Oh, and tell them they should make a blue one too, with white stripes! I would buy blue over others.
Any chance of buying a proto?

keep up to date with the project @

Predator Designs Inc.

as far as the design of the shape of the helmet, i don't think its changed much, said he modified the chinguard a little bit but not the back of the helmet.

got to hold Casey Morrow's predator. What a dope helmet. Inside looked more like a MTN bike helmet than a paragliding helmet, outside was sleek with the carbon fiber look. I wish i had one for myself!
