Nightingale 0 #2 May 10, 2004 hmm.... see if you can get them to send you a color sample if your gear store doesn't have swatches. sometimes, colors on computer monitors look very different than in real life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frenchy68 0 #3 May 10, 2004 Try http://www.skydivewings.com/ They may have photos of the containers in the colors you mentioned. Have you tried other containers? Smack me if I am out of place, but ordering a container after 15 jumps may be a little risky. Are you sure you'll still be happy with it after 200 jumps? 400? Make sure you purchase something that you won't find obsolete in 6 months when you know more about the sport. In any case, have fun jumping whatever it is you are jumping Cheers, Nick "For once you have tasted Absinthe you will walk the earth with your eyes turned towards the gutter, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

Ncrowe 0 #4 May 10, 2004 Yeah i've been all through their website but can't seem to find a gold colored rig. I won't smack you but I don't think buying a new container is too crazy. I'm defintly going to be doing this for quite some time, im hooked big time. And I 'll be able to buy a container that fits a 170 which i'll be able to jump for at leats 200-300 jumps then downsize to a 150 for who knows how long. After looking for a complete rig for sometime now I'm about ready to give up just buy a new container it'll only end costing me maybe 500 more dollars in the long run.

falxori 0 #5 May 10, 2004 QuoteSmack me if I am out of place, but ordering a container after 15 jumps may be a little risky. why ? if you research andd talk to people and know you'll keep jumping. i've ordered my wings when i had about 20 jumps. and after 2.5 years and 200 jumps, it still looks almost new. as for downsizing, i doubt i'll go below my 170 anytime soon. wings are cool O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

mr2mk1g 10 #6 May 10, 2004 How about my Wings in tie-dye red and yellow - it comes out a kinda orange: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_attachment;postatt_id=19638; Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #7 May 10, 2004 There is a thread on here called "post your wings" or something like that, so just do a search for it and you will find pics of both of my Wings containers. One has a lot of orange on it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitof1976 0 #8 May 10, 2004 Here is my BLACK and ORANGE wings container. It's about a year old... I don't have a picture of it when it's packed up because I used this pic to sell my canopy. But nonetheless, it should give you a pretty good idea of what the orange looks like on the Wings. Hope this helps! "We see the world just the way we are...

Ncrowe 0 #9 May 11, 2004 Cool thanks for the replys, I'm leaning towards either gold or a blue colored rig, the orange is just too orange if that makes any sense at all. Any gold wings out there ??
