8 years and still going
Rated by: Titanium_Gecko (more about me) on 2009-11-01 15:39:48 (user reviews) Review ID:2255

Pros: Fit, Protection, Weight,
Cons: None

I bought my Gath on the day I got my A License and have never looked back. Admittedly, it was the best fit for my head at the dropzone shop but would recommend anyone to try a Gath on. This year alone it has proved reliable and secure/snug at 200mph head down, 140mph+ stand through to 50mph-ish wingsuiting. It also protected me from worse head injuries in 2004 after a low turn, which took me out of the sport for 2 years. I love its look in photos and videos.

Gath RV and Gedi
Rated by: dhracer33 (more about me) on 2009-06-06 13:24:33 (user reviews) Review ID:2194

Pros: light weight, streamlined fit, inexpensive, looks good in photos :)
Cons: none

I purchased my first Gath two years ago and am very pleased with its performance. If you are looking for a helmet that is not over-built, is lightweight and comfortable, go with a Gath. I wear a helmet to avoid bumps from the plane, air to air contact during wingsuit flocking, and falling while landing and my Gedi and RV do a great job. I use my Gath not only for skydiving, but for BASE jumping and speedflying as well. Not to mention GoPro cameras strap onto the top perfectly.

Save up and buy better
Rated by: rakkers (more about me) on 2008-09-22 04:34:05 (user reviews) Review ID:2072

Pros: cheapish
Cons: everything

Not comfortable. Won't keep your head warm. Won't protect much. Irritates your ears. Save up and buy a better one.
