hey all, i'm looking to get a tonfly CC1 in the next few weeks. i'm looking for pics of any color or finish. i've had many e mails back and forth with tonfly and have been very pleased with response and ability to answer my never ending question after question. thanks to DSE and RMK for their responses they already gave me. marty

skydive oregon ALL OF THE ABOVE BOOGIE from this past weekend

skydive oregon ALL OF THE ABOVE BOOGIE from this past weekend

this mxv is great. it fits like a motorcycle helmet. very soft interior and light. i don't know anyone with a cookie but i wanted an easier setup than my current helmet. it required tools and time to get on and off. a real pain to look at in the middle of the day or fire wire to someone else. i ordered a box first for my old helmet. it didn't fit. so, i sold the helmet and tried my luck with cookie. jeremy gave me a 10% discount on the helmet and free shirt (free advertisement for them)for my hassel. i ended up getting the whole setup. i don't regret any of it. it is a little more expensive than the rest, but well worth it. i was a using a kenko .45 lens before. never again. the liquid .3 is great. nothing sticks out of the box. try to order it all at once. shipping is expensive. i had to pay for the box to ship on its own. then the helmet, lens, and cameye. then, today, i had to send the chin cup back for a more padded one. it ships real fast though. i had the box in 3 days, the helmet in 5 (they had to put it together) and then the replacement chin cup in 3 days. i will compare all other equipment to cookie compoosites. the best i've had. i have 2 friends that are ordering because i was the guiness pig.

brian, i agree. there won't be another box with this helmet. i'm probably just going to send it back to cookie. my set up that i have now works fine. it's just a pain to deal with in the middle of the jump day. thanks for everyone's input, marty

ahhh haa. that makes a lot more sense. thanks for the pics. the same problem still remains. i can't get to the flat portion of the outside of the helmet from the inside. thanks for the reply's marty

yeah, the picture doesn't really help me describe the problem with the interior of the helmet. let's try this one. the flat side of the helmet slopes back at the rear of the helmet. on the interior, it is rounded for comfort while wearing. the interior of the helmet is made of the carbonfiber looking material. they placed a patch (permenant) over the access to the bolts. i can't get to them from the inside without tearing the helmet apart. i'm not familiar with the type of bolts you're talking about. could you describe them a little for me. this is getting to be a way bigger deal than i anticipated. this box might be getting sold soon.

thanks brian that would be great. my old bracket is taller than the cookie box. so, i could use only the top 2 or bottom one. i really would like to avoid longer bolts. my lining isn't very thick. that would make for a long day of jumping with bolts in my head. thanks again, marty

it looks like they made a patch with the helmet material to make the curve in side the helmet.

i got the box today. as i said in the 1st post, i have an arrow dynamics helmet. it doesn't fit. i can't get to the flat portion of the side on the inside of the the helmet to mount the box. suggestions.

thanks guys!! i'm ordering one today marty

is the lens hole a descent size for the wide angle to come out? i have a kenko lens that isn't huge, but it might not fit out the front. sorry, for all the questions but cookie has yet to answer my emails.
