DSE 5 #2 August 3, 2007 what info are you after? it's a no-frills, made for students/novices helmet. I've had a couple on my head, they fit nicely, and look fine. If it looks good, that's all that matters. Think: "Step up from Protec" and "step down from Mindwarp." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming you mean in appearance, because it's probably not in ability to absorb impacts. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Everyone knows that if it looks good, then skydivers want one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutinbutdust 0 #6 August 3, 2007 I know it is made from fiberglass instead of carbon fiber or kevlar. Fiberglass has advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage of fiberglass is that it absorbs impacts better than plastic, carbon fiber or Kevlar. The main disadvantage is that fiberglass helmets have a shorter lifespan. They should be replaced every 5 years or if they have a major impact. I have been looking at them too. Alan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirMan 0 #7 August 3, 2007 Thanks for the info...sounds like a decent helmet for a fair price. Being a collaboration between BH and Paragear, I figured it would be alright. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
