Founded in 1975 and owned by Rob Colpus. Initially based in Central London but relocating in 1983 to  Headcorn Aerodrome; an active and busy drop zone.  Symbi Suits, as they are  popularly known, are specialist “jump suit” manufacturers.  They design and make suits for use by all the disciplines within the sport of parachuting/skydiving for individuals as well as display and competition teams both civilian and military. Also on their list of garments are other aspects of clothing usually with parachuting in mind but not necessarily.  Their range of outdoor winter ” warm-ware” became an acknowledged fashion accessory in the 1980s and 90s and is still popular today, particularly around parachute centres.
