Highly recommended open face helmet
Rated by: GPSJane on 2006-10-10 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: ParaMount Velocity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Comfort, convert to camera helmet
Cons: Strap cover does not extend far enough

I bought this helmet when I started skydiving with a view to convert to a camera helmet. I have been very happy with it; it is comfortable and fits me perfectly.

The only thing is that the cover on the chin strap doesn't go down all the way down and the extra bit of strap is always loose.

Excellent value for the money

Review of: ParaMount Velocity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Great price,great fit, and very good internal audible position.
Cons: very few

I purchased the Velocity as a all-around skydiving helmet and have been very pleased with it in both RW and FF.Its fit is really good and you mismatch some liners if your head is wierd like mine LOL.The forehead protection and the peripheal vision are excellent,the rigidty of its construction makes it very durable and comfortable.The internal audible pocket is large and well placed,I've never had a problem hearing my Protrack even when set on low volume (this seems to be a big issue with other helmets,not so here!)The few cons I've found are very minor,the adhesive on the velcro giving access to the audible pocket couldn't take the heavy use particuarly on hot days and had to be tacked down,the plastic edge on the back of the neck started to come loose and a drop of adhesive fixed that. Minor stuff! I've been using this helmet for 1.5+ years now and find it to be a excellent value for the money with its fit,durability and versatility

I'd highly recommend this as a general "open face " helmet

Review of: ParaMount Velocity in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

I have about 10 jumps on a Velocity and really like it. It is comfortable and gives a great deal more protection than the frap it replaced. The camera mount (an optional item)is a little more noticeable than say a Sidewinder, but not a great deal more. Altogether I'd highly recommend this as a general "open face " helmet I give it a good rating as a digital camera platform as well.
