Great helmet
Rated by: superstu (more about me) on 2006-09-27 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1659

Pros: Durable, comfy, good vision, good looking
Cons: no tinted lens

So i've been jumping a factory diver for the past 2000 or so jumps and literaly trust it with my life. I'm a competitive canopy pilot on the PST along with the organizer for the NWCPC and i've had some "hairy" rides where my factory diver prevented injury and in one case maybe even death. it's durable, comfortable, has great vision, and i think good looking. i don't jump it with a visor any more just cause i like the wind on my face, but also they don't make a tinted visor which i prefer, which might be the only draw back. thanks to Sky Systems

Good helmet, if used without visor.
Rated by: romany (more about me) on 2006-08-16 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1628

Pros: Good comphortable fit
Cons: Crapy visor

This was the only helmet I found where XXL really mean XXL and it fits nicely. The rest of them are XXL in name only, but in reality they feel tight and uncomfortable. Will vendors ever get it, that some of us need LARGER HELMETS, not just thiner liners in the same small shell? The visor gets foggy in the plane and, because it's not a flip-up, I had to put the helmet on only after the door is up. Eventually I just remove the visor and use goggles.

Bad Quality
Rated by: SKYDIVE (more about me) on 2005-06-28 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1308

Pros: Price
Cons: Quality

I've had my Factory Diver for 5 months now and have noticed that the visor started cracking.I'm also not convinced that the velcro fastening system is he way to go.The velcro wears out very quickly and doesn't really secure the helmet whilst in freefall.(Almost lost it last week). Yes the Factory Diver is relatively cheap however I would recommend spending a bit more and getting real quality like a Havok.
