What should I wear for my skydiving experience?
For your skydiving experience, it’s best to wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed-toe shoes. A t-shirt or light top with long pants or shorts is ideal, and avoid loose items like scarves or flip-flops. If it’s cold, wear a warm layer or a jacket, and you may also want to bring sunglasses.
