Jump Suits

[Kong]

Thinking its time to buy a new jump suit for the season. Seems as if its getting harder to find them. Anyone have recommendations on where to start looking?

[Rednucleus]

I am not a jumper but I see Stokes lists a jump suit on their page. If it's the quality of their vests & wet suits it should be a winner!

I bought a stokes suit last year.  I am happy with it.  And there are not that many other reasonably priced options.

https://www.waterswetsuits.com/  Here's another reasonably priced alternative.

Saw the Stokes suit. Seems to be all I can find though. Sites that sell Eagle have seemed to be out of XL's for quite sometime. Appears these are harder to find than they used to be. At least it appears that way

[Kong]

Thanks for the site Kelvin

@Kong call Masterline they have eagle suits

Got a Waters recently.  Nice suit, and Brandon is a super guy.

Hey Kong,

We have L's and XL's available but will be back in stock with all sizes from beginning of June.  Their are few options out there for jumpsuits and Waters is certainly a good choice if you go that route.  The only color we have right now is the grey upper body.

Good luck with your search and hope you get plenty of time on the ramp this year. 

Make sure you post some pics of you going over the jump.  Always good to see someone jumping. 

Cheers

I appreciate the help!!!!

[Kong]

Also, just a question to throw out there.... What happened to all our bright colors form the 80's and early 90's? Isn't it time for that fad to come around again? And if not, can we get it started back up?

Sorry to thread jack, but what is the best source for full-face jump helmets now?

 

 

[Kong]

I would help if I could, I just use a half bucket. My face only has room to improve. Even a full face plant would make a marked improvement. 

Although I do think you can find some at Bennett's

Hey,

bennetts is always a good source for all things jump.  If they are out or don't have helmets they'll try to source some. 

I think Cole Kalkbrenner may be doing helmets also, but not 100% sure on that.  

We did do helmets but the company we got helmets through stopped making them. 

The best helmets to go for are the cookie G4 or G35 or anything similar to that

Do helmets with visors work for jumping?  

Perfski has an  "Icaro Skyrunner Black Helmet."

@perfski are superb in their knowledge of jumping, they'll for sure point you where you need to go.  I think the visors are removable if your not comfortable wearing them.  Some people use them though.

Just got my waters westuits jumpsuit this year to replace my old barefoot suit!

So far so good I like the construction and design and it has a good price point.

[unksskis]

Unless you’re 170ft+ jumper, a bmx/mtn bike helmet with the visor removed is a great option.  Shred Ready is another option but not my choice, or Cole is selling downhill skateboard helmets.

I just ordered one for the boy from you guys (and it's shipped!).  If he likes it I'll probably try it order another one for me.   We are sharing an older one right now and the liner is wearing out so it's time for some new gear.  

[jjackkrash]

The Icaro came from Perf Ski and it fits perfect.  The boy really likes it.
