Bell-powered Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 A while back I read an article about a new helmet manufacturer, carbon fibre, sleek design, but very light weigh.But now I cant find it again. Anyone can point me in the right direction? Cheers 3 Quote

Over-Talk Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 With this, or any other helmet, I urge you to spend the extra $200 on a Zeta liner and soft seal Hush kit. Priceless comfort!! Quote
Bif Posted March 18, 2014 Report Posted March 18, 2014 I still haven't heard any more info about these guys or their product Quote
Bell-powered Posted March 18, 2014 Author Report Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks guys that's it. Def. Will pay the extra. Quote

Chopper Guy Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 I wouldn't waste my time with these helmets, the coast guard purchased a huge number of these for there technicians. They had to be returned 3 times for the wrong impedance and aircraft compatibility. Also, I had the opportunity to inspect 6 of the helmets and all had poor craftsmanship and quality. Quote
ridgeline Posted March 19, 2014 Report Posted March 19, 2014 What specifically did you find was poor about the quality Chopper Guy? Just curious as I'm looking at getting one myself. I talked directly to the dealer and from what he told me they sounded pretty good (obviously) but he also said they have a 30 money back deal... for any reason if a customer isn't satisfied they'll refund the helmet no questions asked.

Keep in mind I doubt they'll refund shipping and taxes, which is a fair bit of coin for a helmet... Quote
Chopper Guy Posted March 20, 2014 Report Posted March 20, 2014 One of the issue I observed was the hardware/fasteners used to assemble the helmet. Out of the six, none had matching fasteners. Some of them was protruding thru the teflon locking nuts as much as 1/4 inch creating a safety concern since it was protruding on the inside of the helmet. Secondly, the visor. The inside visor in a duel visor setup was contacting the rubber trim that is glued to the edge of the helmet. Therefore scratching the visor, this was found on the 3 out of the 6. Hope the last makes sense. Good luck! Quote
