Requested by jumpers. Developed by Cookie.
The C45 began with feedback from the people using Cookie helmets in aircraft, freefall and the tunnel. The development brief focused on better airflow, greater customization, improved fit and simpler helmet installation and removal. Cookie says the resulting carbon helmet is lighter, quieter and more customizable, with refinement extending across hundreds of smaller details.
C is for Carbon
Cookie has confirmed that the "C" in C45 stands for Carbon. Detailed information about the carbon construction, finished helmet weight and available finishes has not yet been published.
Cookie has not confirmed that all relevant shell structural layers are carbon.
Advanced Ventilation
Improved airflow was one of the central requests that shaped the C45 development brief.
Custom Fit System
The new fit system is designed to provide more adaptability than selecting a nominal helmet size alone.
Quiet by Design
The helmet has been developed with reduced aircraft and freefall noise as a specific design objective.
Certified Protection
The C45 is XP S 72-600 certified — the skydiving and wind tunnel helmet standard. Cookie has announced certified protection and the applicable standard has now been confirmed.
These are Cookie's five official launch pillars. XP S 72-600 certification has now been confirmed. No quantified airflow, noise or fit results have yet been released.
Already demonstrated in the skydiving environment
Cookie brought physical C45 demonstration units to Summerfest at Skydive Chicago. Official footage shows a C45 inside the aircraft and being presented during the event. The demonstrations establish that working units exist, but Cookie has not yet published independent user reviews or measured performance results.
