Phantom fogging problem

[Deimian 43]

First thing you have to do with a full face is practice to open the visor with gloves on the ground, IMO. With gloves I open the visor without problem, even though I must admit that the first few jumps it was tricky, precisely because I didn't practice enough on the ground.

Also, I think your helmet is way too big. Your mouth is completely exposed. In the phantom the mouth is supposed to be hidden by the mouth piece. You are breathing directly into the visor. I suspect your fogging problems come from there. My phantom fits me comfortably, and my mouth is nowhere visible.

It looks to me like your problems with the helmet arise from your own actions.

Most gloves are alright... Thicker ones though, are not.

My helmet fits snug and properly, and my mouth is pointed at the opening. Perhaps the angle of the picture deceived you.

I don't think so. In my helmet, it is impossible to have the mouth pointing anywhere else than the opening, unless I pull down the helmet with my hands. In freefall and normal use of the helmet my nose is touching the top of the padding around the opening. I think there is no way to see my mouth from any angle. But the shape of my melon can be different than the shape of yours, so YMMV.

I purchased my helmet at a dropzone I was visiting because they had a lot in stock at their gear store vs. my home dropzone. The guy who worked the shop was super all about the Phantom. Glad he let me try it, because I saw the fogging issues right away. I had a Z1 a few years ago, and same issues.

I ended up going with the G3 and couldn't be happier. Just spend the few extra bucks and get the G3-- zero issues with that thing.

Apologies for the spelling (and grammar).... I got a B.S, not a B.A. :)
