Need an advice for the full face helmet
arogina replied to SFBayArea's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Not many full face helmets restrict vision if you have a proper fitting helmet. I use a z1. It fits me well. It may or may not fit you. just depends on what is comfortable for you. Having a full face helmet saved me from testing my aad after a mid-air collision. the collision actually bent my visor and I had to replace it. I could only imagine what could have happened if I was wearing an open face. I was knocked senseless for a couple seconds but was able to reach back and pull. So yes go full face, but make sure you get a proper fit. Remember more expensive helmets don't mean more protection/quality. iv seen a bonehead composite helmet crack after someone hit the runway on a night jump (no flare). talk to a rigger, aff/tandem instructors, your dzo, and try on others helmets if you can (if your unable to make it to a boogie soon) and ask questions. if you can get into a cutaway harness with the helmet your thinking of buying to get the feel of it. like I said before the helmet should not restrict your vision if fitted properly. -
Just want everyone to be aware to NOT do business with Raul Velesquez from New Jersey. After having a written agreement to sell me his canopy he turned around and sold it to someone else. I am sorry but if you have an agreement written or not be true to your word. Instead he choose to be dishonorable. If anyone wants proof of this msg me and i will show you everything that was discussed.
