Z1 STI

Item: Z1 STI 
Manufacturer: Parasport Italia   (779 Hits)
   

Description:
The new option designed for the Z1 full face helmet is a special fit for the Skytronic Pro Audible Altimeter and Freefall Computer. The option allows skydivers to fully operate the Skytronic without removing it from the helmet. This gives easy access to all the functions of the instruments, like the extended jump information, programming, altitude check, and so on. The Skytronic is firmly held in place by a small holder on the inside of the Z1, that can be easily removed with the supplied tool when it's necessary to remove the instrument (to replace batteries, for example).

I love this helmet!
Rated by: ripper0289 (more about me) on 2003-10-18 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:803

Pros: Comfy, Doesn't fog up, looks killer
Cons: Can't wear my glasses with it.

I bought this helmet after my first aff dive, best investment I could have made at that time. I now have a whopping total of 5 AFF jumps under my belt and I think this helmet has helped. I couldn't relax with the wind in my face but now I can't wait to get out of the plane. I can hear the radio through the helmet for landings. The only bad thing for me is that I have to put my glasses on after the canopy opens. Great helmet.

Z1 STI Full Face Helmet
Rated by: Wojcik (more about me) on 2003-04-03 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:677

Pros: Great Look, Locking Mechanism
Cons: Small

Just ordered the Z1 STI. After reading the reviews for the Oxygn and the horrific customer service, even though they're down the street in Denver, I decided to save myself the brain damage and order this helmet. I can tell you the great reviews I read on this helmet are definitly true. The anti-fog coating on this thing is amazing. I can't possibly forsee the face shield coming open in freefall. Only downside: I don't have a huge melon but the X-LRG didn't work even though the sizing chart said it would. Go one size larger. I contacted Para-Gear and they claim that the shell is all one size, it's the liner that changes the fit. I have yet to see if a new liner will fit better but I could live with the X-LRG. Recommendation: Buy It. Too bad my DZ won't let me jump it 'till I have 50 jumps.

This helmet is the best piece of equipment I own.
Rated by: Mark on 2000-08-31 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:182

I have one and love it!!! I even went so far as to sand it down and repaint and clear coat it. It looks awesome!!! I wrote to the company and told them that what I was doing and they sent me some new stickers to replace the old ones. I wouldn't normally go trough a ordeal such as this one, but this helmet is the best piece of equipment I own;(other than my chute).
