Ditto on the CGF Gallet.  Purchased one for personal use after using 
the SPH-5 our program provides.  It is light, compact, and very 
comfortable.  I can actually sit up straight in the Dauphin and 
Power without hitting my head on the ceiling.  (I'm 5'11").  I would 
get a zeta liner for sure.

We use the CGF Gallet helmet at Bayflite.  The Gallet is very 
comfortable
and lightweight.  I would
strongly recommend it,  especially if you wear your helmet for long 
periods
of time.  I have had
less trouble with the avionics and visors than with previous 
brands.
