traker 0 #1 July 6, 2006 What's up guys and dolls! Well I will finally be base jumping. I got the gear, I am registered for my first jump course and all the rest of that good stuff. I promised myself I would use a full face once I started base jumping. My Bonehead mind warp just wont cut it at this point. Any suggestions or reviews on full faced helmets best suited for base would be appreciated!

Zoter 0 #5 July 6, 2006 I use a paragliding helmet "Charley Insider" Its a full face helmet with ALOT more absorbative padding than any skydiving helmet and excellent peripheral vision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RJmoney 0 #15 July 7, 2006 hey dudes, I wear a big fat helmet as anyone who has jumped with me will attest to. Its a giro remedy which is alike to the 661 pro bravo and giro has a carbon version too. For some reason 661 delayed their 2006 model year version until the year was half over. The remedy has been great and even survived a 15 foot fall onto grating pretty well (luckily my head wasn't in it). late, RJ$$word to your mother, RJ$$ BASE 1117 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dmcoco84 4 #16 July 7, 2006 Speaking of helmets, anyone know if you can send an Oxygn back to the maker and have it repainted? Mine is scratched like a mo fo. Coco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
