What is your favorite headgear?

Recommended Posts

I haven't tried them all, but I like the Cookie MXV (open face). I find it's a lot better and "smarter" built than my previos Bonehead Optik Illusion, and the even more previous Optik. I have kept my Z1 fullface for cold weather jumps, but I have worn it maybe 3 times in the last 4 years, so not much data there :(

I purchased the Parasport Italia Z1 shortly before I deployed. It fits ever-so-nicely to my massive dome :D, and Ive HEARD the vent around the mouth area allows for cool air to ventilate during freefall. I like the fact that I was able to buy a tinted lens. I bought a Neptune N3 to mount as my audible, but havent yet. Unfortunately, I havent had a chance to jump it yet :P, but I will get back to ya on that one... Still gotta finish AFF when I get home in a few weeks. [:/]

Attached are pics with the tinted lens.

In freefall, you have the rest of your life to figure out what's wrong. -Joe, AFF Instructor

I have one each of:
Z1
OXYGN
Cookie MXV
Bonehead Guner

Each for a different purpose. I don't really jump the Z1 much anymore because it needs new padding and the OXYGN fits fine. :$ The MXV has my camera mounted on it, and the guner is for when I just want to fun jump with an open face (or when I need people to be able to see my mouth in the air)

I keep a pro-dytter between all the helmets, just gotta remember which one I left it in last. :S:D

With my teammates, I need full-face. I'm fed up with my Oxygn A3. Poor manufacturing of the place that the ratchets go causes face shields to break too often.

I tried both the Cookie and the Phantom, and I like the fit of the Phantom slightly better. For a teammate, it's exactly opposite -- the Cookie fits him better. The face shields on both of them are leaps and bounds ahead of the Oxygn shields.
