All the above were recorded when this Skywalk paraglider was flown at max weight.
Color Schemes
The simple graphics below represent the available color schemes for the Skywalk Poison. I hope this approach is useful for getting a good idea of the colors when quickly comparing wings. Most paragliders have a basic wing color plus something different adorning the leading edge. You might be able to get a detailed look at one of the color schemes from the manufacturer's picture further down this page.
white leading edge, 2 stripes, white trailing edge
white leading edge, 2 stripes, black trailing edge
