Answer recently launched their new '18 gear, and not only has new goodies to show off, but also a new Answer Racing icon and logo. Yep, veterans of the sport will recognize the nod to the triangle logo that Answer used in the late 80s and early 90s, but it has also been updated for a more modern look.
What else is new? Let's blitz through some highlights.
Answer Racing AR5 Helmet ($299.95)
By equipping their fiberglass shell helmet with a MIPS liner, the Answer crew wanted to take a big step forward in the safety and value of their AR-5 helmet. The reduction in rotational forces is something that you'll appreciate in a crash, and the $299.95 price isn't too tough to swallow, particularly since you also get features like a dual-density EPS liner, Coolmax™ technology that aids evaporative cooling, and removable/washable cheek pads and helmet liner. It also has multiple intake and exhaust ports to help flow cool air throughout the lid, and it meets or exceeds ECE 22.05 standard, as well as being DOT certified .
Answer Racing AR-3 Helmet ($169.95)
Looking for a helmet that's even more budget-conscious, but without sacrificing style and performance? That's the area the all-new Answer Racing AR-3 helmet works to cover. This polycarbonate shell helmet is DOT and ECE certified, and features an intermediate-oval shell shape and top-of-the-line Silvercool evaporative cooling material on the inside. Silvercool dries faster than non-treated materials, and as a bonus it's anti-microbial to help eliminate odors between washes. With exceptional venting, a strengthened chin bar and large eye port, the shell design accommodates most goggles.
Answer Racing AR-1 Helmet ($119.95 adult; $109.95 youth)
Answer Racing claimes that the AR-1 is their best value helmet ever, while still meeting or exceeding D.O.T. and ECE standards. It has a dual-density EPS liner helps to absorb both large and small impacts, while two intake ports and four exhaust ports help airflow. It still comes with a dual-density EPS, removable/washable liner, and a flexible rubber nosepiece.
