How much does it cost to buy your own skydiving gear?

If you buy new equipment from the USA where most manufacturers are located (there are also manufacturers in e.g. France, South Africa, Russia and New Zealand) it costs about SEK 80,000-90,000 depending on what you choose and what the current USD currency rate is.

However, it is most common that you, as your first own equipment, buy a used one from another jumper. Then you usually end up with about SEK 20,000 – 40,000 depending on age, wear and number of jumps made with it. All equipment, new and old, is inspected at least once a year by special inspectors to make sure it is safe to jump with. Uffes Hopp Shop sells everything a skydiver needs and also has ads on used equipment.
