johnsw71 0 #1 January 29, 2006 Hi all, I'm just off student status and am looking to buy goggles and an altimeter on-line. Can anybody recommend a website with a nice selection that is prompt in delivering the goods? I wouldn't mind picking up a helmet and gloves too, but it would seem to me that I'd be better off getting them somewhere in person where I can try them on first, no? Thanks in advance!

bob.dino 0 #4 January 30, 2006 In that case Gravity Gear and Square 1 should both do you nicely. Both do web sales as well as having bricks-and-mortar stores, and both are in California. Gravity Gear's owner, Bonnie, posts here regularly. Definitely try on the helmet before purchase - everyone's head is a little different and different brands suit different folk. If you've got a particularly small or large head it might be worth waiting to try on the goggles as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GravityGirl 0 #7 January 30, 2006 First off... Thank you Bob. Second... John, if you can come out to Byron we have a selection of goggles and helmets, etc to try on . We are about an hour and fifteen from San Francisco. We can go over pros and cons and find out what best fits you. I'm here Wed - Sun 10am - Sunset. PM me if you want to meet somewhere in the city, we'll be there next tuesday... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear!
