mixedup 0 #1 June 26, 2012 how much warmer is full face helmet compared to open face when it's cold out? is there a significant difference? (have an open face at the moment - if there is only a minor difference I'm happy to stick with my open face - kind of hard to imagine without having jumped a full face, like you'd think the cold wind is still going to seep/travel up from the bottom of a full face at the speed we're travelling at anyway)Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you get the Bonehead Revolve you have a full face and an open face in one helmet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mixedup 0 #4 June 26, 2012 Quote Yes. Worlds apart. really - ok thanks, with that short but clear answer I've already decided to get one would be interesting to know, for those who prefer open face, at what point/temperature as winter approaches they would swap over to full face. Well wonder if there are any jumpers to begin with who'd operate like this...Parachutist Game IOS Android YouT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GLIDEANGLE 1 #6 June 26, 2012 It makes a HUGE difference for me. As mentioned above, fogging/icing can be an issue.The choices we make have consequences, for us & for others! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deisel 38 #7 June 27, 2012 Jump an open face in the rain ONE time, and I swear that you will immediately know the difference! The brave may not live forever, but the timid never live at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The age old question: Why does it hurt to jump in the rain? Because you're hitting the pointy ends of the raindrops! lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
