We're curious, what helmet is your favorite for the style of riding that you do and why?

[Stockfish]

I have Giro Switchblae Mips. Its an excellent DH/enduro helmet. Very comfortable and very strong helmet. But i want to get Troy Lee Stage. Because Giro does not have alot of air ventilation etc. Sometimes when i do alot of riding and bread alot it can tough to bread specially in the winter. I really like that troy lee design

[Couponz]

Had a 100% Aircraft 2 that I wrecked in and wasn't able to get a replacement due to it being sold out, I snagged the Giro Insurgent and I'm liking it's fit and feel more than the Aircraft 2.

I have the IXS Trigger FF and it's Amazing! Do alot of XC and Enduro with him and it's a beast! ✌

[PghMtbRides]

Totally forgot about thr Daniese linea 01
570 grams
Lke 31 vents
If you look around the new, can be had for about 180..
Magnetic chin lock

[lefty]

I ride a sweet protection halfshell for long days in the saddle, and a smith mainline for bike park and shuttle laps.

[rip.tear.]

IXS Trigger should've been on the list IMO

[amandamiller]

I absolutely love this video. Excellent pro grade quality reviews on most of the helmets we all end up narrowing down to. My only gripe as a female is that NO videos talk about the shells being dif sizes vs same and whats best for small heads. Im approx 52 cm and its just so hard to figure what will actually not be massive or loose or even bulky. I come from motorcycles and never liked modular helmets bc not tight enough.. i dont want to get a mtb helmet and end up with that issue or sizing issues etc

[sandiegojody]

I just purchased the Smith Mainline and Fox Proframe (size large / 59mm head) and would have to say the Mainline is a bit more comfortable. I did play around with the different size pads.
The MIPS system on both helmets do creak a lot. Hopefully this goes away after a few downhill rides. If not, I will return and get a non-MIPS helmet.

[JoshAllenberg]

I have a 100% aircraft and leatt enduro that I both got on sale. I really like the clicking cinch system on the enduro. The aircraft fits snug enough that I don't even use the strap and buckle

[bashaarshah]

Do all full frame helmets make noise, or just the MIPS ones?

[EGINT]

I ride motorcycles and of the ways we shop is based on our head type, which is round or oval. How come you don’t address round or oval in the video when talking about bicycle helmets? It would really help us when shopping especially online. Cheers

[saintwolfemtb]

My old DH helmet was the RPC before i had to retire it. Mine was the white NITEEYEZ color way and I broke my original visor, but, Fox didn’t have any color matched visor available, so I had to finagle an older RPC visor in black 🫤

[julo]

Fox Proframe RS vs. Bell Super Air R? What do you guys think?

[chpach]

HI guys what do you think about the POC CORON AIR MIPS I really like this helmet the fit everything decided to use a full face helmet after a fall and busted my face, I Like this helmet. What do you guys think about it?

[JIBBING_S]

Sweet Protection Arbitrator?
TSG sentinel ?

[HelplmAlive]

My park helmet is 100% Aircraft 2 and enduro helmet is Smith Mainline.

[cechichan]

[DoubleTap]

Anyone own the Endura? Looks like a good helmet

[timpriestley]

Question, what is the more bulky looking helmet out of the Specialized gambit and Smith Mainline - I mean bulky looking on the head? I'm after a slim line looking helmet that isnt too bulky on the head
