So I got to jump my helmet today and during free fall had no problems with my glasses fogging. However I do have to leave the lens cracked open a bit just before jumping and once under canopy I just open it fully. It is super comfy and I didn't have any issues soooo all is good =p

There is that option but I've had glasses since i was 3 so they are as much a part of me as say a limb. I am debating it though...

Sounds good =) I figured I would at least crack it open before exit and under canopy but my main worry was during free fall where the only option is to open it and have a face shield rip away from you at 120mph -.-

I had kinda figured during freefall that it probably wont be to bad cause of the air flow but i guess I will find out for sure fairly soon haha

I hadn't thought about the fog freezing so a big thanks for pointing that one out to me. It is better to know about something like that now than when I'm falling and freaking out over being blind or something

I recently just got a Mamba full faced helmet and was like suhhhwheeet anti fog alrighty this is gonna be good

However when I got it and tried it on at home i was like god this thing fogs like mad... untill i realized it was actually my glasses fogging...

Im jumping this weekend so I can answer my own question then but I figured I would just ask around here anyhoo before hand =p

When in free fall does fogging of glasses still happen under a full faced as much as on the ground standing?

And has anyone ever heard of a product called 'Cat Crap' for anti fog... yes it sounds like a horrible name but ive heard it work but that you have to re apply often

Good point about being vertical on an RW run anyway... if i do happen to hit that position on accident i definitely must have done something wrong haha

I had 100% decided on buying booties when i first started skydiving haha. Everyone at the DZ supported the idea and said once i graduate and have some solos then get them for sure.

My main concern was if i happened to go into a sit or stand if i would be toasted by air funneling up the booties.

And later on I will get the right suit for FF but that's down the line anyway =)

I've already got the DZ bug haha... when I'm not skydiving I'm thinking about the next time I can go skydiving haha

And I have definitely tapped into the bank of parents for some gear

yeah that was kinda how I figured it would be. I enjoy belly flying but I've stood up once or twice and that can be more fun when your alllllll aloneee

So i got my A last week, and this weekend i cant jump =( so of course like any skydiver when I'm not jumping I'm thinking about jumping haha...

Anyway I am currently ordering my gear and what not and I know that i want booties on my jump suit but I am wondering if they will cause any issues if i transition to sit fly or standing... (I fall sooooo slow on my belly even when I'm folded in half with my arch breaking my back...)

Hiya everyone, I have been stalking the dz site for a while =P so figured id say hi and give out a bit of info too =)

Name is Chris and I am turning 19 in 2 weeks, and i completed my goal of getting my A before that b day just this last weekend =)

Now the fun part of buying gear haha. Got a helmet and altimeter on the way and more stuff to come later =)

Goal is to be around in the sport for a longgggg time =)
-See ya in the sky!
