> 24 hourIts been a long time since I bought a dirt-bike helmet, but it seems like this one was not much more expensive than the Answer A-Tech I bought back in the mid-80s. Its certainly far more comfortable, though, and lighter. The only thing that takes getting used to is the visor tends to move up and down while riding, especially when the wind catches it at higher speeds. It may just be that the visor screws need to be tightened up a little, but the old helmets (with snap on visors) never had this issue.

> 24 hourMy head circumference is 63cm as far as I can tell which is 7-7/8 to 8 hat size. I tried a 2XL helmet. I could get it on my head, but it was too small. The 3XL fits better. I use it for BMX. I was concerned that the mouth guard would block my view, but it doesnt. The visor is fine, but I have to tighten the plastic screws to hold it in place. The carrying bag is nice. I wear glasses, and I cant put the helmet on or off without removing my glasses. Also when the helmet is on, there is a little side pressure on the side pieces of the glasses. It hasnt caused any problems not did my glasses move out of place. The helmet doesnt feel too heavy. Its working out fine for BMX. My 2 youngest sons also have very large head circumference about 98-99 percentile. My 4 year old already measures for a medium adult size.

> 24 hourThe fit is good, you get some road noise over 60 mph, but it has great air flow on a hot day.

> 24 hourIve been wearing my Bell MX9 Adventure Helmet for a month and I am very happy with it. It is very comfy, feels sturdy, and has great ventilation even in 100-degree weather. I have no regrets about this purchase. It looks awesome too

> 24 hourBought and returned a few helmets in the last week and this model is correct for their sizing chart. All other brands were way too small and they didnt even make something big enough as a replacement. I purchased a XXXL and it was perfect for a 24.5 head, hope this helps.

> 24 hourTitle says it all honestly. Use it on the MX track, if you have a Kawasaki like I do or just like green and monster this is the helmet for you.

> 24 hourFor the price I don’t think you’ll find a lighter more comfortable helmet. I missed the boat on the older fly f2 carbon helmets that were a decent price but almost impossible to find anymore except in XS or XXXL. Had one good wreck with it so far and walked away unscathed as far as my head goes. Highly recommend for a budget friendly light carbon helmet that looks good too.

> 24 hourI chose this helmet because I have seen this brand in F1, I have tried TLD before and they both have similar features, but I chose this one because I thought the MIPS technology was great and I personally liked the case and the multiple colors. Everything is fine and I am happy with it.
