bwilling 0 #51 October 10, 2006 Here's one with a little less blue, and a little more tie dye... but still using your original colors. "If all you ever do is all you ever did, then all you'll ever get is all you ever got." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
normiss 798 #52 October 10, 2006 That's because it's a Wings! I think they look like Strongbad as previously mentioned! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjhdiver 0 #55 October 10, 2006 QuoteQuoteThis is a better use of the tie dye IMHO. Ooo, I like that one! See, thats why I asked. I know what I like, but I have no artistic tendencies whatsoever so I can't design anything. Thanks. Here's the thinking about tie dye. We have to do it by hand at the factory, so no two lots are exactly the same. However, putting it on the reserve container does a great job of masking any wrinkles from a settled pack job, and having it on the midflaps makes it easy to replace if it gets faded. I always advise to keep it off surfaces that could wear easily and be hard to replace. Also, a little of it goes a long way. Two of my three Wings have tie dye.

Squeak 17 #59 October 11, 2006 QuoteOh, gee, guess I'm a geek... I kinda like the tye-dye. But actually, the only reason I put it on there is cuz it's a free option this month. Ok, its too busy? Geez, and I thought I wasn't using enough colors! So should I get rid of the blue parts? What color is it U think won't age well? Are there objections to the purple/yellow combination? I think white looks nice with purple, but I didn't want to get white cuz it'll get dirty fast. Thanks, guys! BTW, I'm a girl.

Samurai136 0 #60 October 11, 2006 QuoteQuoteI think it looks like a seasick Strongbad vomiting on himself. I think you're being easy on him. That might be the ugliest design I've ever seen. And I've seen rigs for resale that have been spray painted to hide what's underneath. The best advice on a new rig I ever got.... Buy Black. The more black the better.

Jeth 0 #61 October 11, 2006 Ok, how about this one? I'm liking it better. Got some black in it, no tie-dye (thinking of resale value on this one), and I like the purple harness.

That would be inappropriate Jeth, one thing I would say about any colours you chose, be mindful of the parts that you touch regularly, like the riser covers, main pin flap and reserve pin flap. you hands WILL get dirty and regular contact with these parts will lead to them showing dirt and grime, in a short tmeYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Jeth 0 #66 October 11, 2006 Ya, well, thats why I picked purple for most of it, it's a dark color. I'm sure I'll be horrified the first smudge I get on it, but thats the way it goes.
