I am looking into a fullface helmet for low jumps, but potentially also wingsuit jumps. I wanted to know opinions please.

I know several people that are using the Bell Bellistic and really like it. Bell Helmets - Bellistic
Obviously skydiving helmets are all crap due to lack of energy absorbing impact foam. There are some great helmets in the paragliding area of things. They are tested and rated to a specific standard. They look a little funny but have really good, clear lines of vision.
Two good places for helmets....... CloudChaser Helmets And.... Wills Wing, Inc. - Product Category Information Page

I hear good things about this one.
Helmet SkyRunner integral
Wish I had the money for one myself.
I tried the Giro Remedy that Harvey has. I found it heavy and didn't fit my melon properly. I liked the Bell Drop. Fit me better and it's lighter than the Remedy.
True fact. Harvey has a gigantic melon.
Supposedly the hot ticket right now is the Cookie "Gas". And you can get a liquid flat-lock for it now. You would be looking at about $450.
I have this one for general purpose stuff. About $90.00 most places.

For jumps I need a full-face helmet for.
Just picked up a Bellistic yesterday! Fits nicely, but is a little heavier than the Z1 I was usingYeah, I decided some actual impact protection would not be a bad thing

I have been looking at SexSixOne helmets:

I tried on the Fox Racing Helmet and I think a full face is going to take some getting used-to as I do not use full face in skydiving.
Has anyone else found they have to adjust to the use of a full face helmet when they first get one?
And what is better, keep it on the tight side, or with a little room?
I tried on the Fox Helmet in large and it was really snug but fit.I.E...
Large is 58cm to 61cm
X-Large is 62cm to 64cm
My head is 60.5cm
Then I tried on the X-Large an was still a little snug, but not like it was painted on.
The other Mick with the funny accent that everyone thinks owns BLiNC...I think he wore a 661 at GFG08
Hit him up.
That's the one!
