pistonhigh Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 FWIW... the available info out there misrepresents actual delivered weight. I bought one because of it’s supposed super light weight. When it arrived, was very disappointed to find it actually weighed MORE than my single visor alpha That being said...Very nice nice fit and finish, and very low profile.

Bif Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 This is neither here nor there, but I watched Alien Covenant the other night and I'm pretty sure the drop ship pilots were wearing Northwall helmets? So that was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDont Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Can anyone with this helmet compare the weight to a gallet 250? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bee3 Posted June 21, 2019 Report Share Posted June 21, 2019 The Northwall is not super light. But it feels "light". I have had mine for around 5 years now and I will never purchase a different brand of Helmet. I spend most of my day looking down the hole in the Astar and Im 6' 2' and never notice the weight of the helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably won’t have much trouble finding a 250 that someone can throw on a scale for you and confirm but I believe it’s very, very similar PH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDont Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 Thanks PH, I just threw my 250 on my food scale... 1444 grams. I guess that answers that. Very similar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanging Out Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 HGU-84 single bungee visor with Lightspeed ANR = 966 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonhigh Posted July 7, 2019 Report Share Posted July 7, 2019 For comparisons sakes... Sent the northwall back and ended up with Gallet 050 single. All up, 1245 grams with the soother liner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tee4 Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Just weighed my LH250 with the outer visor removed, Soother liner, Soother ear cups, CEP, and a bail out cord. And of course a couple of stickers to make it go faster. 1150 grams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieBrown Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I tried one on at Skye Avionics, and am pleased that it fits my glasses with the inner visor down. The things I hate about my gallet have been rectified with the Northwall design. Love the twist tightener on the back, quality leather (I twice replaced the leather surround on my gallet), beefy chin strap, click style visor controls (my gallet’s Inner visor always slides down by itself), love the dual internal visors. I ordered one, not exactly cheap, but I’m not sure what the other brands are selling for these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
