Maybe we are asking too much.

Pros: lightweight
Cons: poor design

This is the 21st Century. Seriously, it feels like it is broken every time you open and close it. What's the point anyway. The lens only opens 3" to begin with...why not just take off the helmet. The helmet is made with "Carbon Fire", but the ratchets are made of plastic. These should have been identified quite early in the design phase as something that would wear out. Plastic? Whatever, you got me. I am just trying to help the next guy.

Not the helmet for me
Rated by: jlmiracle (more about me) on 2003-12-01 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:858

Pros: helmet built well
Cons: visor needs alot of work

I bought a brand new Oxygn. When it finally showed up it was huge on my head, I made a jump and spent the whole time holding it on because it felt like it was going to come off. I called the company, they said I could purchase a kit to make it fit my head (even though I went off their sizing chart). I had already spent more than enough money. I asked about the visor not opening and closing as it claimed it would and they just said that's how it is. I could never get the velcro tight enough to feel comfortable in freefall so I sold it. The helmet has good construction but If I buy from them again I would just by a fixed lense helmet because their flip ups don't work very well.
