Cessna Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hi Just a quick question...some years ago I went flying with a chap in a Thruster microlight, I found the spare microlight helmet and separate head set a bit bulky, and noted he had a rather tidy helmet set up. It turned out to be a standard motor cycle helmet (open faced) in which he had installed speakers and a small boom mike from a motorcycle intercom. All fairly standard components and it worked rather well! He got good engine sound attenuation and a very comfortable set up. Are there any problems with this approach for PPG? I was thinking the helmets would be heavier than a PPG/microlight helmet, but once you've added the headset I doubt there is much in it? Kind regards Cessna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbertflyer Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 I use one of these motorcycle helmets for PG http://www.shark-evoline.com/English.html . Great versatility with visor, full/open face and built in sunglasses, but the noise attenuation isn't as good as my PPG helmet http://www.flycom.co.uk/flying_helmets.htm Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve. I have the same. sweat but $. If $ is an issue get the Icaro Scarab plus Pelto ops III ear covers without the radio. I fly with my earplugs under the opsIII most times. Then save the $ and add the M/Avionics later cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
