Did I get the seconds! or is this a normal finish for injection moulding.

I will give Gecko a call on Monday and just check they didn't send me the used MOD ones.
Having a few similar set back's / misunderstandings with the new boat build......so bought the helmets to cheer myself up.... as thought they couldn t go wrong.
Have a sitting room full of bits and an engine waiting to go on, just need to figure out what goes where.......I am sure it was easier last time.

7m Osprey sold last year......wedding to pay for etc.
New 6.5m Osprey now getting built.
As for the helmets had a chat with Gecko today and it seems that the injection moulded matt black marks very easily indeed.....the marks were simply caused by it bouncing around in the cardboard delivery box.
Might change them for shinny black, but not what I really wanted.

Its black again with an Etec 200HO. Just couldn't bring myself to get something smaller and more fuel friendly!
Probably should have gone with a 7m boat again as that extra few cm's makes more of a difference than you think, but the 6.5m should still be good fun.

First time out since we got the helmets, wife was sceptical when i got them "why do we need helmets she said".
While it was sunny today the air was still chilly when running at speed, she was most impressed with how warm and dry she stayed.
Another win for the ribnet community :
