I was chatting about this with another member and now I'm curious. For those of you with a set of Revs... are they matching sets? For example, if you own a B-Series set of standard, mid vent, and full vent sails, etc... are they the same color scheme or is each a different pattern? Do you ever regret not matching things up, or do you embrace variety?

Matching and mixed

I like variety, plus I can't afford a zillion Revs. So I prefer to have them in different cool color combinations.

[kitefantex]

My Bs are matched.others are mixed.

Our matching Rev sets.

1 pair matching SULs

2 pair matching standard sail.

3 pair matching vented.

The SULs match one pair of standards and one pair of vented. Six matching sails.

No matched Revs; in fact no matched kites of any kind. There are just too many color combinations out there to begin limiting myself to a single combination.

That said, I do like yellow, and given a choice at the store or website, I will tend to pick kites that are yellow, or yellow in combination with other colors.

Matching, TK too.

MATCHING
My first Rev was a 1.5 SLE. It was a gift, so I was happy with the color, it didn't matter

My next Rev was a B-series Full-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, I liked that]
My next Rev was a B-series Std Sail (Black & Purple) [For some reason, that kite just didn't look right in the sky(?) to me]
My next Rev was a B-series Mid-Vent (Black & Lime) [Alright, now that looked more like it, again]
My next Rev was a B-series Std sail (Black & Lime) [Voilà! My set was now complete, and matching]

Different strokes for different folks............It's definately a personal thing ! Do what feels right to you !

My sets all match. The vast majority of my kites are red and black. My Rev indoor and my rev 2 that I fly indoors have the same panel layout and colors. My custom full sail and full vent B's match, and my current set of B-Pros match but with different colors than the rest of my kites. I do have those outliers as well. But, yes I like my red and black matching kites.

[quaa714]

some matched, some mixed......ALL lovingly flown & beat up to resemble each other!!!!!!!

[monkey]

My pros all match however, but the rest? Whatever color caught my fancy at the time.

[stroke survivor]

Mixed! Built my collection up over time and picked up sails that I liked!! But I do favor blue colored sails!!!

[kitecowboy]

oh ya, and mixed.

[fungus]

i've got a matched set of 1.5's

but recent ones are mixed, altho my ZEN and B Pro are blue fade

don't know whether i'll match in future

Mixed....except for a hot Sedgwick 1 and 2 (like the one...1991...in timeline at top of page...). These were NOT bought as a set or meant to be a match or set....lucked out on the 2....so I`m not counting them as a "set" although they do "match".

Most of mine are matching. I also have a pink B-series standard and vented for the wife. Then the only 3 odd ball ones that don't match are my B2, My original SLE from '99 and 20th Anniversary Rev.

How sad am I I even buy the sets that match the team sets. I like flying Rev's so like to get a set myself so I can fly any time. Also it means my son has a set to use that the team doesn't subsidise.
