They are quieter than G3s. The people I know that have them (in Belgium) are quite happy with it. They do have an audible pocket, and from what I remember, they have some sort of impact protection certification, similarly to G4s or TonFly TFX. To my knowledge, these are the only 3 skydiving full face helmets with some sort of certification. I don't know the details of the certification though.

They get scratched quite easily though, so the shiny finish don't last long if you are not careful. And after heavy use the strap starts tearing up. I have seen that in one of the first batches, maybe they corrected that already. I have never seen that in G3s

The protection they offer is mainly because of the padding they have, nothing to do with the carbon fibre shell. I don't know why people keep associating carbon fibre with protection. Some people even "show it off" by comparing how ABS shells buckle and how carbon fibre shells don't. That has nothing to do with protection. A steel pot doesn't buckle either, but you don't want that on your head.

Thank you for the information. The fact that they scratch is quite a bummer but I guess they all do eventually

Why is a carbon fiber shell critical to you?

Protection, durability, weight and design. In that order.

Last time I was in the tunnel, maybe half a year ago, I saw some instructors with those. They wear them a lot, and seem to like them better than a G3. They also look very well made, from a distance at least.

In Europe they are becoming more and more popular and people seem to love them, therefore looking for someone that already owns one. Unfortunately their lead time is 2 months

never heard of it. that should be your first clue.

It doesn’t mean it’s a bad helmet. It’s german manufacturing, therefore quite normal you have not heard of it in the US.

it’s the only helmet I know with a carbon fiber shell (considering the G2 is not built anymore).

you should check it out https://www.facebook.com/Skyhelmets-210211255784088/

Hi, question to those out there with a Skyhelmet Fujin. How is the helmet for skydiving in terms of visibility, weight, comfort, etc. Does it have audible pockets?

Planning on getting one due to the carbon fiber shell but there is not much information on the internet.
