Hi guys, I am wonderind what kind of helmet I should buy for BASE jumping. I'd definitely want to attach a camera to it. My current favourite is the Optik Illusion, but I'm not too sure if it would make a good BASE helmet. It surely is a excellent skydiving camera helmet with jaw protection, but I'm not sure about the visibility for BASE use. Though, as I can see from the pics on http://www.boneheadcomposites.com, it must be about the same as with the RatHat. I haven't decided yet, since the choice isn't that easy, for my new helmet should be usable for skydiving as well as BASE. Does anyone have some experience with that kind of helemts used in BASE?

I think you're right, I ll better go for a 150 elliptical insted of a 135. Safety first. The speed of a 150 with my wingload landed consevatively is far from goin' to kill you. By the way, I had a cutaway too, at around 50 Jumps, but with a big 210. blue skies "freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose" (Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin)

Yeah, I absolutely agree with you about your PSS: Probably I can land this canopy most of the times; but IF something happens, it would be good to have more experience. It's very likely, that I'd be in deep shit IF something happens. I know that. But its worth, because flying such a canopy is a hell load of fun. But back to my point: I would rather like to know which canopy you prefer and why. Thanx "freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose" (Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin)

No, I have started with a 210, then made around 90 jumps on the 150. blue skies "freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose" (Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin)

No, my EXIT-weight is 198, so the wingload is ~1.46. Besides, I landed the heatwave in zero-wind, and the landing wasn't bad. But I agree with you, this is quite a hot csnopy for my experience. blue skies "freedom is just another word for nothing left to loose" (Me and Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin)

Hello Everyone, I am about to buy a used canopy, but I am still no sure which canopy i should take. I have tested a Heatwave 135 a few times, and I found it quite amazing, considering what I have flown up to then (PISA Conquest 150). Now I have an offer for a used Stiletto 135 with ~350 jumps (which I don't have jumped yet). Can anyone who knows both wings tell me, which canopy would be better (considering the price difference). Is it true that the stiletto's ZP-material is much more durable than the heatwave's? Thanks a lot for your help blue skies P.S.: I have got 135 Jumps, and my weight is 198.
