1 piece or 2 piece flight Suit

[stormnorman]

I'm looking to get my first flight suit but i dont know whether to go with a 1 piece or 2 piece design. which is more comfortable?

If they are proper fitting both are comfortable. It all depends on how accurate you want to be. A one piece flight suit is required for brigade (Mando Mercs) or Tier 2 (501st Legion) attainment.

arkady is the best here to get a one piece flight suit made from. She has made many members here their flight suits.
mine is good fitting and comfy.

I have a 2 piece and want a one piece. Pants always sag down. You can always make the 2 piece one piece but overall i would prefer the stability of the one.

I haven't heard this before. In fact, there is no level 2 requirements for the flightsuit on the ESB CRL. I don't think it matters as it's not visible at all.
Every other level 2 or 3 requirement is something you can see (such as a specific material, color or a part that should be used) or functionality (servo for level 3).
The mojo behind the scenes doesn't matter as long as it looks good.

Take it up with Major. All I can state is what the detachment lead (and person who approves tier 2/3 approvals) told me when I submitted for tier 2 last year. While the crl does not state you can't have two pieces, the image provided of the flightsuit clearly is one piece not two.

There are posted requirements tier 2 and tier 3 for RoTJ for the flight suit. The current 2 piece MOW suit does not meet these standards.

Second this! Mine fits like a glove. I keep my suit on a mannequin most of the time and thats the only time I wish I had a two piece (as it would be much easier to put on a take off).

I've had both (in all fairness my first one was a train wreck). My first suit was a 2 piece and I constantly ran into trouble after about an hour of it shifting around the waist and causing it to sag around the hips and crotch. It worked fine and I actually wore suspenders under top which caused different problems later. It was easy to suit up but a pain if it dropped around the waist when you put on the girth, belts etc. You couldn't adjust it.

I got a 1 piece after the first year back in like 2000-2001 to fit my exact frame and I loved it. Now the problem is the chest is snug and the neck is almost painful but I wouldn't go back to a 2 piece personally. Gravity wasn't kind to my 2 piece but it's fine with the 1 piece. Just stay the same size and weight and you'll be fine haha.

1 piece all the way for this guy.
