New Mindwarp Millennium is AWESOME!

Review of: MINDWARP "Pimp Daddy" Helmet in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Great fit and very comfortable
Cons: none (except that I wish all skydiving gear was less $$$)

I received my new Mindwarp Millennium a few weeks ago. I baked it upon receipt to get a perfect fit. It is snug and so comfortable. I tried on 5 different helmets, and the bonehead felt the best. (It also blocks out the most noise.) The new Millennium comes with internal hard audible pockets - so there is no danger of a riser slap knocking off your AA.

I've heard that different helmets fit different shaped heads better or worse. Being able to conform an already comfortable helmet to my head, was a big plus. I love it and would definitely recommend it.

Review of: MINDWARP "Pimp Daddy" Helmet in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

I was kind of wanting a new open-faced helmet for swooping competitions and working with students, so I had a friend hook me up with Bonehead. I made a coast-to-coast phone call and got Jeanie on the phone in the middle of the night. Intrigued, she said to come by when I got to Perris. I took a tour of the factory and was duly impressed. I scored myself a new metalic blue Mindwarp (pimped out, of course) and we baked it on the spot! After reading some of the complaints about people having their audibles get ripped off their helmet or having them fly out of the pocket, I was impressed to find that the new design is MUCH more secure.

This helmet fits like a glove; not too tight though. It has provided me great service and I am very happy that I chose it. For those of you that do not like the exterior audible, the HOT ticket is the waterski version. It is setup so that you have more room for your ears. It also has a goggle-keeper on the back for those people that jump them (I jump in sunglasses).

I give this company my highest rating.

Review of: MINDWARP "Pimp Daddy" Helmet in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

i like the helmet, it fits pretty well, i haven't baked it yet. but i got a dbox for the pc5 and have seen a few issues. I guy in Pahokee in March lost his camera in the same set-up as mine. the dbox is closed with just one strap and a plastic buckle. i've been paranoid so i add rubber bands. And i doubt this is bonehead's fault, I ordered it from pier ltd., but the mount was such that the camera was angled too far down. i had to pretty much brake my neck trying to get anything but the ground in the shot, that's beely flying, or flying camera over a 4 way, i had to have them behind me about through my legs. And this is probably pier ltd's fault as well, but the velcro for the padding wouldn't stay in place, i pretty uch held it in place till i put me head in. and the audible is horrible... it doesn't align with my ear or the hole in the padding. Cmon bonehead, that's easy. so i took the d-box off, drilled new holes in the helmet, reglued my velcro in place, and cut a hole close to hear my altimeter, which i still have a hard time hearing sometimes... but i figure that would still have been easier than trying to send it back for modifications...
other than that, it's a sweet helmet, and i still like it better than any others i've tried.

Great helmet but crap finishing.

I would like to add to what somebody said earlier about the misplaced hole in the bonehead for your audible. I resorted to cutting some of the padding, because when you line the original hole up with the hole in the hard shell, the padding protrudes from the helmet. At the price you pay for a bonehead, you would expect better attention to detail. Also, why not keep the audible on the inside? One guy at my DZ lost his pro-track because a riser slapped it off. I would much rather have the bulge on the helmet and know my pro-track was safe.

Other than that I really like the helmet and it is really comfortable. Also for a beginner like myself it is great because I can use it for RW as well (no frap hat for me thank you very much!)

I would've given it 9 out of 10 if I didn't have to hack the inner padding with a pair of scissors and my pro-track was better protected.
