Helmet question

[scottbre 0]

I am looking into getting a helmet with an internal audible area, and am currently looking at two. The aviator, and the velocity. They are both fairly simple open face helmets, and I was just curious what everyone thought about one or the other or both. I only have 17 jumps so far with 5 of them on my own rig (vector II).
Thanks,
Scott

i jump a factory diver (full face) but without the visor, it got an internal pocket which is pretty cool
i have about 60-70 jumps with that helmet and i really love it!
i do about 99% freeflying and it works great.

I jump an older Aviator (with an exterior audible mount). I love it - comfortable, looks good, lightweight and durable. I haven't jumped a Velocity but I have tried one on. My only complaint about that helmet was the weight - it was quite a bit heavier than an Aviator/Mindwarp/Nvertigo is. Other than that it appeared well made and durable.

without the visor, and wearing goggles, my factory diver doesnt fit on my head......
its a tight fit any way, just wondering if you do anything different?

I have the Bonehead Mindwarp with the external pocket. It is ok, but that ProTrack is hard as hell to put in and take out. Oh well, I guess at 130mph, it is good to have it tight.

maybe u should get a larger size?
i now wear a medium size factory diver and it's not tight at all even with an audible inside
before i had this one i jumped a size small and it wasn't tight either.
i think your helmet is just too small for u

Are you talking about my post Omri?? The helmet fits great, but the ProTrack is just REALLY tight in that pouch on the side. That is what I was talking about.

Well, based on what you said, skybytch, I am going to look into getting an aviator, because it looks more comfortable than the velocity, and there are a few more color options.
It is a little bit more expensive, but if I didn't want to spend money on expensive gear, I probably got into the wrong sport.

Try putting the goggles on over the outside of the helmet.

SkyBytch may have forgotten to mention the NEW OptiK helmet from Bonehead. Nice Flat sides, INTERNAL audibles and a special introductory price. Don't take my word for it........ ask the Bytch!
