Opinion on White Wingsuit

[Johnkelley 3]

For my next wingsuit, I'm thinking about getting a white wingsuit, or at least white on the front, and black on back. My main concern is not only how dirty it will get, but from photos/videos I'm seeing, white seems to fade faster than any other color. I don't know what it is, but when looking at a white wingsuit that has been used for a little while, it looks really ragged out while other wingsuits with the same amount of use but different colors seems to still look relatively new.

What is your opinion/experience with white wingsuits?

It will look worse faster. I had white on my first wingsuit, my second one does not. Remember the first rule of skydiving and life.

My wingsuits are all black and white, you just have to accept that yes, the white will get visibly dirtier quicker. I don't feel like they look any more ragged out than an equally ragged out suit of another colour.

I prefer more white than black so I get less hot wearing them in summer. I choose black for the parts I know will get dirty the quickest - knee and butt area due to moving around/sitting in the plane.

I have an all white wingsuit. Although it does get grubby very easily, despite that it stands out in the sky very well. The white reflects all the light. You can't see the dirt on video. I would get a white one again.

Anyone have tips for washing a Squirrel WS? One guy I know mentioned he doesent wash it at all because the one time he tried it adversely affected the flight of the suit after.

Read the manual. You can find it on their website :)

Go for it ;) i have 2 full white suits. Reb2 has 500+ jumps, needs a wash.

Does a simple wash actually make it look clean again? Or is the color still faded out?

Give it a spray with scotchgard sun shield. It helps to clean easily and also gives it some uv protection to help with fading. I put that on my ATC although its black but its holding up in the desert environment that I jump in.

I had Funk1, all white for 100+ jumps, now have Funk 2 and Freak 2 (white fronts).
Wouldn't say it wears faster than other colors - e.g. if I compare back side (black on Funk2, violet on Freak2) and the front side
