Coolest wearing dirty lid

[Chippertheripper]

Which is it? My ginger ass doesn't do too well in the heat, AND. I ground a good portion of the shell of my lid down in the wrentham tubes crashing like a goon AND my bday/Father's Day is coming.

I'm guessing the contenders are the spendy ones:
The airoh aviator
Suomy mr jump
Vemar vrx9

Who's worn what??

[Paul_E_D]

I have the mr jump. I don't know if it the coolest of those three, but it is the LIGHTEST helmet I have ever put my head in. At first I thought, I don't need it that light, but after wearing it I can say light is better than cool for me! So much less neck strain and fatigue.

It ventilates well once under way, but I assume that the airoh is the coolest lid out there.

My friend from Finland says the the Airoh is popular over there for the very reason you're looking for, flows a lot of air and helps keep you cool. Second hand info of course, but I'd trust his word if I were looking.

[Chippertheripper]

Word.
Also, that klim f4 seems to garner attention for the same reason.

Walmart and 3/8 drill bit
Ok for dirt only

[Chippertheripper]

Your idea of dirt might be different than mine.
Like many of your ideas, actually...

my TLD Air breathes really well. shoulda worn it today. Paul's helmet is stupid light. like fake feeling light

[typeone]

think Klim just revamped that lid design too

[maxim_X]

So uh, deets about the off in the tunnel, dude!

[Chippertheripper]

Lol. The second tube (running the same way as the tr) was full of 4-5" rocks. Like marbles. I started to bobble, hit the side, and tried to right it without letting off...because, you can't really fall all the way over in a 6' pipe. I dragged my helmet along the side of it pretty forcefully for about 10' till I finally stopped and made it real again.
Laughing like a schoolgirl the entire way of course.

Here's a duh question. What is the difference between a motocross helmet and a dual sport helmet?

Here's a duh question. What is the difference between a motocross helmet and a dual sport helmet?

Dual sport helmets usually has a flip up shield similar to a street helmet, where MX/offroad helmets, the area is open for regular goggles. The dualsports also have a larger space between the lid and the sun visor to allow more air flow at speed

MX/offroad helmets completely suck above 50 or so MPH.

I bought a cheapie polycarb helmet. It's okay. I'm sure you could (and should) do better.

My beef is goggles. Pair I bought at random mash my glasses into my face. My vision isn't really bad enough to require the glasses. But I like riding with my prescription shades. I suppose I should just buy some tinted goggles and get used to aiming to miss those fuzzy, tall, skinny things that keep popping up in my way.

A little OT but if you want to wear glasses under goggles there are only a couple that are designed to go over glasses. Scott, Smith and Oakley do make them, quick Google search for OTG MX Goggles yielded some decent results.

I thought the box was empty when the helmet arrived. It's a little baffling how it can be so much lighter than the others, but I LOVE it.

I've got a Fly Racing Trophy Lite that I'm pleased with. It's got all the right safety stickers (SNELL and DOT). It doesn't hold heat and cools quickly after a stop.

[Chippertheripper]

Just bit the bullet and grabbed a suomy.
I forgot I had a balance in my PayPal account, and supposedly it comes with free goggles, so let the games begin.

[typeone]

sweet. which colorway? you're going to be shocked with the weight. it's freakish.

you inspired me to press BUY NOW, ordered another TLD Air (my other one is 5yrs old)

[Chippertheripper]

ORANGE. Solid orange.

[slowkermit]

Like a traffic cone?

[Chippertheripper]

I hope so.

Oakley L-frames are the only goggles I ever found that fit over glasses and didn't mash them in to my nose.

[Chippertheripper]

They make otg specific goggles. I used to use them, but no matter what, I've found they fog, either the goggle, or my glasses would ALWAYS fog up.
I hate contacts, but I wear them for riding dirties. That and playing in the Nebs is the only time I wear the things.
