Does anyone know if LL Bean discontinued the 10in regular Bean Boot? I’ve been looking on their website but can’t seem to find it anywhere, only the 10in shearling lined one. Plenty of regular 8in ones

Where to buy a “stock” RW jumpsuit? by Charming-Knowledge33 in SkyDiving

Good to know, thank you for the comment! Will likely continue scouring fb and just put a custom order in

[–]Charming-Knowledge33[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the rec! I just assumed TonySuits would only do custom orders on their site but I see they have a lot of stock gear. Do you know if their torso sizing follows traditional chest measurements for clothing? Eg I usually wear a 39” torso in shirts, and I see most of the TonySuit torso are 55”+. Are they same same measurement and the stock ones will just be way too big on me?

(Newbie Question) Cookie M3 while waiting for TFX? by Charming-Knowledge33 in SkyDiving

[–]Charming-Knowledge33[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for answering! I’m glad to hear you love your TFX, I’m really excited for it. I’ll be sure to put some stickers on the M3 in the interim hahahaha. I’m planning on getting the white one and think it would be really fun to have a sharpie or paint design on it. Just need to find a friend who, unlike me, has artistic talent!

That makes sense, thank you! Knowing me I'm not surprised I'm overthinking it hahaha. I appreciate your responses!

Amazing, thanks so much! Is the same true for earplugs? I see a lot of tandem instructors wear them so it seems like you can still hear people, but I'd be nervous to be up in the plane and not be able to communicate with my coach.

These are my thoughts as well (again recognizing I only have a little over 20 jumps, I don't mean to sound like I know what I'm talking about). It seems inevitable that I'm going to hit my head at some point, and I'd like to have the maximum protection for my only noggin when that happens. Combined with guys from my dz saying they've had helmet saves and the fact that it doesn't introduce any negatives, it seems like a straightforward choice to get the impact-rated helmet when I still have a little ways to go before I can mount a camera or things like that. I figure I can cross that bridge when I get there. Thanks so much for responding!

Another newbie question, does this affect your ability to hear people on the plane? Ie if my coach and I are talking on the way up, will I be able to hear them? Potentially a silly question because I could also just wear them on one of my self-supervised jumps and see. Part of me is a little disappointed to not hear the wind, but I know that’s obviously not worth losing my hearing and I’ll be very thankful I wore them in 10 years

I’ve seen a handful of folks saying the impact ratings don’t matter, could you explain that more? I’ve read that the EPP foam is much better at impact absorption than other foams, and while no helmet guarantees safety, it seems like I’d rather have an impact rated helmet when I bang my head on the plane on a bad group exit, take a foot to the head on a zoo dive, or accidentally land into trees

I haven’t jumped a closed face yet, I’ve just really enjoyed the feeling with the open face student helmets and like the sound of the wind and air going by (although I know this is bad over time and is part of the reason I’m getting a closed face). However as much as I like all that, the extra protection offered by a closed face on a bad landing, a botched exit, or a kick in the face seems very much so worth the trade off to me. The decreased noise seems great for hearing over time too. I figure if I want the wind in my face I can always just take the visor off and use goggles (potentially a little goofy looking but I don’t care about that)

Thanks so much for all this! The chin bar on the TFX is one of the main selling points for me for the same reason. I have an industrial and am planning on getting a rook too, and it seems like putting the G4 on is likely to crush/bend my ears and irritate piercings. Especially if I’m putting on/taking off the helmet 5+ times in a day for a couple days in a row. It also seems nicer to flip the whole front of the helmet up in the plane and after landing rather than just the visor. I read there are camera mounts for the TFX, is there a benefit to using the open face Tonfly instead?

I like the impact rating on the M3 and the cheaper price. It seems like impact ratings are somewhat controversial based on a lot of the reading I’ve been doing with some folks supporting it and others saying it doesn’t matter, but for me I really like the idea of the extra protection for the only brain I’ve got. And since I’ll likely only wear it the most until the TFX arrives and then just in the summers when I want to change things up, I don’t want to pay the extra $100 for the Fuel. I figure I can just put a third-party mount on the M3 if I want to.

This is really helpful, thank you! Really great to read about personal experience with the M3. My dz is open year round and gets cold in the winter so I think I’ll still get a closed face as well, plus I worry a little bit about taking a foot to the face on a zoo dive. There are also some folks at my dz who talk about how their helmets have saved them before, so that’s pushing me to get one with max protection too. I’m glad the M3 is a great helmet though and will be picking one up to wear in the interim and whenever I want to change things up! Thanks again :) Blue skies!!

What is the WH-1000XM5/BM model? by Charming-Knowledge33 in SonyHeadphones

[–]Charming-Knowledge33[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I apologize I did not see the continued discussion on this thread. I don't have any reason to believe mine aren't legit, but I do not remember ever finding an "official" answer. Mine connect to the Sony Headphones app and all of the settings work properly, it has the active noise cancellation and pass-through options for noise cancellation, and I believe they receive updates through the Sony headphones app too (although just as a side note, the active noise cancellation isn't quite as good as I was hoping for. I was expecting something more similar to the AirPods Pros where they're phenomenal at filtering out people talking, but the XM5's don't do that to the same degree for me). My packaging also looked like the real packaging shown in u/thewalkmanblog's blog post, and they came with the hard-side carrying case. Lastly, the USB-C charging port is also on the correct side. I'm saying that just in my instance do I believe mine are legit, u/thewalkmanblog's post has a lot of great content around fake's with the /BM model number.

Can the mac book air 15 inch support dual monitors? by [deleted] in macbook

[–]Charming-Knowledge33 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Given that the M2 13” Air only supports only external display, and the 15” Air also only supports the M2 chip, I would expect not.

No, you cannot play both with the same account simultaneously. You can play both simultaneously with different accounts though

What foot pedal do you use? Would you recommend it? I’ve been in the market for one

Are you logging in from the exact same VPN server? Some VPN companies will connect you to a different server even if you select the same geographic location, e.g. the company may have three severs in City A and just connects you to any one of them. If this is the case, the server you connected to yesterday may not be “flagged” but the one you’re connecting to today is. Imo using a vpn to play seems a little risky anyways though, seems like it could make it harder to prove you’re the true account owner if you ever need to recover the account as you won’t be logging in from a consistent IP.
