Re: Best Helmets

[Wildmedic17@aol.com]

       We just got the new CGF Gallet helmets where I work. I have nothing to compare them to (since mine is the first helmet I've had), but they seem comfortable and lightweight and they look very good. They seem to have a fairly slender "profile"...I don't bump it in our BO-105's as much as I expected to.
       Most of our pilots (all of whom who have worn different helmets) seem to like them, too. Any questions on them please let me know....I'll do my best to help you out.
