Yea sorry maybe should have also put - I'm currently still a "student" but am going to Cyprus in a few weeks on a jumps course so should come away with - or at least very close to - my B Licence and then have another 2 week course planned for the day after Cyprus so either way - by mid - end September I should be B Licence. Just thought it'd be something different then the clear ones but I guess there's a reason they are the way they are. Cheers

I've recently got my hands on a second hand Bonehead Mamba which has been jumped about 12 - 14 times! The helmet itself is pretty much spankers but the lens has got some damage to it from - I assume - tunnel time. Looking around at some replacements and was wondering - is it possible to get lenses for the helmet that are either dark/tinted or mirrored? Jus thought it'd be different to the usual clear ones...?

Afternoon all, I know there are tonnes of posts like this already on DZ and I apologise for adding another one.... Soon I will be going over to Cyprus on a course and - all been well - getting in many many jumps and finally - after been weathered off repeatedly in the UK - gaining my A Licence. By the time this happens I'm going to be getting close to 20 - 25 jumps and, by the end of the course creeping up towards my B Licence. Slowly, I want to start getting my own kit together and was wondering what kit you would all recommend? I like the idea of full face helmets but know I can't even think about them until B Licence. This might be a stupid question but can you not just take the lens out of a full face and use it before a B Licence? An instructor at Netheravon (UK) has a Bonehead MXV which I like the look of but know that's a camera helmet. Are there any other helmets which have the chin cup like these? Obviously, looking good saves lives so with that, does anybody have any recommendations? Cheers!

Yeah I was careful when I chose these to make sure they were a close fit to my face both top and bottom around my eyes. After looking around a little more on DZ I saw a few people saying the same thing about eye contact with the instructor before qualifying which is understandable... What would you recommend I look for in a pair of goggles? I chose the Oakleys due to their fit, polarised lenses and been impact resistant etc.... is that a similar list of criteria for the goggles?

Morning all, I wonder if anyone can help.... I've recently purchased a pair of Oakley Scalpel sunglasses and wondered if these would be suitable for Skydiving? I bought them with the intention of wearing them for most sports I do as they are close fitting, rubber grip sides and polarised lenses. I have checked and they are ANSI Z87.1 safety standard so are deemed safe for sport and 'smash/impact resistant'. Has anybody used these glasses - or ones like them - for Skydiving? How did you get on? Cheers!
