poz Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Can anyone suggest an all bells and whistles (ie lots of pockets and sh*t) flying suit, and recommend a size. I'm a tad over 6ft, quite broad and 85kg. Need to be able to wear just a tshirt underneath. Cost is secondary to usefulness, quality and importantly, being easy to get in and out of. Any help would be great as it's not like going for a pair a jeans that you can try on. Cheers Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will checkout Ebay though Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I can recommend the suit I use, an Ozee Millennium http://www.ozee.co.uk/shop#ecwid:catego ... ct=1727111 It's mostly sold to microlight pilots but it has been excellent for paramotoring. It is waterproof (so never an issue setting up in a wet field), windproof, incredibly warm and tough but very easy to move about in. It has a large clear pocket on the leg, loads of other pockets all over. easy access zips for legs, etc. It's also very tough. Mine was made to measure for no extra charge (you can choose your colour, I had all black). The pics on their website look a bit naff bit they are very good suits. I went up today with just a light fleece on underneath, it was minus 3 on the ground and I was as warm as toast in it for about an hour.

phil1975 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Outkast if you landed near my & pulled that pose I would struggle to resist you! Dan I managed to blag an Icaro Top Gun flying suit from Skyads. Just checked the price on their website mine was a bargain! However if you want a really good suit I can highly recommend it! I am similar build to you & am a large. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
