I have always gotten a kick out of that. Alot of people make a huge deal about floating wings, but if you have a parachute or a upright wing dry the wings should not be under the water.
Our most effective Isonychia Parachutes has a Antron post and it float just a long as poly or calf body hair.

I do like calf because I feel natural white materials are easier to see then most white polys. I also like the shape calf can make a wing vs turkey flats and it has been working for over 75 years.
