Sounds good to me! I think I'm going to try: 1 layer of thin cotton inners 1 layer of latex gloves Then my Neumann (winter) gloves Cheers chaps :) Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

Thanks for all that guys! I tried those heat pads last year; they were great for my palms, but my fingers till felt like they were going to fall off. I've recently acquired a pair of cotton liners. So I'll be sure to try those when it gets a little chillier. What do the chaps do who jump in really cold places such as Russia etc? Any other suggestions welcome. =:-) Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

For any of you unlucky enough to jump in the extreme cold, what gloves do you wear to stop your hands from hurting? Obviously we need something ‘thin’ and ‘warm’. I have a pair of Neumann (winter) gloves but they do very little in my opinion. My hands are still in a lot of pain once down on the ground. I'm going to try some cotton liners, but I want to hear it from the masses (you lot). Any ideas? Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today!

My sentiments exactly Mr Ian Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

Mr Sparky, I gave the fella the answer he was looking for in a PM and we have discussed the situation further since.

Ok good! Starting to paint a clearer picture now... L&B - Service, good Neptune - Batteries, bad L&B (VISO) - Cheap Neptune - More features Ok, so what about the pro-track by L&B? It's around the same price as the Neptune but how does it differ in functionality? The battery situation is turning me off the Neptune but I don't want to wait for the VISO! Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

OK so, The Neptune is a better device (if the battery holds) but the VISO is the cheaper option! Is that correct? The L&B site is currently down too! That doesn't say a great deal for the company does it? Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

Hey guys, I have been on these boards for all of 2 days and there's one thing I keep hearing about over and over. People are raving about VISO by L&B but what is it? Why is it so much better than Neptune? I am now interested it purchasing one as I need a new alti, however, I would like to know why it is considered (by some) to be worth all the fuss it's causing. I'm also aware that the release date keeps changing. Does anyone have an update on that also? Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today!

Hi Frank, I have intentionally left all but my licence blank. I'm going to wait until I'm a little more experienced before I put my information up here. If I say something stupid, I don't have to live with it, I just change logon ID Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today!

Good points, well communicated! Well, the DZ's I jump at are mainly milatry owned. Hence the kit is generally well looked after and in good supply. It's good kit too, the alti's are altimaster III's for instance (I hope you can see my thoughts about why I don't need to invest in a new alti). I appretiate what you're saying about the jump suits, they are in good condition but they are a nasty colour and you actually look like a student.

Hey Scoop, Thanks for your input! I don't really have a great deal new to say but I thought it would be rude not to say anything at all. I have analysed the other possible mountings for the more traditional style altimeters. They are a good idea, however, they are readily available (for free) at my DZ. So there is little point investing in one. Hence, it is not really a choice to buy a normal alti or a watch. It is more a choice of the watch or a Neptune (or something similar) and they are more expensive. I think I have kinda formulated a plan now anyway! I do, however, need to run it past some of the instructors at my DZ before finalising anything. Cheers for taking time out though Scoop!

Not as such! I always 'look at source' on peoples personal websites (as opposed to professional ones) and it's just good etiquette to let someone know of any possible security flaws. I would like someone to do the same for me too. I may, however, take you up on the beer! Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today!

Oh please! If I was going to hack your site, do you think I would have told you, you have a flaw. I was being helpfull Why do some people on this site just want to cause trouble? Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

So where does that leave me? Is my current plan appropriate (legal)? Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?

Ian, I have sent you a private message! I hope this helps with your problem. Also, next time you wish to post, can you make it constructive please Too clowdy, too windy, not enough people to fill the aircraft, no pilot in today! Why, oh why bigman, won't you let me jump?
