    Crater Suit

    My first "custom" jumpsuit was a Crater suit, which I've owned since 1994. I was impressed with the knowledgeable and friendly answers to my questions then and now, since I am ordering another one this week. I am not letting the first one go, just changing a few colors and upsizing to fit my additional girth into it along with long johns for the chilly fall temperatures in upstate New York. Since my first order the company has changed ownership, and imagine my surprise when the new owner answered the phone! I joked with him about the previous owner still appearing as the photo model. I surfed Bev Suits, Tony Suits, and Flite Suits websites, but none of them compared to the user-friendliness and completeness I found at Body SportsUSA's site. Their CAD program is remarkable and produces excellent fitting suits and greatly simplifies the question of how much slack or wing needed for a given fall rate. Unless their facilities suffer a catastrophic disaster, I will probably not look again at any other source for my jumpsuit needs as long as I am healthy enough to jump, which I hope is at least another 30 years !
