Decent hood for the price.
Rated by: west33freefall (more about me) on 2008-06-28 15:18:40 (user reviews) Review ID:2008

Pros: Light Weight, Snug fit, slim look
Cons: Not good for audible or for hardcore protection

Just got the helmet in the mail. It doesn't look like much but it fit rather well and the padding is easy to cut down in places and you get extra strips of padding to customize the fit. Very light weight hardly feels like you have a helmet on but has plenty of padding and a hard enough shell to protect against bumps in or just out side the plane. I don't think I would recommend for someone who uses and audible. But all said and done it is a nice looking helmet and fits and feels pretty nice. For a cheaper helmet it isn't too bad.

Gath Helmet
Rated by: Jumpsat14k (more about me) on 2007-12-03 08:24:03 (user reviews) Review ID:1904

Pros: Really no pros at all
Cons: Felt cheap, chin strap wouldn't keep in adjustment

Helmet felt really cheap, padding was very hard, can only imagine in cold weather. Also, the chin strap WOULD not stay in adjustment, I had to put a stitch in the webbing to keep it put. A poor helmet for skydiving. Sold it after 4 jumps.

Gath helmet
Rated by: freakflyer62 (more about me) on 2007-03-11 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1761

Pros: It was Cheap, It looks good , Better thatn nothing at all
Cons: really only good for minor bumps in the plane

This is my first helmet, I bought it mail order after looking at pictures, and of course, prices. (new jumper just off student status). What can I say, you get what you pay for. The shell is thin & lightweight. The padding is not the greatest. It does however fit very well, and the optional ear closure devices are pretty cool, I will be buying the attachment avalable from gath to put my dytter in. Visibility is great.As soon as it either wears out or cracks I'll by a hurricane or a z1. If your on a tight budget & a better helmets will cost you jumps. buy a gath & jump. Blue skies
