a little disappointed
Rated by: Turboprop (more about me) on 2008-07-21 23:20:43 (user reviews) Review ID:2026

Pros: Comfortable and stylish
Cons: No protection against impact

Essentially my review is the same as Spartacus: Flimsy plastic shell which offers three fifths of very little protection against an impact. However it is good for reducing wind noise and carrying an audible altimeter.

Good Helmet
Rated by: Bri707 (more about me) on 2008-05-25 08:28:29 (user reviews) Review ID:1987

Pros: Comfort, Audible Pocket, Color Selection
Cons: Chin strap loosens often.

Although I am new to the sport, I am familiar with safety equipment that needs to perform. The Evo is a comfortable, snug, quiet, and form-fitting helmet. It fits well with goggles or sunglasses. I would recommend it to anyone.

Not much of a helmet
Rated by: Spartacus (more about me) on 2006-07-21 00:00:00 (user reviews) Review ID:1602

Pros: Good audible altimeter mounting
Cons: Virtually no protection

I recently ordered this helmet. Upon arrival I immediately sold it based on the fact that it is no more than a flimsy plastic shell with a comfort liner. This thing will provide little to no protection in the event of a collision with another skydiver or a fixed object. As a mechanical engineer, I can tell you that this thing has absolutely no energy absorption capability whatsoever. All it will do for you is minimize wind noise and provide a place to internally mount your audible altimeter.
