BBMX Weekly Product Review - 4/3/08

- SixSixOne Flight Helmet -

Fresh from the BBMX web sight is a new concept that will feature the products that the race team uses from its sponsors. To kick off the first version we stopped in with SixSixOne to check out the lids that keep the DNA / BTOSports / BBMX riders safe.

The SixSixOne Flight helmet is one of the leading helmets on the market today. The lid comes in several different colors and two different design schemes, the Icon and the Warp. Shown here, we have the 08' Flight Icon helmets followed by all the detailed facts that make this helmet one of the best on the market:



Deluxe Snell M2005 & Dot Approved Moto Style Helmet

* Sizes XS - XXL
* Exceeds Snell M2005 and DOT helmet safety standards.
* Kevlar®, Carbon Fiber and fiberglass composite shell.
* Dual rear exhaust vents release heat and allow moisture to escape.
* Wrap around strap groove prevents goggles from slipping.
* Adjustable visor with oversized mounting hardware.
* Removable, washable Savoie® fabric lining and cheek padding.
* EPS foam liner conforms to your shape for a perfect fit.
* Contoured rubber nose guard offers additional roost protection.
* Triple front air intakes bring in fresh cooling air.
* Soft Savoie® fabric covered strap offers chafe-free comfort.
* Cheek pads XXS-MD for use in XS-MD helmets only. Check pads LG-XL for use in LG-XXL helmets only.

Now, all these facts make the SixSixOne Flight helmet one of the safest on the market. But what about that overall feel and rider testing? This is where we check in with BBMX team rider Jason Thomas for a comment on the helmets. "I have been racing pro since 1997 now and have worn just about every helmet there is to wear. The past two seasons we have been in the SixSixOne Flight helmet and I must say it is one of the best all around lids I have ever worn. From the fit, to the light weight feeling, it is just one of those helmets that becomes a part of you right away and you never think twice once you put it on. I strongly recommend this helmet to an skill level rider", says JT.
