Helmets.....

[Ryan]

Do many of you wear sun glasses with your helmet? I have a great pair of Serengetis but when I try them with the HGU-56, the arms break the seal on the ear cups. The resulting noise filling the helmet is deafening so I just use the visors, which is still fine by me. I find a better field of view with visors anyways.

Sexual Chocolate,

 

Can't help ya with the Gallet thing. I know Van Isle used to sell them... Try a google search. It should turn up some info.

 

 

The Alpha starts at about $1130.00 and can get up over $2000 with all the bells and whistles such as ANR etc.

I've had the SPH-5, the HGU-55, and now wear the HGU-84. This is by far the nicest helmet for longline work that i've worn. I found that the plastic visor cover on the SPH series helmet just gets in the way. You end up smacking the visor adjustment knob on almost every part of the door trying to get into the bubble. I guess it really depends on the type of work you want to do in the industry.With the light and compact design of the HGU-55 and HGU-84 its no problem spending 8 hours in the bubble.

 

ps. the design of the HGU-56 looks too much like a storm trooper lid from a star wars movie. :down:

How would you know?

Hey 4961 or is it 4169?

 

Get out of that crap hole yet? I guess i can't say much about the 8 hour thing, not when you were hogging all the 8s! Lets rephrase that. You could probably spend 8 hours in the bubble with the said lid. Hows that? Anyways, you probably have better weather up in canada than i'm having right now. Nasty snow storm down here today-no flying.Keep that steem chicken doing 8s and you'll be a pro in no time at all, **** you'll even make the Big Giant Head look silly.

Hey VX, just remember, what takes 8 hours in a 212 only takes five and a half in a 2X5...

Just pulling your chain by the way about the eights.

 

At the end of the day, it's picking stuff up and putting it down, but still I'm a humbled man.
