Chris Stubbs Has more than 9500 Skydives and has participated in State and World Record skydives. Most recently he and Stephen Beck from Sunshine Factory participated in both the Head Down 174 way and Head Up 96 way World Records. While not in the gear, Stubbs likes to Teach AFF and video tandem skydives. He has been a jumper at Skydive City for over 20 years. He is one of the S&TA’s at Skydive City and encourages safety above all else. Walk into any busy drop zone or gear store and you’ll hear the same questions again and again: Which helmet should I buy? Do I really need a full-face? Why do these all fit so differently? For newer jumpers, helmet shopping can feel overwhelming. A helmet is often one of the first major gear purchases you’ll make—and it’s one of the most personal. The right helmet should feel natural and comfortable. The wrong one can be distracting, fatiguing, or even unsafe. At Sunshine Factory, The Owners Chris Stubbs, Rachel and Stephen Beck work with jumpers at every stage of the sport and carry helmets from the industry’s leading manufacturers. One thing becomes clear very quickly: there’s no single “best” helmet—only the one that fits you properly and how you fly.
