JoshK Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Wow, i honestly don't think I could keep a straight face if I saw somebody climbing with that! "On Belay!" "Blue, Iowa, 42, Hut, Hut, HIKE!!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 On 3.0 days I sometimes windsurf with a similarly equipped Conrad hockey helmet that I hit with a Sawzall to cutout a rectangle over the eyes. Sometimes I get concerned with the weight of it contributing to a whiplash-like effect on big crashes - especially when I get whipped around the front of the board hooked in which [unfortunately] still happens on rare occasions...

John Frieh Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 As stupid as it looks I gotta say I would look more stupid with a glass eye or permanently tweaked nose... Hey NYC007! Is it one size fits all or do they come in multiple sizes? Does your shop carry them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genepires Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 Would have to agree with John on this helmet. Last week my tool popped and smacked me hard in the forhead, right underneath the helmet. Some good blood was pouring and a nice scar I bet. I have been thinking of the consequences of a shot to the nose or teeth and the damages, to me and the wallet. This week I have been looking into hockey masks! Jason (friday the 13th style) on ice. thanks for showing the mask John. gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ade Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I agree up to a point but where are you going to stop? I mean you could wear motocross body armour to protect yourself from falling ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Frieh Posted January 8, 2006 Author Share Posted January 8, 2006 Wounds to the body are fine with me... it's stuff on the face I am most concerned about/would like to prevent. I found the Petzl face shield thing is plenty for the alpine... when jumping on the super overhung mixed lines I have been using a mouth guard but that seems to limit my breathing. The gladiator might be where it is at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosephH Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Windsurfers were using motocross armour on big days for awhile but I think everyone bagged it as too clunky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scheissami Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Clearly, I could benefit from this helmet. Or would I look more manly if next time the adze knocks out all my teef? Women dig men with a busted grill, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobo Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Of course they do, just ask this guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYC007 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 (edited) I believe its one size. We will have them but they have not been offically released yet. This one wont fog up either.. I am waiting for the one w/o the shield..COMFY Edited January 11, 2006 by NYC007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
