Skydiving Suits......?

Question

My partner has started doing solo skydives over the last few months. Its his 21st birthday in a few weeks & I want to get him his own jump suit. I have just found out from looking on the net that there are different types of suits. Does anyone know the difference in these suits and can anyone tell me what one would be sutiable for him. He doesn't do any fancy jumping yet I just want an all rounder suit.....

Answer 1

There are many different types of skydiving jump suits and they all have different uses.  there are relative work suits, free fly suits, wing suits, camera suits, swoop pants....  and more.  the best thing for a young jumper to get is a solid all around suit with reinforced needs and butt.

Take a look at the classified section of dropzone.com for people selling suits.  

Although it would be a great surprise to give the suit to your partner, I would suggest you tell him you'd like to get him a suit and then have him help pick out the type and style for the types of jumps he will be focusing on.

By the way, I think this is a wonderful gift!!!!
