The Cookie G2 Helmet represents a new beginning in the design of Full-Face Flip Up Visor helmets used for skydiving.

In close consultation with world champion teams such as Arizona Airspeed and Arizona Arsenal we are able to design and test the G2 in environments encountered by professional skydiving teams. Key criteria for the G2 helmet were

  • A Thicker Visor for better protection
  • A Visor locking system that cannot fail and leave the wearer with an open face shield in freefall
  • A Low jaw line, increasing peripheral vision and communication
  • Increased ventilation for the hour long wind tunnel session

Recommended by Craig Girard

The New G2 Helmet Features

  • Carbon Fibre outer shell
  • 2mm Injection molded poly-carbonate Visor with anti fog coating that meets optical standard
  • Secure Visor Locking Mechanism
  • Increased Peripheral Vision
  • d3o Impact protection liner
  • Front and rear vents
  • Velcro-less liner sinching system
  • The abilty to wear certain glasses beneath the visor

Available now from Smartrigs and the UKS Gear Store
