Bart
Laughed at your description. When I am working in ag operations, I wear my custom Kevlar helmet from FlightSuits LTD ($700+ with all the avionics and now 20 years old), a nomex flight suit, nomex gloves, and boots (not steel toed). The helmet looks like it has been to the wars and back and has saved me many hard lumps and lost skin from banging around in turbulence, it has helped to save my hearing and even then I wear earplugs under the helmet. The nomex suit is more for warmth on cold early mornings up in northern MN and it saves on my street clothes getting helicopter filthy. The nomex gloves I use for warmth as well as giving me a more positive feel on the controls especially when my hands get slippery from perspiration when the temps get up there. I did take some birds thru the windscreen one time while flying in Egypt and they left a feather smear on the side of my helmet. I don't use a visor though. Rocky |
