Which helmet do you own and why?

[mattyblast 0]

The subject line says it all, folks. Debate away!

"DOOR!!!"

What do you want to do?

For RW, I have a Z1. Fits me nicely. Others recommend the Bonehead Mamba.

For FF, I have a FibreZone Head Case, which can accomodate both side & top-mount cameras if I so desire. Cookie Composites also make really nice FF helmets, as do others.

Bonehead Mamba - full face
Custom fiber (speedy lee) - open face

Love them both

SONIC WOODY #146

There is a fine line between cockiness and confidence -- which side of the line are you on?

I own 4 Bonehead helmets because they are a nice product, and the customer suport is the best.

Bonehead Havok, since it makes wearing glasses a breeze, and is easy for communicating prior to exit. I had a Z1, which was OK, except for major glasses hassles.

I have a huge noggin, and I hate having my peripheral vision cut off so I jump a Bonehead Mindwarp.

I've had it for 5 years and it's still in amazing shape. Even after being lost at altitude twice.

Factory Diver for winter, no gears, ratchets, buttons, etc.
Protec for summer combat rw.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting "...holy shit...what a ride!"

Now there's a left-handed compliment for a helmet. Being in good shape is good. Coming off your head twice is very bad.

I have a Velocity open face that I jump most of the time, also a Bonhead Mindwarp camera helmet and a Z1 that I hardly ever wear. I just bought a Rawa camera helmet and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I'm sure it'll be the primary from now on.

I like the velocity cause it's comfortable. The Mindwarp I'm not really crazy about because it's got the old external audible pocket which is a pain. The Z1 is Ok but I don't like where the audible pockets are. I like the Rawa design because it's sleek anti-snag design and the chin strap excess is covered as opposed to other similar helmets. More when I actually get it and can jump it.

Blues,

If you wait 'til the last minute, it'll only take a minute.

I started jumping when all helmets were open faced, so I got a Bonehead Mindwarp. Haven't been persuaded that I need to drop $300+ on a full face helmet yet, but that might happen if/when I catch a foot or two in my face.

300way world record edition Factory Diver.
Black Aviator with stickers.

I got the Factory Diver b/c i wanted something to protect my face and to keep me warm. Only problem is its a little small for me. I plan to replace it with a mamba in the new year.

The Aviator was my first helmet, i got it b/c the Mindwarp of that year was straight up FUGLY!!! i think i'll keep it.

A Z1 Evo and a Bonehead Optik.

I really like the Evo but i hadn't jumped it in months up until this weekend when i woke up late, wanted to get on a load and didn't have time to rig my camera. I must say that the Bonehead is WAY more comfortable although the Evo is still good.

XL Pro-tec

There was a reason behind it, though... one, I can cram my large-economy-size noggin into it and not suffer. Two, it seems to be the only helmet around that would protect me if I really smashed my head into something.

I know in skydiving mostly you want a helmet to protect you from little dings and knocks - whacking it on the door, someone's foot in a funnel - but shit does, as they say, happen. Especially if you're a new jumper, who may potentially stack it on landing. Or anywhere else, for that matter. Like walking to the plane.

Touch wood.
