Hey all! I'm a long time visitor, first time poster, so I guess I should introduce myself...My names Jon, I got into the sport on my 18th birthday a little over a year ago. I spent all my money skydiving (oops) and found myself broke, with only enough money to stay current really. finished a year and a half of college, and have taken this semester off to go make some money so i can finish college (or skydive, whichever). But anyways, with this new lifestyle of actually making money...I've started to put together my skydiving rig, slowly but surely, and I have learned a lot from these forums. But to my real question. I just purchased my first jumpsuit about 4 weeks ago, it's a pit special tony suit, and it just came in today. I've never jumped booties, but i figured i would soon so it has mega booties. When I put the suit on, its tight...like, really tight. Which is what I want, because i weigh 160 and am 6"1, but I think its too tight. I cant put my booties on without unzipping the suit and pulling it down, and when I do get them on I find it really hard to arch correctly. I laid in the floor and I can hardly arch at all, and i have very limited motion in bringing my feet in or pushing them out as if I was tracking. Also If i try to make a 90 degree angle at my elbow, I cant.I measured everything several times to make sure it was correct, and i even measured with baggy clothes on to get a little looser fit, but its still really tight. I don't think I will have any problem returning the suit and getting it altered based on the reviews I've read, but is that necessary or is it normal for the suit to be that tight with booties? And will it fit a little differently maybe when I put a rig on, although I think that would make it fit tighter if anything. Thanks ahead of time!
