What color is your parachute?

Recommended Posts

I have 2 sabre 190's. One is blue with the #2 and #8 cells purple, the other is black and lime green. See attached.

I like those colours.


But, all in all, Skydive canopies have a long way to go to catch up with the designs on Paragliders.. there are some excellent graphics in the air over them there hills....

My main is all white. Everyone always thinks I had a reserve ride when I land.

Next one will be the same, only the main colour will be blue. Same little centre cell design.



That's exactly the same as Yardhippie's! :o

Mine is yellow, black, yellow on one end and the rest blue. Standard Pilot demo colors, but I like it. :)

Purple & the infamous Aqua-Turquoise-Teal-Jade should be outlawed
[sorry Remster]:D and sorry Karri sweetie.

Unusual colored reserve... Mine is fugly Pepto Pink... it's Airspeed's fault.

Current main is Tangerine top/bottom with Black ribs... [aka pumkin']
The new one is Gold bottom skin, Red top skin and ribs with Black braces.



...ok! so now it's the RIPE TOMATO! :D

Bright enough to find in case of a cutaway.



I wasn't thinking of that when I ordered colors, unfortunately.

Here in the NW, we have so much green out, I have had friends lose me on jumps after deploy when I was below them...too dark and too much green (even though it's neon green)

Edit to add I lost sight of a guy I was jumping with when he was below me, and his canopy was all green (darker than my green, but blended right into the evergeen trees.) The only way I spotted him again was after he turned pretty fast...wasn't any danger, he was well below me. It does go to show what canopy color can do when you're flying with others, though.

Bright colors are always easier to spot... in case of a cutaway or while under canopy makes it easier to keep track of where you are...
