i've had great experiences with charlys. i am fine with using mine for freeride, the vision is so good you dont even know you have it on if your visor is up. look boss, comfortable, dont fog up and make cool noises when you go fast

i recently bought a s9 predator, and i was abit skeptical  about the weight, but from trying on an icaro and my predator the weight was hardly noticeable, mine cost 350$ shipped from daddies

You reckon the Predator is the same weight as the Icaro? it says on the Icaro website that it weighs 850g. Do you know how much your predator weighs?

Okay sweet. I'm not that worried about the weight, at the moment the fullface that I have but never use is like 2.5kg

Dave Robbo has said himself , that there is not really any " true evidence" of one helmet not beingg as safe as another. the predator is designed for dh skating though, but then again the charly is designed to be crashed at high speeds too, so pretty much, go with whatever you want. the chance of you actually stacking right onto your head whilst wearing it is quite low, so get one that is most comfortable for you

the charley isn't designed to crash at high speeds lol.. its a helmet designed for when hang gliders smash their heads into the bars of there hang glider..

seriously, unless you have an excess of cash, helmets like the charlie are a luxury. yeah a charlie is pimp, and light, and I want one (bad). but I can chuck my drop in the back of a ute with the skateys and not have to be worried that it might get smashed, and it wont smash if I drop it out of the car as I'm pulling other gear out. they are just way more durable for everyday use.
