I had the sit suit with the c wing option and I eventually cut the small zp sit wing off the back of the arm. I usually wear free fly trousers over the suit (I jump in England - its cold!)

I really like to sit fly in this suit - it goes very quiet when doing this!! My exit weight is 230lbs and I have no problems except for very light tandems for which I go flat.

I actually thread the rsl clip through my hip rings and then hook them onto the leg strap hardware. The wing is then rock solid and it makes it impossible to pull your pc through the gap because there is no gap! When i just wrapped the clip around the leg strap the wing would collapse as I laid further back. The only problem with this is that it can be slightly fiddly to undo the clips under canopy.

Apparently the suit no longer comes with the rsl clip as standard but it can be ordered as an extra.

The build quality is as you would expect from Tony. I've done about 1000 jumps with this suit with only some minor repairs.

My next camera suit will probably be another Tony suit but the regular suit with a c wing (and obviously no booties.) I won't need another one for a while though because there is a lot of life left in the one I've already got!!

Hope you find this useful.

I've been jumping a Xaos 21 - 108 this year and have done about 400 jumps on it. Before that I did 1400 on a stiletto 135 (i weigh 200 lbs and have 2300 jumps). I love the way the canopy flies and lands (particularly on back risers), in my opinion it goes further and faster than the FX (i've jumped the 109) and the velocity (i've jumped the 120 - 96. I cutaway twice in my first 20 jumps through line twists then I stopped psycho packing! Precisions website do reccommend this method of packing. I recently cutaway again because of line twists. It could be my body position or my packing but prior to this I had 1 cutaway in 1900 jumps. The lines are still looking OK I will be interested to see how long they last. Hope you find this useful

I have 4 reserve rides on my PD126R and would be reluctant to have anything else packed in my kit. most people I know who jump cheap reserves have never had a reserve ride. I weigh 200lbs without kit and the landings have been fine (in nil winds). The openings are great - very positive and on heading, i have been jumping cameras on 3 of these 4 reserve rides and haven't hurt my neck at all. I have heard very good things about the french techno reserves also, but haven't jumped one so can't comment.
