Wildrose Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I have recently taken a job doing seismic and my old gentex is just annihilating my neck. I am looking for any input on a nice light, comfortable, sound attenuating helmet. If anyone knows prices that would be greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in Advance, WR Quote

Thank you in Advance, WR I think the Gallet LH 050 is about as compact and light as they get. I have an LH 250 myself and love it. Quote
JetA1Burner Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 I agree the Gallet 050 about as light and compact as you'll get. Im 6'2 and and hang out of a 500 with one on and have no prob. Used to have a Gentex and that was another story..... Quote
mg42 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Posted January 26, 2012 You could take your visors off too. That's what I did and it made the difference. Quote

Wildrose Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Posted January 27, 2012 anybody heard much about the gallet 350? Ive seen pictures of it but no price. looks like a pretty pimp helmet. Quote
Guest 47yrLowTimer Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 Ive seen pictures of it but no price. looks like a pretty pimp helmet. http://store.tigerpe...-LH350-USA.aspx http://www.helicoptersonly.com/contents/en-us/p2052_MSA_Gallet_LH350_Helmet.html about $2400.00 looks pretty sweet, wish I had the spare cake. The old gentex will have to do for now. Quote
310-FIRED Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 ya its not a bad price, a bit more expensive than the 250. i'm just wondering if its gonna make longlining a bit harder, the helmet looks to me a little shorter but wider... anybody have any experience with it? Quote
JetA1Burner Posted January 27, 2012 Report Posted January 27, 2012 One of the guys I work with has just brought one. Alot wider than a normal Gallet but not as tall . Personally I dont like it prefer my 050. He does reckon the comms are awesome though. Quote
