CanEHdian 0 #1 April 16, 2004 Hey all, I remember hearing something about adaptable cut-away systems/conversion kits for helmets. Can someone point me in the right direction?

skybytch 259 #2 April 16, 2004 Depends on what you want to cutaway. Bonehead's offers a cutaway system for their chincups. Around $20. I don't know of any other manufacturer offering one, but I could be wrong (it's happened before...). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanEHdian 0 #3 April 16, 2004 Guess I didn't explain myself correctly - adaptable "helmet release" systems? Some sort of kit (for any camera helmet) that permits you to ditch it quickly, one step release, etc... CanEHdianTime's flying, and so am I...

sabr190 0 #4 April 16, 2004 I don't see any reason why you couldn't adapt Boneheads cutaway system to pretty much any helmet that uses a chin cup or rear entry.

PhreeZone 15 #5 April 16, 2004 Bonehead sells one that can be put on any helmet that has a chincup and you have removed the chin strap.

damion75 0 #6 April 16, 2004 As well as Bonehead, I have just been looking at the 2Kcomposites (FF1/FF2) cutaway system. It comes fitted, or you can get it added later. Looks pretty good, but I've never tried it.*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus.

psw097 0 #7 April 16, 2004 I've made 2 myself. The first was a chin cup release and the second clears the right side ratchet. Chin cup is clean but not as functional, ratchet release will work better but looks like a cluge. I think the total do it yourself cost is around a dollar for either.

riddler 0 #8 April 16, 2004 I saw one that looked like a mini-three-ring system on someone's chincup. I didn't know if that was factory, or home-built, but I think Bill Booth would have been amused Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
