Alpha Eagle Helmet

[Klipper]

I'm looking to buy a new Helmet, just wondering if anyone out there is wearing the Alpha Eagle helmet, and if so do you like it?

 

How does it compare to the SPH5?

 

Any info would be appreciated.

 

Thanks :up:

I was also thinking of trading my sph-5 rustbucket in for an Alpha Eagle.

 

So I second the motion for information on them. Also, if anyone knows where to buy Alphas in North America, that would be nice to know. All I could find online is that outfit in the U.K.

 

Thanks from me too.

It's great.

 

Super comfortable, light, 10hrs a day no worries.

 

The distributer on the other hand.... CRAP!!! They are a nighmare to deal with.

 

But the helmet is fantiastic. The hard cover is too big though, so go for the soft cover and one visor if you intend to long-line at all. The fit system is adaptable to your specific needs and works very well. Like I said, you can wear it all day long and not think about it.

Hey JB

I have the info at home in the shop, soon as I get home I will call ya.When I ordered mine it came really quick & I like alot but the dual visor takes a while to get used to it slinging but can be done.I think its worth the dual if you heli-ski, makes a big diff.

How kind of you Flinger, but better you than me...!

 

Could you PM me a price for a new coiled cord? Mine got damaged the other day, still works but intermittantly.

Hey guys just talking to Brian in North Carolina, seems like really good service so far will let you know how it goes.

 

Sorry Flinger I spoke to him before I knew you were a dealer. So just to confirm, aguy should go with the single visor with soft cover? I was thinking of doing the dual visor thing.

[Jet B]

Thanks Flinger, I saved your e-mail address and once I'm ready to buy one I will contact you.

I'm out of the office until next Wed the 26. I'll email everyone and look after ya when I get back.

He can email/fax/send all the info.

 

The more of us that want them...the better the price

 

yeah, like that will happen.

 

Price for the dual visor with all avionics was just over $2000. If you order outa the states, it was about $1700 can. No duty cause its a saftey item, but it may get held up in customs...my first helmet did for about a month.
