Best Wingsuit Colors

Recommended Posts

Jarno:
Best breakdown of color schemes EVER.
Laughing too hard to type straight.

I've been flying blue and white the last 6 years myself. Its bright, friendly and cheerful without being quite as entertainingly obnoxious as, say, pink and fluorescent yellow would be. Its a subtle, tasteful sort of boast that just says, "Yes, I actually know how to land."

Flashy, but not ostentatious, with plenty of visibility, so when you smoke some sucker talking trash and flying a PHI, he knows who dusted him and how badly.
Word.

There's a little known wingsuit by-law that requires wingsuit camera dorks to be in yellow and black. See, e.g., the attached. We have matching canopies, too. Probably hard to believe, but none of that was planned.

And yeah, Hoover's colors were grandfathered in.

Does that mean I'm cool? Orange and yellow all the way!



Colorwise there is a point where 'God of the skies' heads more towards 'Queen of the desert':P


'The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert'
Not one of the best films with Hugo Weaving.

But very inspirational, wingsuit-color-wise. ;)

im more af a black, green and yellow mixed up kinda guy



Looks like a Jamaican flag! But it has to wear better than mine (my old HS colors of red/white/black) White is very hard to keep clean on a Cessna DZ where you are on your knees in the plane a lot.
