the charly helmets arent made for DH either... and yet people use them ( as much as they aren't recommended, its an aero thing.) and note that is just info from the Business, it wouldn't be hard to get onto the actual supplier and get them shipped to AUS.

They come from china. You used to be able to by them direct for about 150AUD but now you can only get them on minimum orders from the factory. There are about 20 different factories that make the same helmet or at least 20 different suppliers in china

if you're going to buy a fullface i'd suggest using a mountainbike helmet. Worker & Bell make quality cheap fullfacers. airborne helmets are not recommended by anyone for skating because they aren't as shock resistant. most people that own one would only use them for racing because they are extremely light and aero among other things..

putting aside the aero vs mtb helmet debate people are so keen to bring up everytime a helmet question is asked, i actually have this very helmet.
they aren't bad at all, in fact I think they are more comfortable and have slightly thicker (marginally) eps foam than the icaro it is modelled off. Not as good as a charly or predator, but still a good glide helmet alternative (depending on how much they are charging for shipping).
There is only 1 or 2 of manufactures of this helmet in China with a few more trading houses that sell them. the quality and build is just as good as icaro

actually just had a re-look at that website, they have extended down the back and increased the point slightly
mine isn't like this at the back, its a copy of the icaro cut
