Just did my first jump yesterday on a bit of a lark. It was fantastic and I am considering my AFF but I had a question about free fall. I was really surprised at how painfully cold my face felt during free fall. The ambient temperature on the ground was about 63F(~17C) but during free fall my face hurt so much from the cold that it was hard to enjoy it. I really much preferred my time under canopy. Do people wear masks or helmets to help protect their face? That said, probably going to wait until spring before I consider getting my AFF for financial and weather related reasons. Also, for those in the Austin area, the Salado drop zone was pretty good from a newbie standpoint. They made my first experience very memorable and I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

IMJack posted:This is why I was told to get non-tinted goggles. Your instructors need to see your eyes. Sounds reasonable. I'll ask if one of those half ski masks which leaves the top half of face exposed is acceptable. It really made the free fall less fun than I hoped. Thanks for the feedback spoon daddy fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Nov 27, 2014 |
