  2. Ouragan suits are undoubtedly the best suits I've ever seen, not only are they totally original but I've never seen a suit fit so well! I measured myself for the suit and sent off the order, Kefran emailed me straight away with a design custom built just for me! The design was awesome and I straight away gave the go ahead! Kefran gave me an estimated delivery time of 3 weeks, to my surprise one week later my suit was here in the UK and oh my gosh was I pleased! Everyone should get one of these suits if they can afford it! They aren't the cheapest suits on the market but you certainly get what you pay for! The quality of the suit exceeds others by miles and they just look awesome! The suit is a pleasure to fly and although I've only jumped it a handful of times since it arrived 4 days ago, I'm already having comments that my flying is much better as the suit really fits well!! I would recommend Ouragan to everyone, this is the way skydiving should be! No disappointments, no stress, just hot suits, fast delivery and awesome service. Blue Skies!!

  4. Hi, I've been given an Esprit 150, its too worn to make out the Manufacturer even though it is airworthy. Does anyone know anything about these canopies and their flight characteristics. Blue Ones All.
  5. Sorry if you didn't like my post. I was not launching a personal attack on Deepseed, they did resume the situation in the end. Just trying to help another jumper make an informed decision when purchasing gear. I'm not saying other manufacturers don't have problems and I can't comment on them as I haven't seen them. I was just explaining my experience in response to the question, "Does anyone have a Deepseed suit?". I apologize if any offense was taken, it certainly was not intended. At the end of the day its all down to personal choice, I now have gone with Sonic and I'm happy with them but I'm sure others would agree.... thats the beauty of opinions, everyone's is different and no-one is stating they are right or wrong it was just my personal opinion!
  6. Hey, I recently purchased a DEEPSEED suit and I have to say I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. We ordered several seperate suits both Free Fly and RW from our dropzone and all three came back firstly late and then completely bizare. Their FF suits are incredibly baggy even the regular fit. I know all companies have teething problems but to have three separate suits all come back wrong and we are getting more reports daily from our jumpers who ordered their suite, is totally unacceptable. I personally wouldn't recommend them. Yes they are cheaper than some people but they really aren't worth the hassle. 5 months on from ordering my DEEPSEED suit I am still without a FreeFly suit and seething from the hassle. It is always worth having a real look at what you want and I would agree with the other posts go for reputation...nothing is more valuable than word of mouth and personal recommendations. Good Luck in finding what you want. Blue Skies!
