  1. I have put about 450 jumps on my original Bomber suit. It is still in great condition, all the seams still intact, has stood up to quite a lot of abuse and still looks good. I recently ordered a new suit (wanted 2-piece suit, also trimmer fit). I got measured for the suit by Ryan at the Eloy holiday boogie, so I knew the measurements would be correct. The new suit fits great, exactly what I wanted.

    There might be cheaper freefly suit manufacturers out there, but I KNOW that my Bomber freefly suits will last and last. The materials used, the stitching (still no loose or broken stitches on my original suit), everything about these suits is quality. You get what you pay for (in this case a damn fine freefly suit).

  2. Friday the 11th of May on my second jump of the day, I got bitch-slapped by a riser. This slap cost me my Pro-Track. On Sunday the 13th of May I emailed L&B to tell them my sad story (with witness references), not expecting much, since my losing their product shouldn't really have been their problem. Boy, was I surprized when I got a reply less than two hours later from Mads Larsen saying that they were sending me a replacement free of charge!

    Tuesday the 15th of May my new Pro-Track arrived, along with some stickers and a cloth patch. It is safe to say that I am now a VERY loyal L&B customer. Should I ever need to buy a second audible for camera or freeflying I know who I will be buying it from.

    Thank you L&B!

  3. I would like to add to what somebody said earlier about the misplaced hole in the bonehead for your audible. I resorted to cutting some of the padding, because when you line the original hole up with the hole in the hard shell, the padding protrudes from the helmet. At the price you pay for a bonehead, you would expect better attention to detail. Also, why not keep the audible on the inside? One guy at my DZ lost his pro-track because a riser slapped it off. I would much rather have the bulge on the helmet and know my pro-track was safe.

    Other than that I really like the helmet and it is really comfortable. Also for a beginner like myself it is great because I can use it for RW as well (no frap hat for me thank you very much!)

    I would've given it 9 out of 10 if I didn't have to hack the inner padding with a pair of scissors and my pro-track was better protected.
