greating s is spelt greetings -

your spelling is better then mine still

I like the sidewinder 2 myself but your best bet is to try them on at a dz as they all fit differently, my head only fits comfortably in 2 or 3 makes.

good luck and welcome to the dz

I jump a Bonehead Mamba and I like it, check out Bonehead composites.

I own and use a Z1 (going on 8 years, I think) and my glasses don't fit under the visor. My glasses aren't even that big; my head mostly fills the shell though, I use XL padding; your head may leave more room for glasses.

I've tried a Freezr but found it too big, it didn't feel solid or comfortable, it felt too big really.

Never worn an Oxygn, sorry.

(You know how most fullface helmets are the same shell for all sizes and have different paddings for differently sized heads, don't you?)

I strongly advise you to try on any helmet you're thinking of buying for fit; this need not be the specific helmet you're buying but should be the exact make and model (and preferably not with a 10 year-old liner in it); you may be able to borrow a friends' for a jump or two.

If and when you know *exactly* what you want, just order it from any webstore in the States and pay in cheap US dollars.

I am. I think.

I've been trying to buy one for 10 years. Either they are too small (largest size available), the size I need isn't the one I expected, I can't see my chest mount altimeter, I don't like the restricted peripheral vision, I want better protection (i.e. protec), or I'm just too damn cheap.

But, I you can't try it on first for size, be sure you can return it, unjumped. Call the individual manuf. for sizing help. One company's XL is another's medium! But you really do want to jump it first, or at least try it on. Especially with glasses.

What he said. Also, a certain helmet's size L can be another helmet's size M.

If the manufacturers can recommend a size to you based on your head measurements, that would help some.

I have had a Factory Diver (the original) for 12 years and it feels very comfortable. Then I got a Bonehead of the same size, and it's almost too tight. I had to heat it up a little bit to stretch the sides apart a little so it would slide on and off a bit easier.

I've owned and jumped and Oxygen A3 for close on 7yrs and never had any issues with my contacts, even when I lifted the visor under canopy. I now own a Factory Diver and it works great, no issues with my contacts.

You cannot go wrong with SkySysyems ...

thanks to all of you.my biggest problem is that no one in my DZ doesnt have any full face helmet and no one in Croatia is a dealer of any of these helmets!!!!!!!

Hello Iko.

The nearest dealer for z1 helmets would be Matej Jerman from Slovenia.

The best price dealer for skysports helmets would be Peter Galos from Slovakia.

If you want you can PM me and i will give you their phone numbers/mails. Can't find them now.

thanks EDO ,you can write me their phone number or E-mail. Oxy,Z1 have place for audiable altimeter,does freezr have one to???

[odeseni 0]

I wrote their info in a PM.

I have never seen a freezr helmet, just heard of them, and i'm not sure about the dytter space. I'm pretty sure it has one. Not sure about the external mount. I have a Z1 for 5 years now. Im happy. my girlfriend had a factory diver for 9 years and just bought another one.

Just make sure it fits your skull and you will be happy with either of them. (or oxygen for that matter)
