Symbiosis FS Suit

After getting my A-license I talked to the local riggers to ask some advice for my first skydiving suit. They highly recommend Symbiosis and I couldn't be any happier that they did..!

There are quite some options in colors and modifications. For instance, I asked for some extra cordura pads on the knees, and this was no problem (for a small and reasonable fee of course).

The suit is comfortable, the booties and grips are great, and after 80 jumps it still looks as good as new.
5/5, would highly recommend.

Decided to take a chance and purchase an RW suit not typically worn by jumpers in the US. I was first impressed by the suit's unique pattern and also the suit designer feature on their website. The customer service was superb and I ended up with a suit of excellent quality, $100 less expensive than its US-based competitors, and shipped in only 4 weeks! It fits perfectly and I've already used it for a tunnel camp and a number of jumps. I'll definitely be a lifelong customer.

I have just flown my Symbi RW suit for the first time and I'm thrilled with it. The quality of workmanship is high and it is very comfortable to wear.
The customer service was faultless- I was given sound advice on the choice of colour, and the suit arrived within 4 weeks of ordering. Based on this experience, I would not hesitate to buy symbiosis again.

In my opinion, Symbi charge too much to alter the suits, hence don't eat to much.

The FS competition suit has been developed with a lot feedback from competitors and the current model has a comfortable fit, great grips, more powerful booties and is very hard wearing.

I demand a lot from my suit, as do most serious competitors, and the Symbi competition suit works for me (my last suit did circa 800 jumps and tens of tunnel hours and is still intact – and still fits). I did get a small hole in a shoulder seam after 1 season - one phone call and it was turned round within a week.

Booties do take a hammering, especially running on back-to-back loads when time is very tight – the easy answer is a tube of shoe goo and 1/2 hour of your time when they are new – this makes them indestructible.

I would (and have) recommended these suits to other competitors and recreational jumpers. If I was going to renew a suit, Symbi would be my first call. The suits are great and the customer service has been excellent – the company is small enough to care.

Any cons? I'd like them to turn faster and stop harder, but I think that might be the operator rather than the machine......:-)

The order form is claer and easy to fill in. There are plenty of choices.

Symbiosis make a great FS suit. As a team jumper my suit gets a lot of wear and tear (hundreds of jumps a year and a lot of wind tunnel hours). The suits are comfortable but tough and last well. Fit is good - well, they'll make it to fit just the way you want so it should be. Just make sure you get your measurements right ! Any repairs or modifications are turned around quickly and efficiently.

I have been using Symbi suits for more than 20 years, the fact that I a still using them must mean I am well satisfied customer. I have never had a suit that didn't fit, if your measurements are accurate it fits! The suit I still use most is my '93 team suit, yes the knee have been repaired, too much packing and the booties too, but hey thats a lot of freefall.
