Looking for Helmet

Postby Coyote » Thu Sep 07, 2006 4:44 pm

Hey guys
I am looking for a flying helmet, not the kind that the visor folds up but where the visor slides up and is tinted. I have seen aerobatic pilots fly with them. They look very light and snug with built in headsets. Anyone know where I can get something like this?

No, in that case it would have been Mr Helmet, or Sir Helmet.

Re the helmets with visors I have seen some Gyro guys using them, built in headsets and a dark slideable visor. I'll try and find out
