Yes, indeed

I have the same story as Helmet Fire here...I have worn a 200 for many years, and had it replaced 6 months ago by an Eagle. The 200 fitted like a glove, but the Eagle is impossible to fit, despite many professional attempts..it is extremely uncomfortable. The chin strap is cheap and nasty, and another Eagle in the place had the nape tensioner fly apart. And with NVGs? No good at all, even with the modded visor. Shame really, because the 200 was an excellent helmet.

I am having mine replaced with the Gentex...As Helmet Fire attests, it is not a thing of beauty..it reminds me of the old SPH4, but it is comfortable, functional, good with NVGs (ANVIS, at least), and it has the PEP setup.

Happy Landings...
