sundevil777 99 #1 Posted February 9, 2022 https://jediairwear.co.uk/2022/02/g35-cookie-helmet/ I came upon this while wandering gear sites, looks like some interesting features that might be good for photographers and tunnel flyers. It certainly looks like a new design in many ways such as the front chin vent, but can't find info on the cookie website or elsewhere. I don't remember this being introduced, wondering if it had a very short life on the market or what? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita 13 #2 February 9, 2022 According to their FB page (jedi wear) it is a new helmet that is in production. However, it is weird that there is no mention what so ever about it on Cookie's website or FB pageJedi Wear FB Post Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 99 #3 February 9, 2022 Thanks for finding that. Perhaps the Jedi folks didn't comply with a requested announcement date from Cookie. Some find it hard to keep a secret. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita 13 #4 February 11, 2022 No problem :-) I was kind of curious. I thought at one point Cookie was supposed to make an impact resistant helmet, or something like that, so I was wondering if that was it, though it doesn't seem like it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverek 61 #5 February 11, 2022 (edited) They did make G4 (impact resistant/rated helmet). Edited February 11, 2022 by skydiverek Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiquita 13 #6 February 11, 2022 Cookie just posted the notice of the new helmet on FBCookie's FB annoucement skydiverek - I was sure, I haven't been that active in the sport the last few years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some find it hard to keep a secret. Either Jedi jumped the gun, or Cookie was late, or maybe they mixed up time zones! Soon there will be all manner of super custom doohickeys for the removable parts, or are they already out there? The price is more reasonable than I expected.

Travman 6 #8 February 23, 2022 Its up on a few sites now, and I'm told it'll be up on Cookie's site by end of March. But essentially its to fill the gap that they can't meet with the impact rated G4. Attaching ANYTHING to the G4 voids its impact rating. The G35 gives them the ability to provide a helmet that people can attach things to, as many skydivers do, without the impact rating. I kept my old G3 which has a roller mount and cutaway on it just for that, so maybe I'll sell it and get one of these instead. After getting used to the G4, I don't really like the G3 as much! I like the snug G4 fit now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like the snug G4 fit now. As most are aware, the G35 has been released. I believe they're running a size small so definitely try before you buy. Beside a sticky mount and maybe a chin mount, I doubt you'll be seeing any aftermarket mounting options for this helmet other than Cookie's integrated camera mount. The design of the helmet will significantly limit mounting option due to the design that incorporates the top plate and unseen helmet features below the top plate.

JP_1337 0 #10 July 29, 2022 Got mine a few weeks ago, took it to the tunnel and gave it it's first flight. As mentioned above, it is a bit tighter than I expected. I had my head measured several times so I know I ordered correct off the chart, but would have ordered one size larger if I had known. Once I'm in the tunnel I don't even notice, it feels great. I think as the padding breaks in it will be better. This replaced my Fuel, I haven't owned a full face before so not a lot to compare to. It's light weight, great visibility. The visor is tight, a fair amount of force needed to pull it forward to open, and it makes an ear-ringing bang when it closes. Glad I wear ear plugs. All in all I'm really happy with it, and such a big improvement over the open face helmet in the tunnel! I ordered white with a purple top plate, and I have purple tunnel plates on backorder. Excuse the goofy look in the photo, I had just got home from work and saw the package waiting, was excited to try it on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
