JohnMitchell 16 #26 October 15, 2014 JohnMitchell Still using an open face but thinking of getting a G3 for all the reasons stated above by others. I did pick up a G3 and have been using it exclusively ever since. Fun jumps, free fly, AFF and tandems; I enjoy it for everything. Takes just a second to open or close the face shield, easy to talk to the student on jump run and under canopy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa126 0 #27 October 15, 2014 I also love my G3! I use it for everything, aff, tandem, fun jumps. I attached some pictures - at one point I had the additional velcro-piece in the bottom part of the helmet (nice in the winter as less cold air gets in) but I took it out for the summer and it really made a difference of how much "face" my students can see. The only thing I don't like is if i'm RIGHT at the door about to exit and I close my shield, if I need to say something after that I usually don't have the hand abilities to lift it back up.

skydiveoc 0 #28 October 16, 2014 20 years doing tandems and Im just now getting fed up with spit / snot on my face! I'm looking at a G3 or the new bonehead Aero...Quote Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DJL 235 #29 October 16, 2014 Open face when it's warm, full face when it's cold. Would rather have something more open than my Z1 but it's what I have. I would also prefer hearing protection for the full ride but there's no way to pull something out so I can communicate during the canopy ride. Some people here talked about a hole to pull plugs through, I'll look into that."I encourage all awesome dangerous behavior." - Jeffro Fincher Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites JohnMitchell 16 #30 October 17, 2014 Quote "skydiveoc"]20 years doing tandems and Im just now getting fed up with spit / snot on my face!
