A Great Helmet For Any Size Mellon

Rated by: Doc_Holliday (more about me) on 2008-12-14 10:47:18 (user reviews) Review ID:2108

Pros: Variable shell sizes, Comfort, Visiblity
Cons: None So Far

I have been jumping this helmet for a 120 jumps. I do everything from belly work, to freefly and head down in this lid. I have a small head, and with the option of a small shell size, it not only fits well, it doesn't make me look like a bobble head. The visor is strong with an excellent closing system. The field of view is wide, and I have no problems seeing my handles. A previous reviewer was wondering how the helmet would perform in colder weather. Well, up here in Canada, it can get pretty chilly. The coldest jump I ever made was -25C and the FreeZR performed like a champ. Other than some condensation on the visor after opening, no issues. I would recommend this lid to anyone!!! It is friggin' AWESOME!!!

For small heads as well :)

Rated by: slingerapie (more about me) on 2008-12-03 06:28:59 (user reviews) Review ID:2106

Pros: Wide vision, (sun) glasses wearer friendly
Cons: none so far

Since a lot of reviews about the FreeZr also include that the one who bought it has a big head, I decided to write one as well, but this time that it fits as a glove for smaller heads as well! When I was looking for a fullface helmet I tried on a few. When I put on the FreeZr, I immediately felt comfortable with it on my head. Lightweight, and good vision all sides. Even tried it on with my rig, could see my handles no problem. Tried it with my sunglasses underneath, because in summer that is what I would do. No problem! Paratec offers 3 different outer scales, and 6 different padding sizes. So I guess for each head there is a fit! I thought I had a pretty big head, but the XS had best fit. When I put on a Z1 to compare, I immediately took it off again because it wasnt nearly as comfy as the FreeZr. Had to wait a bit till I could try it out, but now with only 4 jumps with it I have no regrets whatsoever. The first jump I even forgot to fasten my chinstrap, and it didn't come off! (belly flying) Maybe in due time the stuffing around the chin will become less stiff and then maybe it will come off if I ever forget the chinstrap again, but I have no intention in trying that again. While flying no problem with fogging, under canopy a little bit, but fixed by breathing out trough my mouth or open the visor a little bit. (tried it while it was -2 degrees) Opening and closing the visor is a little tricky at first because of the two pins at the sides, but not annoying difficult. Hope to enjoy my FreeZr for a long time!!
