Full face helmets?

[pietmeyer]

Anybody flying with a full face helmet? I know this topic comes up every once in a while, or should I say every winter. What are the pro and con of flying with a full face helmet?

I am also looking for a spare Buzzcom helmet. Anynody have a used one lying arround that you would like to sell?

Cheers

Piet, Air Hog has been visiting us for kits, take a look at what we supply to the UK....Conrad has been sourcing parts from us for almost two years and is building/converting helmets in Gauteng. I think on a commercial basis as well as he has taken several kits from us ?

See http://www.headsetkits.com/ for how to do it.

We are making a Nomad helmet that is to be supplied with a Snowmobile visor, waiting for visor stocks. We have the prototypes and the eps liner is being made.

Unfortunately to build a kit into a helmet is not justifiable time wise for us, hence we supply the kits. Golden rule is to use a earseal of some kind inside. We can supply Nappa leather units that are fitted in a EOD helmet that seem to work fairly well. If a customer wishes to use with a chatterbox system we supply 4 x 1/2 AA Li Ion primary cells which give about 200hrs before replacement. Super light and cheap as they are used in Mac G4 computers. We also supply rechargeable units.

Cheers Zulu1

I fly with a Domex full face helmet with build in headsets.I bought it about 5 years ago and still use it.

I have a Vega Full Face Fliptop helmet and I picked up a kit from Paul. Works like a bom. The lot cost me less than a Buzcom helmet (That is the NEW helmet and the headst kit)
This is the way to go.

I use a Brittish Flycom helmet:

They are good but expensive.
