.

Joe at Deland said it best, "Man, you're making the rest of us look like @$%& when you're wearing that!"

My many thanks to everyone at Ouragon. I HIGHLY recommend their suits. I am yet to see anything comparable.

I used to jump a Firefly and Bomber suits before, they are not even close! I'll be quick here. Love the suit made by Ouragan! Got mine last year. It's comfortable, controllable, the amount of drag is perfect, the worksmanship is meticulous, the personal touch is definitely there! And the suit looks hot! Oh, I should mention that my wife is jumping her own custom Ouragan suit as well, and is very happy with it :) Other then the price - there are no downsides, but then again - you get what you pay for, and I am glad that I went with Ouragan this time.

I received my Ouragan suit yesterday and it is so hot! Yuki was in constant communication with me and made any and all changes requested. When I ordered my suit I was told there would be a 3 month wait, but I got it in 2 (what a great suprise). I like my suit so much that I will definetly buy another.

It is true that you get what you pay for. In the case of my Ouragan suit, I paid $555 and waited four months, but it was worth it. This is the first full freefly suit I've had (went with pants and a long-sleeved shirt for a couple of years), and I absolutely love it. The quality of the workmanship, construction and attention to detail are second to none. I believe this suit will last a very long time.

The taslon material on the suit is very lightweight and breathes nicely. On hot FL summer days this is very important, and I've found that I stay cooler when I wear the suit instead of just shorts and a t-shirt.

I think Ouragan had problems with customer service in the past, but I did not find that to be the case now. Nancy was very helpful with designing my suit (since I'm not good at artistic endeavors). When I first flew the suit, I found it had more drag in the legs than I wanted. Since I was passing through Deland in a few days for business, I asked if I could bring the suit by and get some of the drag taken out. They were very helpful and accomidated my request. I dropped the suit off on Monday, and for a modest fee, I had it tailored and shipped back to me by Friday of the same week.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my Ouragan suit. It fits and looks great and the workmanship is outstanding. Nancy and Yuki were very helpful. When it finally comes time for a new suit (likely won't happen for several years), I will order another Ouragan suit.

I absolutely love my custom two-piece Ouragan suit. I emailed a graphic of what I wanted and Nancy and Yugi made it reality. It’s my opinion that the quality of work on the Ouragan suits is unmatched by any other suit maker currently on the market. Unfortunately, quality and customization comes with a high price tag. That being said, the old adage certainly holds true that “you get what you pay for”. The quality of materials and seams will give my Ouragan suit a long skydiving lifespan. Nancy’s experience making suits for the abusive environment of the wind tunnel is very much evident in the construction of her skydiving suits.

There was a long wait period before I received my suit however I understood this would be the case before ever placing my order. I was well rewarded for my patience as my suit arrived with a personal note from Nancy explaining a few of the special little extras she had thrown in. Several of the jumpers at our drop zone currently own personalized Ouragan suits and we are all very satisfied with the work and service we received. As for customer service, Yugi was always available to answer questions and update me on the status of my suit. If you haven’t seen an Ouragan suit yet keep your eye open for the tell tail hurricane logo and check one out. As the proud owner of one of Nancy’s suits I’m more than happy to show mine off when asked.

I ordered an Ouragan Suit in January and received it in May. I got the suit, and it looked great, but the fit was off.

I sent Ouragan an email describing the problem and attached photos and paid to send the suit back to Ouragan for them to fix. Soon afterward, I checked my bank account balance and it was off. I looked at the detail and saw a charge from Ouragan- They had shipped my suit and charged me without my authorization. VISA gave me my money back before Ouragan did.

The suit still did not fit. I was really unhappy about the unauthorized charge and the expectation that I would pay for shipping both ways because of a mistake on Ouragan's part (either manufacturing or measuring), and I asked Ouragan about whether I could get a refund and send the suit back to them. They said I could get a refund for all but the $200 deposit. I had trouble getting in touch with Ouragan to get my refund. Two weeks later,Ouragan acknowledged that they had previously emailed me that all but the $200 deposit was refundable, but said that because I paid with a gift certificate, all but the $400 gift certificate was refundable. Ouragan later denied ever telling me that I would receive the larger refund.

I was unhappy with my experience because
(1) Ouragan expected me to pay for shipping both ways because of an Ouragan mistake;
(2) Ouragan charged my debit card without my permission;
(3) Ouragan told me I would receive a refund of all but $200, then two weeks later said could get a refund of all but $400, then denied making the initial refund offer.

I don't mind waiting and paying more for a high quality suit, but the customer service problems were too much for me.

Ouragan has a very nice team. Some good points are that they take pride in their designs, and if you are looking to get something tribal, or some abstract design on your suit, they will do it (but it'll cost ya$$.)

I have a 2pc suit. The first time I got it they pants were too small in the butt. I sent back and they fixed.

I later gained some weight and had them remeasure me to alter the pants. The job didn't work out, they came out very very huge. They determined they would need more money to make new pants. At this point I had them make them, but when I got them they were just a small at the original pants that were too small, and now i'm back to the butt not fitting well (goes up my butt.) I have given up on alterations, and i'm just wearing it as is because i'm not willing to waste anymore of my time.

I have looked at a few of their suits, and the up-the-butt look seems to be kind of common. I think that the mold they use is for a small butt, and when you send in your measurements, they just scale the mold maybe, and don't account for different body shapes?

In the end, I like the suit, I just wish that the pants didn't go up my butt again. Nancy and her team are nice people and their operation has grown immensely in a short time. I would not buy again, though, because of all of the hassle with fitting problems. Also, I tried to inquire on getting my boyfriend a suit and kept asking for a quote and never got one. His suit from Firefly should be arriving in a few days.

I really wanted to buy a suit and some pants from them after good reviews & months ago I made contact with Nancy and am still waiting for my questions on if I can order a suit on rush order.

A number months ago i got a reply that their computer had been down. I replied asking about a rush order as I really want a suit. A total of 7 months from original contact and no answers have been sent to me. I really wanted to be a customer of theirs but they do not seem to want another customer. I guess some people think that it is okay to waste other jumpers time.

I have had better service from the FAA!!

Nancy is one of the best people to deal with when it comes to suits. Each one she develops is a piece of her and she truly makes it that way. She will not stop till you are 110% happy with the way your suit looks and feels in the air.

Her tunnel suits are amazing and take away the annoying baggy suits they provide for most freefliers.

The swoop pants are amazing comfortable and are awesome for the days you only feel like going to 5,000.

Thanks for everything Nancy!

I believe that this suit is excellent, because of the quality of the craftsmenship, the artistic design, and the true uniqueness of your own individual suit. Nancy is a superb individual who puts a lot of care into the creation of your suit. I highly recommend these suits!
