What wingsuit is right for you
Other than main canopies, where more experienced jumpers progress down to smaller canopies, wingsuit progression goes from smaller wingsuits to larger ones. More surface area gives you more power and lift but also means that any small input has a larger impact and that opening is increasingly complicated and the chance of a pilot chute in tow is increased. All manufacturers produce a range of wingsuits to cover you from your first flight course up to professional wingsuit performance competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Besides choosing the right wingsuit you should also make sure that the rest of your gear is suitable for wingsuiting. It is especially important to use a main canopy that is suitable for wingsuiting by having consistent on-heading openings and is large and docile enough. Also the rig should be suitable for wingsuiting with a large enough pilot chute, longer bridle, and easy access to the pilot chute handle.
For your first flight course and the early jumps after it you want a wingsuit that is small and easy to fly, it needs to be deemed FFC-suitable by the manufacturer. A common option is the Squirrel Swift. It is small enough for a beginner but has lots of range and power for a beginner suit allowing you to fly with others in larger suits and progress on the suit for many jumps.
Wingsuits, similar to rigs, are custom built for the buyer when ordered new. However, especially for smaller suits you can easily buy used and save a good deal of money as long as you verify the size well enough. The most important aspect is whether you are able to put tension on the suit in your shoulder area when having your feet together and going on the toes. Furthermore make sure that your hands come out of the arms well allowing you to hold the grippers well. When in doubt ask an instructor or experienced wingsuiter.
