Great full-face for us Pumpkin heads
Rated by: LPhoenix98 (more about me) on 2007-09-21 19:37:55 (user reviews) Review ID:1872

Pros: Outstanding Visibility
Cons: Some minor visor problems

I am pretty new to the sport and use to wear the ole' Protec but because of a close call, my face hitting the ground when my student rig caught a big gust as I landed, I decided a full face would be best to protect the some $7000.00 worth of braces in my mouth. I tried on the Oxygn, Z1, and factory diver but my big ole' pumpkin head just didn't fit right. Enter the FreeZr. It fits great and has wonderful visibility. The only complaint I have is the left side of the visor sticks and has to be fiddled with to get down, I don't latch that side because it doesn't seem to hurt anything and it stays closed from the other side. I've contacted paratec and am waiting to hear back from them. Other than that great full face I highly recommend it. It's true too, it doesn't fog in them SC winters. :-)

Visor mechanism repair
Rated by: josebaumanndez (more about me) on 2006-10-27 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1279

Pros: I can wear eyewear with it
Cons: Junk visor operation

After getting ahold of the company, and making them aware of the problems I was having, they sent me an updated side cover, and a new lens to boot! the operation of the visor is as it should be now, so I'm quite happy. The placement of the strap still has me scratching my head, but at least the thing stays on my head! Thanks to the folks at Paratec for caring, their follow up meant alot.

Absolute must for full face users!
Rated by: m_mccurrie (more about me) on 2006-06-30 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1579

Pros: Adjustable Internal padding, visability, cool factor
Cons: absolutely none!

I've been jumping my FreeZR for about 6 months now and not had one problem with it! I bought it for a number of reasons and it meets them all. Firstly, with having a largeish head, I found it difficult to fit into other full face helmets. With the FreeZR being a standard fit helemt with interchangeable padding to make up the fitting size, I was able to find a perfect fit instantly. I would recomend anyoe who is having problems with their FreeZR to look into changing their padding. Its very easy. I've got to say that wearing the helmet in freefall feels great. I think people wearing it worry that it feels loose. I think this may simply be due to the superb airflow system it has, as I have tried to take it off whilst still wearing the chin strap to no avail. It doesn't want to come off. It takes a little getting used to but its worth it. The final plus point is its looks. I've got it in metalic blue, which goes well with the rest of my gear. It certainly makes people take note of you!
