Review of: Rat-Hat in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: Sleek looking and able to do anything in skydiving
Cons: If you don't get the right size its will look messy

I bought the rat-hat to originaly do some camera flying and needed a helmet that was low profile. I found out it was and had to buy. You can do just about anything with it. Don't be fooled because it says its for swooping. I've used it for everything. If you want to do relative work its a full face helmet(without shield), if you want to do free-fly if has all the qualities of a mindwarp just has a chin cup. If want to mount a camera on it you can order a box or a bracket. I've heard them being used for skysurfing and basejumping too.

Review of: Rat-Hat in Unknown Tag: 'cat_linked'

Pros: An open face with full face protection
Cons: Chin clip can be a little tricky to close

I bought this helmet when it was still in early production at the factory. It appealed to me because I was after my first open face helmet for displays which could take a camera later on. It is a very comfortable fit and allows great peripheral vision - which I find valuable on display jumps and yet gives the reassuring feel of the protection given by a conventional full face helmet. I haven't jumped it with camera yet but it is drilled ready to go (not a standard feature). It's also a little bit different to anything else out there! My only concern is whether the chin guard could be fitted with a cut-away for camera flying...? The buckle can be a little fiddly with gloves on but you quickly get a blind feel for it with a little practice. Otherwise, I thoroughly recommend it.
