In an extreme sport such as skydiving, you don’t want to take chances on anything, and that includes the suit that clings to you as fly freely through the air. There are two main types of suits that are used in skydiving: freeflying suits and RW jumping suits.
Experienced jumpers that wish to perform many different (and difficult) tricks in the air generally prefer a freeflying suit due to their lightweight material that makes attempting such tricks much easier. They are made from a mixture of cotton and polyester. RW jumping suits are usually made from spandex and nylon, which not only provide for more drag and lift but also make the inexperienced jumper feel more secure as there are grips where the controls and chute will be attached.
It’s important to find the suit that’s right for you and to ensure that you have tried it on before jumping out of any plane! The right suit is just as important as the right chute when it comes to your safety!
