Item:	Rat-Hat

Description:
We proudly introduce the latest helmet to grace the heads of swoopers and tunnel-rats! The Rat-Hat!

Constructed out of carbon fiber, the Rat-Hat is the perfect helmet for swooping and wind tunnel flying because of it's unique split-front closure, streamlined contours, maximum peripheral vision, comfort and the ability to wear either sunglasses or goggles.

For the swooper in you, we have also allowed plenty of space inside the helmet for your audible altimeter on one side of the helmet.

The Rat-Hat also has a flat side to mount cameras if you want.

The split-front construction allows the user to slip the helmet over their head quickly and easily and the all metal buckle keeps it secured around your head.

Rat-Hat features Bonehead's ThermaFit liner system so you can custom fit your helmet to your head. Rat-Hat has already seen tons of tunnel time in the Perris Wind tunnel. Try one on and jump in the tunnel!

Rat-Hat

Rated by: packing_jarrett (more about me) on 2005-08-15 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1356

Pros: Sleek looking and able to do anything in skydiving
Cons: If you don't get the right size its will look messy

I bought the rat-hat to originaly do some camera flying and needed a helmet that was low profile. I found out it was and had to buy. You can do just about anything with it. Don't be fooled because it says its for swooping. I've used it for everything. If you want to do relative work its a full face helmet(without shield), if you want to do free-fly if has all the qualities of a mindwarp just has a chin cup. If want to mount a camera on it you can order a box or a bracket. I've heard them being used for skysurfing and basejumping too.

Rat-Hat Fan

Rated by: Richie4way (more about me) on 2005-06-07 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1119

Pros: An open face with full face protection
Cons: Chin clip can be a little tricky to close

I bought this helmet when it was still in early production at the factory. It appealed to me because I was after my first open face helmet for displays which could take a camera later on. It is a very comfortable fit and allows great peripheral vision - which I find valuable on display jumps and yet gives the reassuring feel of the protection given by a conventional full face helmet. I haven't jumped it with camera yet but it is drilled ready to go (not a standard feature). It's also a little bit different to anything else out there! My only concern is whether the chin guard could be fitted with a cut-away for camera flying...? The buckle can be a little fiddly with gloves on but you quickly get a blind feel for it with a little practice. Otherwise, I thoroughly recommend it.
