I was wondering who makes wings which are other colours aside from Black? I know that OMS has the red ones and that Zeagle will make wings different colours with a specail order, but is there anyone else?

Thanks for the info
 
dive rite does red & blue...
 
Just to stir the pot, I wonder why Halcyon doesn't have colored wings (and why GUE doesn't insist on them). Is there some advantage to being harder to see?

I think black is just the most popular color. The advantage is it looks cool and shows wear/stains less than other, especially light, colors.

Blacthorn,

We have made wings in Black, Purple, Pink and Cammo, black is our only "stocked color, others are special order.

One reason IMO, that black is used for the majority of wings is the ready availablity of Balck ballistic nylon fabric. While it's possible to get ballistic in other colors, it's not as widely available.

We have ballistic in black, and a few yards in Purple. For other colors we use 1000 denier nylon cordura.

Regards,



Tobin
 
Black is definitely the best color, IMHO. :D
 
thanks for the very rapid responses. Gotta love this board :)

A purple wing is so tempting....:)
