  1. G2

    in Helmets

    Yes, visor is a piece of shit, and Cookie is not admitting it. Awesome customer service, thanks guys... I want to be able to see the mal above my head. The Ranch Pro shop have been complaining to them for a while.

    My helmet, my girls, at least 3 others develop a visor cracking , and there is nothing you can do about it. Fogs up pretty bad as well. Have fun on bigway break offs.

    G2 is the best helmet I've used otherwise, comparing to Mamba, Factory Diver, Oxygen, Z1. I've yet to try the paratec.

    Give it a 3. Why? Because if the visor issue will get resolved, then it would be a 5 star helmet. 1 star off for customer service, another star off for not jumping the thing enough before putting on the market.

  2. comparing to
    safire2 300+
    sabre 1 (200 jumps on them)
    sabre 2 (50 jumps)
    stiletto 10 jumps (fun spinning madness)

    chose the canopy because of super nice openings that are nice to my back if you jump 10+ times/day

    learn the flare of this canopy, its not the same as PD...

    in my inexperienced hands, the canopy flies similar to sabre2, almost identical.

    The openings can be a bit scary, constant 1K+ foot openings. I have had 1 hard opening on this canopy... just like my team mate who got slammed on a spectre few weeks back. i guess anything can slam.

  3. Guys,

    The canopy I have is a Sabre 1, 230. Wing loading 1 to 1.

    It came with a pocket slider, whatever the heck that means.

    But I have trash packed it, normal packed it... any-way packed it for the last 150 jumps.

    150 jumps, all decent openings.

    No, its not as smooth as a saphire or sabre2.

    If you're on budget, you cant go wrong :)
