I thought of making this discussion about Showa Super Sentai, but since most of us here aren't that familiar with Turboranger and Fiveman, and quite a few aren't familiar with Jetman, I thought including them would make this discussion more interesting and comprehensive. The cut-off point for most non-Japanese fans would be Zyuranger anyway, since it was the first Power Rangers.

The following are the pre-Zyu series:

1. Himitsu Sentai Gorenger
2. J.A.K.Q. Dengekitai
3. Battle Fever J
4. Denshi Sentai Denziman
5. Taiyo Sentai Sun Vulcan
6. Dai Sentai Goggle-V
7. Kagaku Sentai Dynaman
8. Choudenshi Bioman
9. Dengeki Sentai Changeman
10. Choushinsei Flashman
11. Hikari Sentai Maskman
12. Choujuu Sentai Liveman
13. Kousoku Sentai Turboranger
14. Chikyu Sentai Fiveman
15. Chōjin Sentai Jetman

As usual, there's this useful poster from Gokaiger which I'll have to link because it's too huge. It's pretty representative except for some of the gender switches.

Which pre-Zyu suits, in your opinion, have aged well? Conversely, which look really bad now?

[Matrixbeast]

Jetman, JAKQ, Liveman, Maskman have all aged well.

The only suits that I would say have aged poorly or are just bad suits are Denziman and Fiveman.

Do you mean the designs or the suits themselves?

Edit: I really need to read.

Well, Jetman first of course is nice probably the one that aged the best. I like Fiveman and Maskman and Flashman. (Favorite one by the way)

[XW1n5t0nX]

Jetman to me is the best one that's aged. Even now they hold up against some of the newer suit designs we've seen in recent years. Out of the others, I'd say JAKQ and and Maskman are the other two pest.

[Megabattimus]

Suits that have aged well:

Goranger
JAKQ
Battle Fever J (except for Miss American of course )
Sun Vulcan
Dynaman
Bioman
Changeman
Flashman
Maskman
Liveman
Turboranger
Fiveman
Jetman

So yeah, basically every suit except for Goggle-V and Denziman.

[GoseiWonder]

Flashman has a pretty good suit design.

[Kiryu]

Battle Fever J suits have not aged well at all guys.

Kind of makes the joke in the Abaranger episode of Gokaiger where Ahim was embarrassed to be wearing the Aba Pink suit rather strange considering the fact that she had no problem fighting in the Miss America suit.

Well that probably has something to do with the fact that Miss America is considered an official Sentai Senshi and all.

[ShockerCon]

I like Sun Vulcan, Denjiman, Changeman, Flashman, Maskman, and Jetman.
And Dairanger.
