KrisFlyZ 0 #1 September 12, 2011 Ok, so I was chatting with the local dz wingsuit crowd and the topic of the colors I chose for my on order wingsuits... v4(Navy and Orange--my favourite ones in the Indian flag) and p2(black and orange) came up. Purple Mike immediately pointed out that I need to be consistent with my color choices otherwise people will not recognize me from my pictures. It is not such a big concern to me. Do you care about Brand-you? Are all your wingsuits the same colors? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maxtreme 0 #2 September 13, 2011 Yeah.. all my suits are mostly pink, 'cause of smoke... next one is black ok there will be some white too to colour it later with pink ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tr027 0 #3 September 13, 2011 Not really. I prefer to distinguish 'Brand-me' by the actual flying of the suit (which is captured better in memories not photos) rather than suit colors.

DSE 5 #7 September 13, 2011 mine are all blue/yellow. That way when I screw up, folks think its Monkey or Rick H. If I put a student in blue/yellow, folks think it's me anyway. Consistency contributes to confusion. Then there are those Ill Vision guys...you never know WHO is WHO in all that purple. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought the best suit in our flock ...I am the guy flying video. I think that Adrian's red and white (leading edges...v2) suit looks really nice in pics and video. Brian tried my Orange and black V3 last week and I videoed it. The color was running in the video...atleast at 720p with the go pro. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrisFlyZ 0 #15 September 14, 2011 It is a well known fact that orange and yellow are known to add more performance to the suit . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Titanium_Gecko 0 #19 September 14, 2011 The answer is "Oh YES!" Shiny snickers to match wingsuit plus model being called "Sky Speed 2" New container (for me) yet to be jumped to match wingsuit Starting to a bit more consistent in wearing my brand T-Shirt or one to match the wingsuit colors And hoping Santa will get me a suitably colored canopy let alone dreaming about a new WS model possibly on the horizon in Electric Blue & White!!
