helge 0 #1 January 29, 2007 Triple 2 helmet claims to be "BASE friendly", anyone tried them? How much impact protection does it have compared to a RAWA which I'm probably getting? Link: www.competitionhelmets.com/triple2.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

helge 0 #4 January 29, 2007 Quote...dytter for "those HUGE cliffs" stik with the 661 Hmm.. I was hoping that was ironic... Need a helmet for both skydiving and BASE... But, fuck it, I'll get a Rawa.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I bet if i had been wearing it for my paraglider crash instead of my 300 $ flight helmet, i would have been fine. but really, i love the 661. and i hate dytters. i even hate them skydiving. what a horrible thing to put on a BASE helmet website.

mtnlion667 0 #6 January 30, 2007 Quote stik with the 661 no doubt!!!!! I love mine. and it was only $89, with way more protection than any skydiving helmet could ever offer. plus they come in flat black, of course mine is silver.... but it was on clearance.

Tyrion 0 #7 January 30, 2007 Which 661 helmet are you boys using? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtnlion667 0 #8 January 30, 2007 i forget the model # or name.... but it is the full face down hill mtb. not the top of line with the light weight carbon fiber shell, as that one seemed more apt to split on the first hit (although it would absorb more impact doing that). I got the next step down since the core and shell seem to be able to take multiple hits. kind of like we might experience sliding down the face of a B w/ledges or rolling through a tallus field. They offer one for motocross that is snell and ansi rated, but i was concerned w/the weight, and how far the jaw piece protruded..... anyone jumping a motocross helmet?...... how's your neck?
