A Must Have!
Rated by: horwichg (more about me) on 2008-07-14 15:47:16 (user reviews) Review ID:2021

Pros: Light, Tight Fitting, Comfortable, Low Profile
Cons: Haven't found any yet.

I have been jumping this helmet exclusively this season. It is the most comfortable helmet I've ever put on. It's very lightweight, and incredibly comfortable. After takeoff, unless it's very warm in the plane, or I'm having a conversation, I usually just leave it on my head. Even with the comfort, it still fits very snug. I've made a 2-way RW jump from 12.5k with the chin strap undone, and it didn't go anywhere (although I wouldn't recommend this to anyone). The M1 cuts out most of the wind noise, which I find to be great when trying new things, or doing something that needs a lot of concentration. The internal audible pocket does a great job of holding my Neptune, with a fabric pouch which is mounted under the liner. It is very simple to remove the instrument. I have no trouble hearing the Neptune on it's Normal volume setting. On numerous occasions I've been bumped on exit, or while moving around in the plane, smashing my head into all different parts of the plane. The helmet has stood up to the abuse, on showing one scratch, and one scuff. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone.

M1 Cookie
Rated by: sophiemay (more about me) on 2007-12-15 09:25:05 (user reviews) Review ID:1910

Pros: Lightweight & Comfortable
Cons: Chinstrap

The Cookie M1 is lightweight and comfortable, great for both tunnel flying and skydiving. The only ad thing is the length of the chin-strap. The side where it connects is too long for me so it has to be taped up, but only a tiny adjustment, it's still a great helmet!

M1 rocks
Rated by: runnit (more about me) on 2007-11-13 18:04:14 (user reviews) Review ID:1897

Pros: Low profile, super comfortable
Cons: None

In short, this is the sort of helmet you forget that you're wearing. It's lightweight carbon fibre, low profile and really well made. The padding is great and extends the length of the chinstrap. To top it off, the customer service is awesome and Cookie replied to my emails the same day. Normally if I was doing a wingsuit jump or a hop n pop I'd go without a helmet, just because it was easier/more comfortable than wearing my camera helmet but I don't think twice about running my M1. Note - the picture on this site is the old style, Cookie's now making them with a lower profile, sqaure audible recess
