Im not planning on getting any soon, just a thought...

When the pants are inflated, and over the leg straps, has there ever been an iissue with the pants inflated covering the hackey/PC ?

Thanks

Unless you put them on wrong, or your pants have a gigantic ass, I wouldnt think so. Ive worn them in this manner for a couple of base jumps and maybe 25 skydives and never even thought of that issue.

Talk to the Seattle kids about how to make your own tracking pants...

Tracking pants???? I thought the Gordons fisherman lost his trousers!! The ones with the 'easy pee' holes

I hope you're referring with "hackey" to a standard PVC-pipe, I've always thought that heavier hackeys used in skydiving are big no-no for BASE purposes. But to a original question, if you don't make / purchase any extra super large massive huge oversized pants you should be fine. I've made myself about 100'ish jumps with PF pants and never had any problems with pants covering PC, nor have I ever heard from anyone who would have had problems like that. Someday it might happen though so leave yourself some margin. Just in case.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

#91 on the list. This was a suspected cause.
Also, #71 with the hackey issue.
hope this helps.
Take care,
