Nice pictures. I think I am going white top/bottom and multicolored ribs in between, but.. let's see some more! How is the white holding up for you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites bob.dino 1 #7 October 12, 2005 The Sensei that Brian Germain is flying on the cover of The Parachute And Its Pilot is white with colored ribs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jdfreefly 1 #8 October 12, 2005 The last two parachutes I bought had white top and bottom skin with colored ribs. I have been told by several different people that they have a much harder time keeping track of where I am under canopy than they do others who have multicolored top and bottom skins. My next canopy will not have an all white top skin and bottom skin. Style is certainly important in this sport, but it is not worth your life or the life of one of your friends.

Thanks! While probably a valid safety concern (that hasn't occurred or been mentioned to me), it is small enough to be dismissed... that's sort of like choosing your car color because statistically silvery cars are less involved in accidents. Okay, I will yield to the pressure and get stabilizers in eye-hurting red Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites divegoddess 0 #12 October 14, 2005 cool! I was wondering what they looked like in the air. Thanks for the pics Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ZigZagMarquis 9 #13 October 14, 2005 Wow! White canopies that aren't reserves... Just kidding. They all look GREAT! Its just that white is not a very popular color in main canopies where I jump... the Mojave Desert... where White tends to turn to Tan rather quickly. Hey, thanks all for the pics though, they're really cool... and what's that green stuff y'all are landing on??

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites HeatherB 0 #19 October 17, 2005 White top skin = bad idea...especially for the center cell. They look NASTY after a while due to sweaty/dirty packers. I had a "Irish flag" colored Sabre when I first started jumping. The white center cell turned yellow/brownish from being packed by sweaty packers. My current canopy is pink in the middle (it was a demo!) and I wear a shirt while packing. (of course) Big difference! The center cell is still purty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites ZigZagMarquis 9 #20 October 17, 2005 Quote ...and I wear a shirt while packing.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #21 October 19, 2005 Those canopies are really pretty, but from what I've seen, canopies like that can be a lot harder to spot, unless the sun is shining straight through them to light up the colors.
