skybill 19 #28 May 20, 2011 Hi Jimmy, A black frappe hat, replaced my old beat up 1982 model and also my old now retired because it was falling apart WWII brown leather aviators' flying helmet. Ones that have gone on from before the 1982 frappe hat were an old blue Cooper hockey hat, a gold metal flake half price auto parts store motorcycle helmet and a bunch of resurrected discarded APH-6 Navy aviators' hats that I put together back when I was in the Navy.SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill, Mine's real French, are there many still existing out there? lisa Hi Lisa, 'Couldn't really tell ya'. Back in the daze of Capewells', "L" bar connector links and hardware like that "Hardhats" ruled especially when an L-Bar link cracked you up side the head!! Then the "Get Lite" maddness took a hold and everybody started doffing their French Boots for sneakers, L-bar links for "French "Rapide" links and hardhats for "French Hats!!" and Cooper Hockey hats. I recall either Elsinore or Perris or both tried "Outlawing" "Soft" hats (Non-Rigid) leather or cloth for a while. Funny thought the "French Hat" was considered OK because it had those raised tootsie rolls on the sides!! The contraversy didn't last long then it was "Run what ya' Brung!!"SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rehmwa 2 #47 May 20, 2011 Currently: 1 - Z1 Fullface (RW, cold days, tunnel, AFF) 2 - Mindwarp - older one (FF, AFF) 3 - New Mindwarp (Camera) modified with a streamlined top mount for cameras (just picked it up yesterday fully ready to go - picture was before the assembly and addition of the mounting plate for the still up front) Critical to me is the fit and visibility. Absolutely, the audible needs to be internally mounted (under the shell). lately, the new helmets have NOT impressed my with the audible pockets (containment). Both of my old helmets we've resewn the containment due to bad glue or crappy design as the audible would just fallout randomly. Better now. Haven't looked at the containment much on the new helmet - hoping it's better. sold or trashed: been through a couple frap hats, another Z1, a protec, an Invertigo Found my last frap hat three years ago in the back of my locker covered with a yellow thick mold of some kind my next fullface, I'm looking for one with less leakage mainly for the tunnel - my eyes dry out. Already a few nice one one the market. It'll be awhile ($$$) ...
