daveom 0 #1 April 26, 2004 Could anyone please weigh their FreeZR or Havoc helmet?Ta,Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #2 April 26, 2004 Just got my FreeZR. Have not even jumped it yet. I dont have a scale that can measure something this light. If I were to guess I'd say about 2 lbs. I judged this by holding a 2 1/2 lb weight in one hand and the helmet in the other. The weight seemed heavier but not by too much. I had a Havok for a bit and I believe it was lighter than the FreeZR This is all guesses on my part and not based on any documented facts.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daveom 0 #4 April 27, 2004 Thanks Scott, I didn't notice that on the Bonehead website. So,the Havok = 32oz = 907grams. The FreeZR is perhaps slightly heavier, say 1000grams. The reason I ask is that motorcycle helmets are now down to 1200-1300grams. The lightest motorcycle helmet is the world seems to be from BMW and weighs 999grams. It also costs around $1000!! http://www.bmw-motorrad.com/com/en/specials/sportintegral_helmet/sportintegral_carbon.html However there are MANY other helmets on the market weighing around 1250grams, all of which are fully Snell etc. rated. Many are available with flip-up fronts. Most cost around $300-400. Now I know they are bulkier, but the FreeZR is pretty bulky compared to a Z1, and most everyone seems to like it. I also realise that the visor typically has a smaller field of view (the FreeZR looks to have a *huge* field of view). But its not a great leap of the imagination to see a decent skydiving helmet which is actually rated. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
