Helmet fit

Recommended Posts

Yesterday I tried on a Headfirst Cougar Full face and the fit was really odd.
Now I have been riding motorbikes for over 20 years and have worn lots of full face helmets most of which are reasonably comffy.
But the Cougar was horrible,

Do skydiving full face helmets fit and feel strange by comparison or is it just the Cougar ????

I tried a Cougar that a friend here ordered.. I did not care for it.. its similar to the Z1 full face from ParaSports Italia.... the little buttons on the front to tilt the face shield up is ANNOYING. The cougar was harder to open than the Z-1... and it fogged up.

I will be buying a Bonehead HAVOK. I tried one and it ROCKED.. spendy but it fit and the whole face portion rotates up...but hey its only money.... but again.. spendy

its the exact same dimentions as the Z1, its a direct copy. I've tried on boths and they fit the same. Thats going to be good for some and not so good for others.

The oxygen is the most comfortable full face i've triend on. We all have different shaped heads - helmets will fit different people in different ways.

I dont like the havok - one of the main reasons people like full face's is because they offer jaw protection in landing accidents. you lose that with the havok... and damn its big - you look some freaky star wars storm trooper in that thing

I own a bonehead boomerang first edition, its VERY comfy but looks kinda ugly and is not flip up.

the Z1 I don't like, to tight gives me the creeps (claustrophobic (sp?)), and also tried a Factory Diver, this one felt kinda tight too.
