the D-boys' pro-tec helmets -
05-26-2003, 11:25 PM
When i did my first skydive, they had trouble finding a helemt that would fit me properly, so when i go for my second jump, i intend on having a well-fitting helmet for my head. Anyways, those black protec helmets the D-Boys wear in Black Hawk Down look pretty snazzy and i would like to get one like that one.
Question: does anyone know the exact make and model of the helmets used in the film BHD? Or at least give me an approximation as to what u think it might be. My guess is that it's this one: [url:8a73d]http://www.pro-tec.net/skate/largepix/Classic%20Skate%20gun%20metal%20trans.GIF[/url:8a73d]
Thats the gun-metal grey classic freestyle skate helmet. Do u think West 49 would carry that?

"can u almost make it?" is another seinfeld quip. We wear them to protect from in-air collisions with other jumpers, and to protect from a hard landing where you might bang your head into a wall or something

Yeah, I don't think a helmet is going to help much when your falling at 120MPH.

I've got a helmet like that, diffrent brand, but it looks exactly like that, and it was half the price of the Pro Tec helmets. I got mine at Sportmart, check there.

Okay, just checked mine, it's by Louis Garneau, it's called "The Street", and it looks EXACTLY like the Delta Pro Tecs
