The Rapier full face helmet is designed with the dedicated RW flier in mind. Extra ventilation helps reduce "fog-ups" and as expected, visors are treated with anti-fog. The visors are available in Lenses are available in clear, tinted* and mirrored*. Dual audible altimeter pockets are supplied standard, one on each side. Liners are interchangeable to adjust size and maximise comfort. Our design addresses many concerns of "losing" other brand helmets in freefall by utilising a draw cord closing system and also a strong chin strap. The chin strap is riveted to the shell, not just glued as with other brands. Keeping the Rapier firmly on your head. Our visors are manufactured from the highest quality polycarbonate available to keep it clearer, longer, and maximise the life of the visor. Our chin strap clip is much stronger than some other brands. We also guarantee to reduce your "running costs" by supplying original visors to you cheaper than other manufacturers. (* extra charge.) Accompanying soft padded helmet bags are available from stock. Artwork is optional.

Cheap
Very poor workmanship
If price is your only criteria then the Rapier may be for you. Personally I prefer to be supplied with a quality product that resembles the advertised claims.

The helmet is very poorly finished, the sizing is incorrect – I measure 58cm and a large is very tight with no chance of wearing a Time Out, the visor is glued into the helmet – not great for fitting a new one, though mine was loose on arrival!
Service was excellent until the imperfect product arrived, Headfirst are now ignoring my e-mails, though not before informing me that the Rapier is on special offer because of the poor quality. (Pity they didn’t tell me this before I paid, as it is not mentioned anywhere on their website or on the invoice supplied.)

It may be cheap but if like me you have to buy another helmet it ceases to be much of a bargain.
(Contact me and I’ll e-mail you photos of this product and you can make up your own mind.)
