Item: Hurricane  Manufacturer: Sky Systems   (1062 Hits)     Description: HURRICANE is the new freefly helmet from Sky Systems Ltd. (the makers of Factory Diver, Sidewinder and OXYGN skydiving helmets). This carbon fiber, Kevlar reinforced helmet is by far the most comfortable freefly helmet available on the market. Sky Systems has taken your thoughts and designed a new freefly helmet to meet your needs. The HURRICANE introduces a new shape for a more comfortable fit, and has external audible ports over each ear for a more clear sound transmission. Utilizing similar technology as the Nvertigo, the HURRICANE features the Sky Dial tightening mechanism to tighten the forehead and neck areas. Added: 2001-04-08 | Item ID: 226

I'm happy with my Hurricane
Rated by: skydivebaby (more about me) on 2008-04-14 01:46:49 (user reviews) Review ID:1969

Pros: Lightweight, comfortable and nice fit once it's on my head.
Cons: A little difficult getting over my ears without ears folding over ... but no biggie.

I'll have to second the reviews about needing a small head. It only comes in 2 sizes and I bought the S/M. I was concerned it would be a little too big because on Sky Systems sizing chart a Sm is 21.5" - 22" and a Med is 22.1" - 22.5". My head measurement above eyebrow is 21.5". I used the tightening feature ... didn't really need to but played around with it a bit and it helped the fit just a tad. It fits me like a glove! :-)

A pretty good helmet!
Rated by: CarloC (more about me) on 2008-01-19 16:26:24 (user reviews) Review ID:1925

Pros: Confort, Light weight, Low profile, Dual audible ports, Nice looking
Cons: Outside audible ports, Need more than 2 shell sizes, Runs smaller thans other helmets

I used to have a Rawa Imagem, but i sold it because im not a big fan of chincups and i dont want to use a camera. So i bought a Hurricane, a low profile helmet for freefly. Its a preety good helmet, A+ confort, light weight and a nice low profile. The audible ports being on the outside made me a little unconfortable, but you can hear them just fine and it is very secure. Im a Medium size, but i bought a Large and it fits tight, so if you wanna buy one try first or buy one size larger. I think the SkyDial is just a fancy thing, its has a nice fit even with out using it, so if it brokes, im not worried. I recommend this helmet if you want this kind of helmet. Later!

Hurricane. Good Helmet
Rated by: mnskydiver688 (more about me) on 2007-03-21 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1772

Pros: Speed of Delivery, Easy access to dytter.
Cons: Rachet system is poor, tight intial fit

I have been impressed with the helmet. I like the audible placement and the fit is snug. Initially the fit was a little too tight, I have a somewhat large head. Also the audible is very easy to hear in freefall contrary to some reviews. Overall good helmet.
