DROPZONE BUYER GUIDE:
HOW TO CHOOSE SKYDIVING SUITS FOR YOUR DROPZONE

Dear Dropzone Partner,

You know the world of skydiving and your dropzone operations inside out, but when selecting the right suits, a few decades of manufacturing experience can make a real difference.

On a dropzone, a skydiving suit is far more than fashion or a uniform. It is a work tool, protective gear, and one of the most visible parts of your dropzone brand.

The suit worn by an AFF instructor, tandem pilot, or camera flyer directly impacts their work. The same applies to student and tandem passenger suits. The right gear affects freefall quality, instructor effectiveness, comfort, and safety in key moments.

Meanwhile, your dropzone branding appears in every photo and video created on site.

Student Suits: Designed for AFF Students and First Time Jumpers

AFF students require jumpsuits designed specifically for training.

Intrudair Student suits are engineered and sized based on practical feedback from top dropzones. They feature durable, strategically placed grips and come in a size matrix covering the vast majority of student body types.

By incorporating intermediate sizes alongside base sizes, we can assemble a tailored dropzone inventory of up to 10 distinct sizes.

Key functions of a Student suit include:

• Supporting AFF instructors during freefall training

• Providing secure, well placed grip points

• Protecting students from weather, aircraft interiors, and minor landing scrapes

• Giving your skydiving school a unified, professional look

Rather than picking sizes automatically, let us discuss your student demographics, weather conditions, and teaching methods. We can then build the ideal size set for your dropzone.

Tandem Passenger Suits: More Than Just Keeping Clothes Clean

Many dropzones worldwide skip tandem suits to avoid extra hassle with dressing, storage, and washing.

However, appropriate protective wear elevates a professional tandem operation. A simple suit, jumpsuit, or specialized tandem pants make a noticeable difference.

They protect passenger clothing from dirt, add warmth during cooler jumps, and offer extra protection against scrapes during imperfect landings.

Branded tandem suits also serve as mobile advertising. Photos and videos circulate online for years. Custom colors, logos, and distinct designs make your dropzone instantly recognizable on social media, allowing passengers to proudly share where they jumped.

We tailor tandem suit sizing to your target market, adjusting for regional physical variations across Europe, the Americas, Asia, or New Zealand.

Tandem Pilots: Practical and Professional Workwear

In hot weather, tandem pilots often prefer not to wear full jumpsuits. Professional skydiving pants offer the ideal solution.

The right pants balance protection, freedom of movement, and storage functionality. Dedicated pockets securely hold tissues, wipes, spare camera batteries, or sick bags. These small details become essential when flying 10 to 15 tandems a day.

AFF Instructors: Flight Performance Matters

For AFF instructors, a suit is not just workwear, it is a flight tool. Instructors must adjust to students of varying weights and builds, where fall rate differences can be substantial.

We developed our Multi Speed suits specifically for this purpose.

The Multi Speed construction allows instructors to operate across a much wider speed range, making it ideal for AFF instructors and camera flyers. It is also available in a two piece design. Multi Speed suits are trusted by top dropzones globally, from the UAE to the US and across Europe.

Camera Flyers

Camera flyers also require wide fall rate adaptability. Filming a lightweight passenger pair versus a heavier tandem pair demands significant flight adjustments. The camera flyer must stay stable and maintain ideal framing regardless of fall speed.

Our Multi Speed models are the primary choice for professional camera work.

General Dropzone Use: CF and C+

For general staff jumps, tandem work, or everyday dropzone tasks, the CF and C+ models serve as versatile foundation suits. For specialized AFF training, extreme speed variations, or dedicated video work, Multi Speed models remain the top recommendation.

Build a Unified Dropzone Identity

A well structured dropzone inventory does not mean everyone wears identical suits. It means maintaining visual consistency across your operations.

Student jumpsuits, tandem passenger gear, tandem pilot pants, AFF instructor suits, and camera suits can feature distinct designs while sharing the exact same color schemes, logos, and visual aesthetic. Our design team creates custom graphics, embroidery, and prints to unify your entire dropzone team.

When guests step onto your airfield, they immediately recognize a professional, cohesive team.

Professional Appearance is an Investment

A professional athlete should look the part. Clean, cohesive, high quality gear builds immediate trust, especially in an industry where guests step out of an airplane thousands of meters in the air minutes later.

Tandem passengers become AFF students, and AFF students become regular jumpers who recommend your dropzone to others. Professional apparel is not an expense, but an investment in your dropzone brand and long term growth.
