My Havok works for me

Rated by: denete on 2007-07-30 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Havok in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Lightweight, secure, inexpensive replacement lens, and my glasses fit under it!
Cons: None noted at this time

I bought the Havok due to having an awful time with over-the-glasses goggles. Everything that I tried was inadequate, and caused problems with depth perception on landings. The Havok fits well over my glasses (mine are a bit wider than most), and has been easy to deal with under canopy as well (opening, closing, etc.). I have not yet baked the liner, so mine is pretty tightly fitted. I will be baking it this week and can post an update after jumping it again. The photo shown in the review for this helmet isn't what the current iteration looks like. Take a look at boneheadcomposites.com . - David

Awesome full face helmet

Rated by: KNewman on 2006-06-01 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Havok in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Flip up visor, good fit (after baking inserts), solid construction.
Cons: Velcro for chin pad pulled off, (Easy to fix though). Exterior audible mounts. Restricted visibility when opened.

This is a very good helmet. I like being able to leave it on my head on the way to altitude and just flip the visor down when the door opens. The ski boot style visor retainer is very secure and easy to operate, even with gloves on. The only downside to this helmet is that your upward view is restricted when you open it up. I just leave it closed until I land. Great helmet, try it you will love it!!!

Get this helmet!!

Review of: Havok in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Fit, Finish, Quality, and it Looks Good!
Cons: A little pricy, external audible ports

I have tried several brands and this is by far the most comfortable and secure helmet that I have tried. I ordered the XL and it fit like a glove (23 5/8" cranium). The ratchet locking system for the visor is very sturdy and works unbelievably well.

My Havoc came with the pre-drilled holes in the visor and the anti-fog solvent. Earlier posts listed a misting problem and I have not had this happen on any of my jumps. Looks like Bonehead listened to its consumers and fixed the problem.

I do, however, wish it had internal audible ports. The external ports seem secure, but I like knowing there is no way for my Pro Track to fall out. The instructions do say, however, that you can cut the lining inside the helmet to make an internal port. They don't recommend doing this on the XL helmet (comfort reasons).

So, basically, if you want a secure, comfortable, well built, cool looking helmet, then look no further. It is also kind of nice to be able to talk to people without having to take your helmet on and off.

See Ya!!!!

Havok

Rated by: EDYDO on 2004-08-14 (user profile) (user reviews)

Review of: Havok in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Full Face will open up
Cons: Cannot hear pro track with visor up

I like my Havok, but it is not a perfect solution. The open face is great, but the pro track is moved up with the shield, away from the ears. I have to remember to put it down before 1000 feet to hear the test signal. Fogging is still a problem in high humidity areas. (the south)

Edit August '04: I purchased and installed a new face shield. The factory has placed several holes in it near the nose and the fogging problem is much improved. Actually, those could be drilled on the older models by the owner.
