FAQs > General > What should I wear to skydive?
Well.. it depends on the season. Luckily in Florida we only have 2 so it makes things a little easier.
Hot Season: Bare Minimums! Closed toed, sport style shoes are the most important. Beyond that, wear whatever makes you comfortable and doesn't restrict movement. Avoid fancy clothes since there is a chance you will get to experience your first controlled butt-slide. Jumpsuits are available to avoid grass stains and increase your skydiving experience.
Cold Season: Dress warm (but not tooo warm)! Again, closed toed, sport style shoes are the most important. A thermal under layer with flexible outer layer is common. Avoid tight or restricting jeans (they also provide very little in terms of warmth). Long sleeve thermals and shirts covered with a hoodie or sweater also help. If you can, bring your own gloves. Some will be provided if necessary, but don't expect to get a matching pair.
We are NOT responsible for jewelry that is lost or damaged as a result of your skydive. Earrings and necklaces are not stress tested for 120+ mph winds. Please keep this in mind.
