I'm considering buying a tracking pants,but I'm wondering whether the belts of the harness to be under or above the pants.Is there difference in performance and if so are the differences significant.

Phoenix Fly Pants are designed to be worn over your harness leg straps, thus creating an even larger and smoother surface.

Way better performance over the harness.The air can flow throughout the pants(in escense like a wing suit).

I had a look at the pressurized pants here in Norway, and are willing to give them a try. But I could see some few things that will not make them fly as good as the Phoenix pants! bigger surface is not always better for distance and speed!

I can promise you the Phoenix fly pants is the best I have seen so far!

www.friluftslek.no check it out if you have not seen it before!

I will let you know if I believe other pants fly better than the poenix! I like there are more than one who make pants, it makes the producers more creative!

Re: [434] tracking pants
if you don´t try, you can´t say. give the pressurized suit 20+ jumps and read what they write about how they work. soon you will realize, that it´s NOT bigger surface that makes them fly...
