No clue where you would put your go pro of if your audable would work in such a helmet. But the price looks very nice!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

I saw some similar helmets for pilots at Oshkosh this year, the only this that caught my eye was some of the glued on leather was already peeling back on the display models! Great looking lids, just not sure how practical they would be...then again it's all about lookin' good! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #4 October 28, 2011 I have no clue why they charge so much for skydiving helmets, maybe these lower cost helmets may help some who are short on cash pick up a helmet. Would it work in the air? Who knows right? Anything is better than nothing!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay.

Would it work in the air? Who knows right? Anything is better than nothing! "They" charge so much because the market is teeny tiny. As I hope you're learning in that MBA program of yours, prices come down when you can spread your fixed cost of production over a larger number of units. Pro-tecs are $25-30. Why? Because they're used across all kinds of sports & activities. And a lot of skydivers buy them. So buy one of those, or go design your own helmet and figure out a way to sell it for a lower price.

Would it work in the air? Who knows right? Anything is better than nothing No, anything is not better than nothing. If it blocks too much of your vision, has too high of a profile and a riser snags it, or the visor blows off at any time, you would have been better off with nothing. It's not helping people to have them watse $300 on a helmet they can't use for jumping. Benny, $65. BH Echo, $125, Hurricane $205, BH Mindwarp-Gunner-All Sport, $210, Cookie M1, $210. Cookie Rok, $225. Cookie Ozone, $260. Nvertigo X, $270. All cheaper than what you posted, all designed, built and proven for skydiving. As an added bonus, none of them will make you look like a cross between a 'confused' metrosexual on a Stella, and the pilot of an X-wing fighter. I left out the $40 Protec and the $100 Gath as neither were designed and built for jumping. Both, however, proven over countless jumps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
