ive been looking to get a new helmet for a long time and i finaly found one i liked.its made by Capix,who doesnt even have a web site.ive never seen a skull cap like this one and i pretty much just stumbled on to it.
its acually a wake boarding helmet but is worn by a few sponcered pro skaters too.the down side is it only comes stock with 2 air holes.well i fixed that, i tediously added 12 more!
i was really carefull not to drill the holes at random.i paid 40 bucks for this thing and here i am perfferating it? it reminded me of the CF plate but it had to be done.i think i did a pretty good job at keeping them all uniform.
if you look very close,just above the DT sticker you can see me leaning in for the pic.
Jagur, Can you take a picture of the inside. I can’t tell from their website what it looks like. Second, sometimes it is hard to tell when you are being sarcastic. It doesn’t always translate well to written words.
thanx,i need this helmet would shake things up a bit.the words cool and helmet dont usally sit well together.
now why would they have a web site with a differant spelling than whats on the product? i did a search awile ago and saw Capixco as a link but thought it was a oil company or somthing…i learned that mine is the Pro Sports cap and is 336 grams
Bugman,yes i did drill holes in it.no sarcasim there or was there somthing else you meant ? i cant take a pic of the inside because DudleyDoRide is the camera in this town and i think he will be one on a fishing trip for a week.i sould have thought of that.
i cant also say that you can wear this thing either direction but the way the pads are,it is a better feel backwords.
Seriously Jagur, that helmet is you! I really like a visor to shade my eyes so I would prefer to wear it the other way if I could. Or I could add a visor to the front, that would be a look.
And I think Bugman may have been referring to whether that was really the way it was intended to be worn.
Anyway, good find. Let us know how you like it after some riding time.
i KNEW not need.stupid thing wouldnt let me edit arg!!!
JoChem,yep that a Coffins sticky…
Bugman,go to the Pads and Accesories part of the site.there is a pic of the replacement pad kit.that will help a little.the bath tub grippy looking thing is right on top of your head while wearing the helmet.
I thought you were being sarcastic about it being worn the way you had it on in the picture. Of course, I do believe you would wear it backwards, but that is you.
Is the inside paded similiar to any other BMX helmet? Also you did a superb job on the holes. If you hadn’t pointed it out, no
one would have been able to tell.
