Flite Suit
Company opened for business
in 1978.
Since that time, it has produced over 30,000
jumpsuits. It has established a reputation for quality
suits and dependable delivery. Flite Suit was
purchased by Ray Ferrell in January of 1996. We
worked closely with Wendy Neustrup to continue the
tradition of quality products and quick service that
the company had experienced under her ownership.
In fact, we sent our manager to work with Wendy for
most of a month before the business changed hands.
Furthermore, we have worked hard to keep up with
the changing demands of today's skydivers to
ensure that Flite Suit Company products are the best
in the market place. Finally, since the company has
moved to SkyDance SkyDiving, we have had new
energy and input in designing and producing
jumpsuits to meet the needs of today's skydivers.
Some of the changes we have made include:
|

|
|
- Arch Factor Bootie:
This is the first
bootie that has built into it a Spandex panel to
allow a comfortable and effective fit whether the
jumper is in a maximum arch or a maximum
track position. The bootie is available with any of
the skydiving suits we make and includes a very
durable non-skid sole as well as an easy
maintenance design.
- Bomber Freefly Suit: Over
the last
five years we have tested and redesigned our
Freefly Suit to make it the great product it is
today - that is the Bomber Freefly line of suits
and Freefly garments. We have incorporated the
options Freefliers want, but kept the suit very
simple and effective. To no one's amazement,
theBomber Freefly suit is the best selling suit we
make right now (Equal to the Flite Suit and the
Body Suit). By far, the Bomber Freefly line is
the best Freefly garb made for multi-dimensional
flying today!
- Competition Grippers: The
thicker,
firm grips favored by relative work competitors
are available as an option with all the available
RW suits we make. (Except with the J grip option.)
- Reinforced Center Panel: The
crotch area is one that often tears out in a
jumpsuit. We have doubled it in the Body Suit
and Student Suit and added gussets to the tighter
fitting suits to improve fit and movement.
- Women's Suits: Although
only about 20%
of the skydiving population, we feel that good fit
and function is critical to this portion of
the sport. Addition of a princess cut (for RW)
and other design features make this a better
fitting suit for women. We also build a complete
line of Women's Freefly suits in our Bomber
Chicks line.
- Redesigned Camera Wing: We
have reinforced the wing anchor points and made
a more effective Zero-P Sandwiched wing in
either of two standard wing designs. Additionaly,
we have just released a new "C-Wing" design
specifically for sit-flying camera flyers.
- Student Suits: We
took the basic Body
Suit design, strengthened it, and added
redesigned Cordura protection on the knees and
seat. Using Ultralite Tuff for the basic suit
material, the limited colors, options, and sizes
available make a suit that retails for less than
the Body Suit, but provide a bullet-proof design
that will stay in your program for years, not
months.
- Updated Suit Line: Flite
Suit Company
has listened to the sport and added to its existing
Suit lines by developing a Women's cut Freefly
Line (Bomber Chicks), Freefly Jackets, Pants
and Pullovers, as well as 2-piece RW and Freefly
Suits. The Bomber Line of Freefly Products is
one of the best built in the market, and is jumped
by some of the finest Freefly Schools in the
country! As always, we specialize in Custom
Designs, so let your imagination run wild
........we can build it!
We still make the efficient, good fitting suits,
for which Flite Suit has been internationally
recognized and we do it more quickly than anyone
else in the industry!
