Goggles, helmets and gloves are all provided. A large selection of jumpsuits of varying size are available at most airfields.

The jumpsuit you will be given is worn over your normal clothing. Air temperature decreases the further you go up. In the winter, or when it is cold at ground level, it will be colder at full altitude, and so lots of thin warm layers are a good idea. In the summer, or on a warm day, you can jump in just a t-shirt and shorts underneath your jumpsuit.

Generally speaking, you should wear loose fitting, warm comfortable clothing. Flat soled shoes, trainers or other securely fitting shoes should also be worn. You should not wear tight fitting or restrictive clothing. Tight jeans are normally a bad choice.

Ear plugs are not provided and so if you wish to wear ear plugs then please arrange and purchase these individually and at your expense prior to the day of your skydive.

Hair

If you have long hair then please bring hair bands to tie and secure your hair as appropriate. You will be able to tuck long hair into the back of your jumpsuit or under your helmet.

Naked/Underwear Skydive

It is sometimes possible to do a naked/underwear skydive although it will be rather cold at full altitude. If you wish to do a naked skydive then we must first seek approval from the airfield and find a willing instructor. Please contact us if you wish to do this.

Fancy Dress

It is sometimes possible to skydive in fancy dress however the outfit must be in no way restrictive or loose. Dressing up as a super hero with a cape and foam inserts for fake muscles is a definite no. Please contact us with further details of your intended outfit if you wish to do this.

If you wish to wear a t-shirt over the top of your jumpsuit then this can sometimes be arranged. Holes will need to be cut in the back of the t-shirt to allow the harness clips to clip on to the harness worn over the jumpsuit. Please speak to your skydiving instructor on the day of your skydive if you wish to do this.
