Custom Demo Canopies

Recommended Posts

I saw a corporate presentation this week on sponsorship of events by my company. In the presentation, they showed a picture of a demo jump with a flag and demo canopy that had the company logo.

This got me wondering...

Where do all of the "one-off" demo canopies go after the demos?

Do any of you guys have any company logo canopies in your closets?

Just curious.

I used a friends rig for a while after I was off student status back in the eighties that had a huge Tag Heuer logo on it that he got for doing a demo. Had the matching container as well. I tried to buy it off my friend since it fit me perfectly but he was attached to it. My friend later went on to become the XO of the Golden Knights. As far as I know he still has it.

I also used to have a tricked out rig that I got from a guy who used to own a now defunct sunglass company that had his logo on the main and the container. I sold it a few months back to a co-worker as I wasn't jumping it and he needed a rig.

Generally they are kept by the jumper using them, or sold like any other canopy.

Nope. A few jumpsuits/helmets though.
