I have spent most of my skydiving career obsessively pressing over-the-eyeglasses goggles on my face and getting nervous any time they fluttered slightly. Lost my glasses in freefall on my 26th jump so I had reason to be nervous. For years I've been looking for a full face helmet that wouldn't press my glasses into my head. First one I found was the Cookie G2. Bought it a couple of years ago and it works great. The curved visor is the key. Has fogged up minimally when I open but clears quick. Usually I lift the visor under canopy anyway. Visibility is excellent. Sometimes I have to touch the visor in freefall to remind me that it is on and secure because it's like it isn't even there. I miss wearing a frap hat sometimes, but the security I feel with the full face is totally worth it. One less thing to worry about in freefall when you have plenty of important things to focus on.

I've made 400+ camera jumps on mine and it's been great. I unfortunately had the tensioner break on me right before I was going up on a competition jump at Nationals two years ago. It was fixed in about half an hour, but the thing basically just fell into a heap and wouldn't stay in the helmet to make the jump without it. Had about 2 years of hard service so I can't really complain about lifetime, just timing.
