Upgrade Your Skydiving Kit: Meet the Cookie C45 & AON2 Aria
Looking to take your skydiving kit to the next level? Two exciting pieces of equipment are attracting plenty of attention: the brand-new Cookie Composites C45 full-face helmet and the AON2 Aria speaking audible altimeter.
At DZ Sports, we’re always looking for equipment that combines thoughtful design, practicality and the latest technology — and these two products are excellent examples.
The Cookie C45 is the Next Generation of Cookie Helmets
The Cookie C45 is the latest evolution of Cookie’s certified full-face helmet range. Built from carbon fibre, the C45 features a new four-shell design intended to create a lower-volume, lower-profile helmet while keeping weight down. It is certified to XP S 72-600:2018 for skydiving and wind-tunnel flying.
But the C45 isn't just about the shell. Cookie has concentrated heavily on fit and comfort. Replaceable cheek pads are available in four thicknesses - 8, 16, 24 and 32 mm. This allows the fit to be adjusted to suit the individual jumper. The helmet is available across eight sizes, covering head circumferences from approximately 54 to 62 cm.
Ventilation has also been redesigned to help manage airflow and reduce visor fogging, while the helmet's refined shape is designed with stability at speed in mind. There are also internal pockets for audible altimeters, making it an ideal platform for modern skydiving equipment.
With different finishes and visor options available, you can make your C45 as individual as your flying.
AON2 Aria, Hear Your Altitude
The AON2 Aria takes audible altitude awareness in a different direction.
Instead of relying solely on traditional beeps, Aria provides spoken altitude announcements, giving you another way to stay aware of your altitude while concentrating on your skydive.
Aria connects wirelessly to an Android or iOS phone, allowing you to configure its settings through the app. It can store multiple jump profiles, offers altitude announcements and selectable phrases, and includes an integrated jump log recording information such as exit altitude, freefall time and deployment altitude.
For jumpers who like technology that works quietly in the background, Aria offers a simple and modern approach to audible altitude information.
