Under Armor COLD gear, thicker gloves, full face helmet, heating packs in your jumpsuit for your hands on the ride to altitude...plan your breakoff a tad higher to account for the reduced feeling in your hands due to gloves and cold...

Hot! Ready, set.....

(Oh, don't ever float, always dive. Make the new guys float) :D

Last year we were jumping in January... really a shitty weather day and jumping a twin-bo' so it was cold all the way up. One of the guys on the jump had to dump his reserve because he couldnt get the hackey out at pull time. On top of that, the guy spotting put us out long and most of the group ended up landing in yards, fields, tip of runway etc........

...we only teased him a little bit

The weather was the least of your problems that day.:p That's one airframe if I never jump again I'm happy. A Cessna 182 beats that mess. LOL

PM inbound.
