Icon Containers

[michelin_mike 0]

Hi everyone,

I'm planning on getting a new icon container soon, but I'm having problems picking colours for the container. Does anyone have any pics of theirs, so I can see what other people have decided to go for.

Cheers,

Michael

Have you gone to the web site and played with the rig that you can add colors to? If not chose Icon Sport and click on "buy it now" - then you can play with the color schemes.

Warning - neon and bright colors fade within 3 yrs this is not just the Icon but all rigs (codura that is, I have never ordered parapack so I don't know).

hope this is helpful

The pimp hand is powdered up ... say something stupid

Hi,

Yah I've been messing about with that for a while now, and kinda have something I like. Was just kinda curious to see what everyone else has gone for.

Hi Mike,

What kind of colors are your jump suit(s), this was what made me choose the colors for my Icon.

My jumpsuit is black/orange:

I bought the jump suit second hand, and I don't really want to pick my container colours based on it. Preferably I'd like to get a container that is black/blue and this is what I have been able to come up with so far:

What do you guys think?

I'm not a fan of a trim tape that doesnt match the main container color... I had that on my 1st rig, and now would never pick it again (personal opinion).

Dark blue and black doesn't look good together I think (personal opinion)...but your rig looks quite a bit like mine....Icon is soooo sweet :)

I thought the back logo color was limited to the reserve center flap color....?

You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

yep..you are right...but I made my order a special custom order..so my container will be unique
I think the Icon is a beautiful container but I think the color options can use some improvement. I think coloring the reserve flap and the back logo just looks ugly...and I"m not the only one

Excellent, thanks for the links guys, it's given me more of a view of what the colours look like in real life, and what goes together and what not.

Cheers,

picking the basic black abd blue will help if you want to resell it later
but
I think that there are FAR to many black and blue rigs out there (mine included) my next rig is going to have a bit of vibrant colour on it

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

How's yours doing?

My Icon I3 is all black, with royal blue reserve flaps.

Wioll try get a pic this weekend and post it.

My resaon for black is our DZ is very dusty, with red sand, so it's alot more simple to have dark colours.

Anyway it make it look alot smaller.

Better never to have met you in my dream than to wake and reach for hands that are not there.
