 it seems that all you have to do to get to your toggles is punch your arms forwards and then lift you arms straight up!?!?

come on! is it really that easy? no cut away or cables?
if this is really that easy seems pretty "BASE" to me me?!?!! i mean ease of use and less complication wise! all this from a "non" BASEer?

i got to say i at first thought that tony suits were not BASE to me! but now i gotta say the "arm wing able to grab your toggle deal without unzipping thing" is great and very BASE to me!
but is really like that?

can someone whose basEed them testfy?

even someone whose not a normal poster and really jumps and doesnt just interweb base jump?

Safety, I jump phoenix fly and have never jumped tony, so I can't speculate on that, but I do know toggle reach is achieved the way you speak of on the intro, and esburg (spelling?) a buddy has one and he talks about this a lot and loves it. Suit has major hang time and good distance as well (esburg).

It works, you reach up and raise your knees slightly at the same time. There is some resistance which i find annoying under canopy so i normally still unzip.

The only other thing is to be aware of is how much clothing you have on i.e. putting a thick jacket on in winter will impede your reach - a couple of thin thermal layers would still work though.
