Lando Skiff Helmet REPRO V1

This repro first appeared on the market in November 2014. It comes from Mexico and is made from resin. The repro helmet is very similar to an original as can be seen on the comparison picture. The helmet sounds like an original during the drop test. It fails the float test and will sink when placed in water - note: an orignal helmet will also sink.

The helmet is very flexible when new but will harden with age and become brittle - possibly even breaking under pressure.

Logray Headgear Original

As well as a serial number ending in "04", the inside of the Logray Headgear can sometimes be found with letters, EPMs and pegs.
