Good helmet but poor customer service
Rated by: lowapproach (more about me) on 2009-06-24 09:19:38 (user reviews) Review ID:2204

Pros: Great helmet
Cons: Customer Service

I ordered a new MXV from Cookie using their 'Build-it' link on the website. I went with Cookie based on others recommendations for their helmets as well as their customer service. The build-it feature worked great, allowing me to select my camera (Sony CX-100), add a Hypeye, cutaway, etc. The cost was expensive, but overall worth it. While I would still recommend the helmet, it was not without many frustrations with respect to customer service. I ended up getting the helmet months after ordering it and additional work was needed in order to get the correct size. The challenge I had with Cookie, other than shipping the incorrect size (mistakes happen) is that they repeatedly misrepresented delivery times and that they had shipped items when they had not. Would I buy the helmet again? Probably. Does the company need to make some changes to meet their growth? Definitely. If you want the specific details about my experience, including the unedited email between myself and Cookie, PM me and I will be happy to send to you. Once you get the helmet, you will like it.

mxv, liquid lens, cameye, and sony box
Rated by: martybarman (more about me) on 2007-02-12 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1743

Pros: light weight and comfortable, amazingly fast shipping from AUS.
Cons: none, make sure you know what you want the first time you order. shipping is expensive

this mxv is great. it fits like a motorcycle helmet. very soft interior and light. i don't know anyone with a cookie but i wanted an easier setup than my current helmet. it required tools and time to get on and off. a real pain to look at in the middle of the day or fire wire to someone else. i ordered a box first for my old helmet. it didn't fit. so, i sold the helmet and tried my luck with cookie. jeremy gave me a 10% discount on the helmet and free shirt (free advertisement for them)for my hassel. i ended up getting the whole setup. i don't regret any of it. it is a little more expensive than the rest, but well worth it. i was a using a kenko .45 lens before. never again. the liquid .3 is great. nothing sticks out of the box. try to order it all at once. shipping is expensive. i had to pay for the box to ship on its own. then the helmet, lens, and cameye. then, today, i had to send the chin cup back for a more padded one. it ships real fast though. i had the box in 3 days, the helmet in 5 (they had to put it together) and then the replacement chin cup in 3 days. i will compare all other equipment to cookie compoosites. the best i've had. i have 2 friends that are ordering because i was the guiness pig.

Cookie's Mxv plus Black Box is the ticket!
Rated by: punchur (more about me) on 2007-02-04 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1082

Pros: Super Light weight & comfortable
Cons: none in my opinion

I bought this setup 2 winters ago and have now used it for two seasons with no regrets! I sidemounted my PC105 and have a Rebel mounted on top. The helmet is quiet, comfortable and a great product in my opinion. The only "problem" I have encountered is with the Black Box having a tendency to flex when I pull the helmet on and the lid would occasionally "pop" out of alignment. This was easy to "fix" by my use gaffer tape...I merely put a strip over the bungee and the seam where the box closes. I feel this precaution also serves as a "backup" to the bungee closure anyhow, so no big deal. I've noticed on a friend's newer model Black Box that it's "lip" is bigger now; I assume this revision to the Black Box has fixed the minor "quirk" that I have with my "older" model. When asked if I like my "Cookie" products, I recommend them without hesitation!
