The Science of Dorlastan, Second Skin Suit

Whether you are carving through the air on a skydive or mastering body flight in a wind tunnel, your apparel is your most crucial tool. Custom-made flying apparel needs to act as an aerodynamic extension of your body. That is why the secret to our high-performance flight suits lies in a remarkable material blend featuring Dorlastan.

The Ultimate in Flight Performance

Our suits are crafted from a specialized blend of 96% polyester and 4% Dorlastan elastane. Dorlastan is a high-quality, premium elastane (spandex) fiber engineered to provide high-stretch and reactive forces for superior comfort, alongside high-elastic retention for a lasting, form-fitting shape [1, 2]. Because of the specific knitted construction we use, our heavyweight 370 fabric absorbs a lot of drag and allows you to "sink" into the wind perfectly. This performance is structurally supported by Dorlastan's ability to be processed on fine knitting machines to create tightly constructed, reliable power nets and stretch fabrics [3, 4]. The result is a second-skin fit that moves with you, never against you, optimizing your stability and control in the tunnel or the sky.

Unmatched Customization: Embroidery and Printing

We know that custom flying apparel is all about expressing your unique identity or team branding. Because we use a wide variety of customizations, we ensure that intricate embroideries and vibrant printing are front and center in our designs. Dorlastan is the perfect canvas for these heavy customizations because it boasts excellent dyeability, allowing for uniform colors, brilliant shades, and clarity [5]. Furthermore, modern eco-friendly variations of Dorlastan offer excellent dyeing behavior and anti-yellowing properties [5]. This ensures that whether you are applying a bold custom print or detailed embroidery, the fabric holds the design beautifully without compromising its incredible elasticity or visual punch.

Built Tough for the Elements

Skydiving exposes your gear to intense elements, but our fabric blend is built to endure. The Dorlastan fiber offers excellent molding performance and high UV resistance [5]. Additionally, the 96% polyester base provides durable, quick-drying, and wrinkle-resistant properties that hold up to hard wear [6, 7]. This means that even after countless jumps under the harsh sun, your suit maintains its structural integrity, and your custom prints stay vibrant without premature fading.

When you step into the wind tunnel or exit the aircraft, you need to trust your gear completely. By combining our specialized Polish-made knitted construction and ANTS finish with the exceptional stretch, recovery, and color-holding science of Dorlastan, we create custom flight suits that look incredible and perform flawlessly.
