Some pics of my track suit, used in Superterminal.

Built the pants from scratch, cords attached inside it on loops attached in the reinforcing (webbing)
The jacket is a heavily modified rainjacket, and the elastics are attached to the jacket like with the pants. I`ve got handles to hold the jacket tight with, and the tubs are used to widen it all the way. When I let go of the handle, the elastics make the handles and sleew retract making the pull clean and easy.

Putting the cord/elastics on the back makes the armwing smoother, and it attacks the air in a better angle then if in front. (lower angle of attack, means less drag, more speed and thus more lift..)

Enough info for now, you got figure something out for your self you lazy americans..

Peace out,
Andreas

What material did you use or recommend and how did you come up with pattern design? The rain jacket looks thick.... The pants look thick as well..

Figure out something for ourselves.... Lazy americans... you forgot "stupid" or a term we use here in traffic in Miami..."DUMB ASS".....

Thanks for the Pics.... Now go eat a cheese burger...

The material used in the pants is a single layer of coated cordura. not thicker than a pair of jeans.
The jacket is very thin, single layer of rainjacket material. (like a waterproof sportsjacket)

Not much use of patterns, just try and error mostly on the jacket. Used a lot of needles to make the right fit before sewing though.

The pants are basiclly two pieces of fabrick, one front and one back. A lot of needles and try and error there as well. (Dont have the patiens to make patterns etc. just go for it!)

I had most of the design and solutions already figured out, based on earlier designs and gear the other guys had made or was making, so i already had a clear image in my head. And that always makes it easier.

Awesome!! Like I said in my other Track suit post, I'd make one for myself if I actually had the ability to do so! I've got no skill in that area.

Hey! Maybe you should start a company!!
