rob999 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I've been looking at the SupAir suit. Looks a nice bit of kit. Are flight suits really worth the £160 or so? If so, what are the best to go for and why? I like the idea of having clothing on with a suit over the top stopping anything falling out of my pockets or coming undone and heading for the prop, preferably with some thermal qualities as well.. Any advice gratefully received... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I rode motorbikes form the age of 14 on dartmoor I was 19 when I got my first set of leathers. I purchased a flight suit in year 1 of flying a paramotor I learned a valuable lesson when riding on the moors in jeans. ( your knees CAN actually freeze ) lol SW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 http://www.ozee.co.uk/shop#!/~/category ... ort=normal Never been cold in my Ozee millennium, paragliding on the Welsh hills in the middle of winter. No good for summer months. Ordered a custom all black version for the last one. Well made. Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 Second that for the Ozee Millennium, map pocket on the leg, lots of pockets & loops, plenty warm and comfortable for the coldest winter days. Mine was made to measure for no extra charge, all black too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdEves Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Lots of chaps round here love Dickies waterproof/windproof padded overalls for flying. £50 and toasty.

gordon_dunn Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I've had the Sup-air classic for 5-6 years now... great piece of kit. Only time I go without it is when it's shorts and T shirt weather- which is not that common here. Very good for keeping warm, and dry if you do get caught out in rain. The leg stirrups are essential for keeping the legs warm too. The suit is thin, and not that cumbersome- so good for summer flying too. In winter I tend to wear thermals underneath- many thin layers are better than 1 thick layer. Flying suits also make it easier to slide into the seat during takeoff....
