Future Safety helmet advice needed

[MikeL]

I am after some feedback from anyone who owns a Future Safety helmet. I am thinking of getting one to compliment my Gecko mk10 which can be a bit hot in the summer.

I can't find any reviews or test on the internet!

havent tried or seen the future helmets before, they do look lightweight compared with the gecko.
We use the communicater out on the rigs http://www.comunicator.co.uk/helmet_html/helmets.htm

we had to go for the beta+ as they allow for any type of headset ...although looking at the site its for aviators ......i wonder who picked that

I have also looked at the caberge range of helmets (breeze) in particular ...looked lightweight and has vents and used by quite a few RB 08 entrants.

If you get one do let us know how you rate it ....if you cant find a review theres a prompt to be the first


cheers

The Future Safety helmet is lightweight and reasonably comfortable, but the visor performs poorly in heavy weather as it is very open at the sides. I had one but gave it away - someone here may still have it.

What do you want from a helmet? Do you actually need impact protection?

I normally wear a gecko with visor and I was looking at this as a hot weather version. I need some head protection and some wind protection to the face.

It would certainly be more comfortable than a Gecko in hot weather, and would probably be OK for you in reasonable conditions.

Whats all this talk of summer and hot weather then - have I missed something???

Surley a 'Save Phace' would be more comfortable and cooler though ?

[John Kennett]

Vastly superior in every way - apart from impact protection for the head.

Since that's what Mike says he wants I resisted the temptaion to give him the hard sell
