irrlicht 0 #1 November 3, 2009 hello flying people :-) do you think a suit which has white as maincolours, will sty white for long? and if you make team jumps will grips be visible to the camera? in other words ;-) is it possible to keep the white white and do you have good brightness on videos?

mccordia 73 #4 November 3, 2009 Ive flown a white suit for a long time, and up close it will look like a rag. The white will turn yellow-ish. Every stain shows. But on video/photos, it always looks purdy....so...yes...JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,822 #5 November 3, 2009 I have a white RW suit with well over 1000 jumps on it, and it still looks white despite the best efforts of Perris dirt and Spaceland mud. I wash it frequently - that helps.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moonglo 0 #6 November 3, 2009 in freefall the pics do look pretty white, but see attached picture of me under canopy... this V-1 only has about 200 jumps on it. I'd recommend adding a darker color to the high wear spots - the butt (sitting on the plane), the chest/shoulders (under your rig) and the collar (neck sweat). For worries about seeing grips, try black gloves! (edited to upload pic ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titanium_Gecko 0 #7 November 3, 2009 Back of my S-Fly Expert is white and is still looking good after 95 jumps though odd marks are starting to appear. First ones were from in aircraft, so watch out, then a couple of tiny grass staines. I'm more of a face planting type of person or knees these days, if ever, but have just downsized canopies so feeling a bit more worried....lol.

mccordia 73 #8 November 3, 2009 this suit had about 800+ jumps by the time this picture was taken. It looks slightly grey/yellow-ish up close due to the sunlight. But in general, white as can be for pix and video.JC FlyLikeBrick I'm an Athlete? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
