Bush Bunny Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Hi all, Just checked with a company in the States that deals in Alpha Helmets and the guy asked if I had heard of the Eagle, apparently an upgrade/replacement of the A 200. It's lighter and with a few other design features. They're the same $$$, so if I can get some info before commintting, I's apprecitate it. I already know it fits very well. Oh, single or dual visor? Thoughts? Thanks again, BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve76 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Gidday Bunny, I actually have one of the Eagles at work at the moment. I called that chap Nigel and he sent one for trial. It is a very light helmet and my cojoe with the Gallet commented that it was lighter than his. He also paid $3200, whereas the Alpha is only about $1800. I really like it and probably will order one soon. If you want to join forces we will get a better price. I know a few other lads who are dead keen as well. I have been using the old Alpha 200 and wouldn't ever go back to the Gentex. It is a great piece of kit and I have seen it save a life. Not that there is anything wrong with the Gentex but the Alpha is better. For the new guys who are out there: I have a Alpha 200 for sale. It is good condition with no scratches, dual visor and the military grey colour. It isn't a military helmet but simply an option you can take. Yours for $900 with new ear seals, cleaned with fitting kit (my head size is 57cms and the helmet is a Large) to space it to your nut.

RDM Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Steve, Who, how and the numbers for contact if ya get a moment. I gave been wearing the Alpha for the past 8 years and swear by it, but if they have something newer and lighter I am keen on having a look. For those interested, I have two, yellow, single visor, dirty, stinky, and have the crap smashed outa them.......but I will sell them for, lets say $890 :up: :up: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bag swinnger Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 I have been using the eagle since the end of the summer. I received one with early serial numbers so it was kind of a prototype and there were a few teething problems with parts that had to be replaced, but it has been a nice helmet and quiet. A friend just bought one with the noise cancelling and says that it is very nice and works well but $3,000.00can is pretty steep, mine worked out to about $2,000.00can including tax.
