craichead 0 #27 April 21, 2004 I got mine for $125...but that's because I bought a $100 "BoneBond" from Bonehead in November 2002. Six months later, the value of the BoneBond was $200, redeemable for any Bonehead merchandise. A great deal if you're willing to wait six months! _Pm__ "Scared of love, love and aeroplanes...falling out, I said takes no brains." -- Andy Partridge (XTC) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cvfd1399 0 #28 April 21, 2004 Never heard of that cool idea. It looks like all the dealers get together in a tribal meeting with the maker and decide on a price and stone anyone that deviates from the plan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #29 April 21, 2004 QuoteQuoteAll have chinstraps - not sure what you mean by one being better than another. As long as you secure it after getting it to the tightness you want I'd think all of them will keep the helmet on your head. The chinstrap on my Gunner seems to come loose rather frequently, even with the little elastic ring around the strap that 's supposed to hold it in place. I check it a couple times before I exit. I'm planning to sew the excess nylon strap in place so that I don't have to bother with it all the time in the plane. Here's an earlier thread about the chinstrap coming loose: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=813171#813171 Otherwise, I love it...quiet, two internal audible pockets. The quick-release buckle is pretty neat. Very comfy. _Pm I think a lot of them do that. My Aviator did as well. I had my boyfriend sew it in place for me so I don't have to worry anymore. :) I love the Aviator, btw... I think it's a good looking helmet, and of course, very functional. Angela.

chuteless 1 #31 April 22, 2004 I use a BELL helmet. I also had one made by Bell with a flat side, with a rotatable housing for the old 16mm film cameras, and it would sure adapt for a video camera if you wanted it to. I dont know if Bell still makes that model, but they are top quality, and I think the strongest helmet made. Check their line out.
