How many Skydiving helmets do you own?

Recommended Posts

One Protec - use it all the time. One Bonehead - found it in the woods off the end of the airport while looking for a cutaway canopy. It had been there a while; it had some wasps and a scorpion living in it. I asked all around the DZ if anybody knew who might have lost it and got no leads, so I cleaned it up and got a liner for it.

Cookie MXV, Z-1, OXYGN, Guner.

Think that's all I have. I never have them all in the same place to keep count of them!:D

Was this in the Pacific NW?

I have two... a ProTec and an Arrowhead full-face. It fogged-up too easy so, I took the lense out and wore it with goggles. Had a custom paint job done on it, too. :D I prefer to not wear a helmet but after a certain incident, I wouldn't jump without one.

One Factory Diver that I've had for 10 years, mostly on FF jumps. I'm a creature of habit.

had a Gath but gave it away,
have 2 Cookie FF lids, one has a split in it, I'll f/glass that and use it for my 3000 hours Tunnel in December
Also have a Fuulface, Oxygyn, i rarely wear due to being a pain with specs.

Wearing glasses is the reason why I like my Factory Diver, they work great together. Sure, I got a little hot wearing it in the summer, but I live in FL so I'd be hot without it anyway.

Yeah the Oxygyn wasn't the smartest choice of fullface, opening and closing the face shield is a pain. But in the air it's briliant

...and what kind?

I have 3 ProTecs, 4 frap hats, A Gunner and a SkySystems camera helmet.

That's a 1000 bucks in headgear! :S



One BH mantle for cameras, one BH gunner for fun jumps. Also about 1000 bucks in head gear. (Not counting the cameras, quick releases, switches, etc.)
Onward and Upward!

A Bonehead Guner (was my :D and only helmet for about 400 jumps)

A Paratec FreeZR2 (had been wanting a full-face for a while and finally found a full-face that I liked and that fit my freakishly large head)

A Cookie G2 (I had absolutely no need for a new full-face, I just think it's sexy as hell... and I like the visor better than the FreeZR2)

That's also about (or maybe just over) $1000 bucks in headgear. :D
