Custom skydiving suits and jumpsuits

A flying surface you wear

In freefall and in a wind tunnel, the suit is part of how the body flies. Its fabric and tightness change fall rate. Its shape changes how much air the arms and legs catch. A suit that is right for one discipline is wrong for another, so the first thing we ask is what kind of flying it is for.

Suits by discipline

A freefly suit is close-fitting and smooth, in a tough fabric with stretch panels, built for head-up and head-down flying where speeds are high and a flapping suit is a liability. The fit is snug with nothing loose to catch air unpredictably.

A formation suit, for belly flying in groups, carries grippers: padded tubes on the arms and legs that other flyers hold to build formations. It often has booties, fabric extensions over the feet that give the lower legs more drive. Fabric is chosen to tune fall rate, slicker and tighter to fall faster, more drag to fall slower.

A tunnel suit is made for indoor flying. It takes more abrasion from the tunnel walls and net, so it is reinforced at knees, elbows and seat, and usually has no need for some of the outdoor features.

Student and rental suits for dropzones and tunnels are simple, hard-wearing and made in a full range of sizes with the size marked clearly, so staff can fit people fast.

We do not make wingsuits. They are a specialist product with their own design and training requirements.

Fall rate: fabric and fit

Two flyers of different build fall at different speeds, and suits are used to bring them together. A lighter flyer who falls slowly wants a tight suit in slick fabric. A heavier flyer who falls fast wants more drag: a slightly looser cut or a fabric with more texture.

Tell us your height, weight, experience and who you fly with, and what you want the suit to do. If you are unsure, your coach or team captain will know which way to go, and it is worth asking them before ordering.

Made to measure

A skydiving suit is made to the individual. Fit matters more here than in almost any other garment: too loose and it flaps and changes how you fly, too tight and it restricts the arch and reach you need.

We supply a measurement guide with every point shown. Measurements must be taken by another person, over the base layers you will wear, and checked twice. Most problems with made-to-measure suits come from a single wrong measurement, so we query any figure that looks inconsistent with the others before cutting.

Built for the wear points

Skydiving and tunnel suits take hard use: sliding landings, tunnel walls, harness straps rubbing at the shoulders and legs. We use heavier fabric at the knees, seat and elbows, reinforce the seams that take load, and place stretch panels at the back and joints so the suit moves without straining.

Zips are covered or protected so they cannot snag on equipment, and nothing on the outside of the suit is left loose. If you want a particular closure, cuff or collar, tell us; experienced flyers usually have firm preferences.

What the suit is and is not

A jumpsuit is clothing. It is not safety equipment and is not a substitute for training, a serviceable rig or the judgement of your instructors. We build the suit to your specification; how it is used is governed by your dropzone and your training.

Colours, teams and dropzones

Each panel of the suit can be a different colour, which is how flyers recognise each other in the air. We send a colour sheet to fill in. Names, team logos and dropzone branding are embroidered or printed.

For teams, we make matching suits to each member's measurements in one design. For dropzones and tunnels, we produce student and rental fleets in your colours and keep the specification so replacements match.
