n5296s & AerocatS2A - thank you, they looked pretty well made, whilst keeping in line with the tiger era. Are they comfortable? And the active noise cancelling isn't ruined by the air rushing past the pickups?
Comfort is a relative thing when it comes to aerobatics, but let's say it's not distracting. The Pitts has a closed canopy, but I've also worn it in open cockpit aircraft (Waco, Great Lakes). Surprisingly there is no air rushing past, it's surprisingly calm within the envelope of the cockpit. The Pitts is extremely noisy though - the DC copes with it but my Lightspeed headsets don't like it at all.
