charly 0 #1 November 10, 2008 Hi i was looking at this site under GEAR/HELMETS/SKYSYSTEMS/NVERTIGO. The helmet in the photo looks great. but when i've been shopping around for this helmet it looks different. the one on this site and on a magazine article has raised groved lines running back to front, the only NVERTIGO helmets i can find have a smooth even finish. this may be a stupid post but can anyone tell me what i'm missing many thanks dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #2 November 10, 2008 The Nvertigo, like many other skydiving related items, has gone through changes over the years. The pictures you are seeing are likely of the older version and the ones you see in stores are newer versions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireballgrl 0 #3 November 10, 2008 I used to have one several years back and I believe the older styles did have a grooved concentric pattern. I could not stand the way the sides pushed on my jawbone though...maybe it was the shape of my jaw or head but it hurt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jtnesbitt 0 #4 November 11, 2008 You could be looking at two different models. The NvertigoX has external mounts for audibles and the V has internal mounts and some other design differences. This could be why the lines look different."If this post needs to be moderated I would prefer it to be completly removed and not edited and butchered into a disney movie" - DorkZone Hero Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
