LoftusRoadLad

Auxvache
I have a headache after shopping online for new pants to wear in the cockpit. R.A.S. never lets me down, so...
Anyone know which company makes lightweight cargo pants that have zippered front/side pockets (so the cell phone stays in if you bail out), and a zippered fly (relief system-friendly)? ...

Some gliders safer than others? by

Are some glider designs much safer than others? Or do certain designs put their pilots at risk for certain types of injuries during a crash?
