Comunica Helmets

Hi Pruners, anyone out there in the big wide world had any experience with Comunica Omega helmets. If so, good or bad and would you recommend one?
Thanks in-advance. ITI

I used one for over a year, do not do it. They are crap.

[1] Far too heavy.
[2] Mic is very prone to condensation problems.
[3] The visor edges are inside the helmet shell when down so that in the event of an impact the visor edge is pushed in-between the helmet and yer head.
[4] External dimensions - apart from making you look like Princess Leah - restricts head movement in many types.

Suggest you use the search function, as the helmet issue has been done previously
