SkySystems C6air dissapointment

[roostnureye 2]

Is anyone else out there dissapointed with the lack of communication about the new helmet?

Skysystems has promised updates repeatedly and still no updates about cutaway systems, camera platforms, or the locking mechanism for the visor.

we are just over one week away from the quoted shipping date, and have yet to even see a real picture of the helmet.

im just wondering if anyone else is getting cold feet about this purchase?

i am heavily considering seeking a refund and just getting a plastic g3

And you ordered one? Did you see a prototype or anything?

those are computer renderings of the helmet, i am looking for real pictures.
and they still do not help answer any questions about: cut away system, camera platforms, locking mechanism, visor gaps, etc.....

Personally, I wouldn't order based on just an ad, especially before it's even come on the market. Even if the helmet were already on the market I wouldn't order just based on an ad. For helmets, fit & comfort are so critical - I'd want to see/feel/touch/try it first to see if it's right for my noggin.

I hope Skysystems comes through for you - that would be pretty shitty of them to promise a delivery date and not meet it and/or not communicate why they're not meeting it.

Have you tried reaching out to them directly or are you just waiting for something to come to you?

Completely agree with NWFlyer

Two things skydivers are dumb enough to believe in;
-That their dates will deliver
-Delivery dates

More likely that your date will deliver.

Skysystems was unable to get a helmet to the PIA show for an unveiling.
Sometimes, manufacturing happens. Betting on the come is kinda dumb.

After Chief Marketing Officer, Kenneth Wasley, gave lots of promises on the FB page (merged with the previous one, where all unhappy comments were from the beginning), he left company a few weeks ago. Since then this FB page doesn't exists. The webpage is in maintenance.
Nobody answers both FB and email last month.

Whoa! people are still expecting this helmet to actually be produced?!

look at http://www.unfeathered.com/

The USA representative is in Florida.
She has a page on Facebook named "unfeathered".

Delivery time is right now!

I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

I'm getting the same response.
Kenneth claimed the C6 should start shipping on June 20th.
We are less than a week away from that date, no updates, nothing!
It's been over 2 years since I've paid in full for this helmet.
Skysystems needs to step up and get this completed.
These guys claim they are going to make special helmets/ and additional gear to make up for their failure. I'm not holding my breath. They can't even answer the phone.
