What To Wear For Indoor Skydiving?

You’ve booked your indoor skydiving adventure; you’re stoked and want to dress the part! When it comes to what to wear for indoor skydiving, you probably have many questions. While we will provide you with all the gear you need, including a jumpsuit, what you wear underneath is still important. Below we will help you choose the perfect attire for your indoor flights.

What Should I Wear Indoor Skydiving?

These what-to-wear tips below go for kids and adults. We have jumpsuits to fit all ages, including our littlest high flyers who can be as young as three years old!

Mobility Matters

Can you wear jeans for indoor skydiving? While we always advise you to dress for comfort, we also want to keep in mind that indoor skydiving is an active sport. Wearing clothing that is fitted and allows a full range of motion will be your best bet. 

As we mentioned previously, you will be provided with a jumpsuit for your indoor flights. You won’t want clothing that is too bulky or that will get bunched up and make you uncomfortable underneath. Opt for athletic wear such as yoga pants, leggings, or fitted sweatpants. These types of clothing will ensure you can move freely and enjoy your flight without any restrictions.

Coverage is Key

We are flying at high wind speeds, so clothing that will protect you from the flapping jumpsuit will also be helpful. Long sleeves and pants not only provide a barrier between your skin and the jumpsuit but also help to keep everything in place. Avoid loose clothing, as it can cause discomfort during flight.

Opt for Lightweight, Moisture-Wicking Clothes

Unlike outdoor skydiving, you don’t have to dress for the weather outside for your indoor flights. Our tunnel is recirculating. This means we have the ability to keep the tunnel warm in the winter and cool in the summer. The temperature is consistent and comfortable! Lightweight, breathable fabrics are ideal. Consider moisture-wicking materials that will keep you dry and comfortable throughout your experience.

Secure Your Hair

Wondering the best way to protect your hair from the high winds and how to prevent helmet hair? We have a few options. Braids can help keep your hair secure, and you can tuck the tails up into the helmet. Another option would be to secure your hair at the nape of your neck, or tuck it on the top of your head, and add cover with a head buff. This is how most of the pro skydivers protect their hair. For those with long hair, double braids or a tight bun can be particularly effective. Remember, you’ll be wearing a helmet, so securing your hair properly is crucial for both safety and comfort.

Closed Toes Shoes FTW

It’s important to pick your kicks correctly! You want close-toed tennis shoes that fit snugly on your feet. Slip-on shoes or those with loose laces can be problematic, as they may come off. High heels, sandals, and open-toe shoes are a definite no-go. If you’re unsure about your footwear, opt for the most reliable pair of athletic shoes that you would wear for running or other sports. Sneakers with good support and a tight fit are ideal.

Additional Tips for a Great Indoor Skydiving Experience

Now that you have the basics down, let’s get into some of the details that tend to get overlooked. 

Jewelry: Remove all jewelry before your flight. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, and watches can be uncomfortable under the jumpsuit and can pose a safety hazard. Keep them safe by keeping them at home or storing them securely before you enter the flight chamber.

Eyewear: If you wear glasses, don’t worry! We have goggles that fit over your glasses. If you wear contact lenses, it’s a good idea to wear them instead to avoid any discomfort or issues with your glasses shifting during the flight.

Hydration and Snacks: Stay hydrated and have a light snack before your flight. Flying can be a bit physically demanding, so having some energy will help you enjoy your experience to the fullest.

Listen to Your Instructor: Pay close attention to the instructions and safety briefings given by your instructor. They will provide you with valuable tips and techniques to make your flight smoother and more enjoyable.
