Anyone have any experience with Fox V2,3, or 4 helmets along with Bell Moto 8,9 as far as fitment ? I have a top of the line Shoei sz m and the face opening seems small, it pushes the goggles (Scott 89's)down on my nose. I had an older Fox V1 and the face opening seemed larger. I'm not really into spending 5 bills on a new helmet either. thanks guys

The new troy lee helmets look killer and it looks like they put a lot of thought and safety into the helmet. Ive never really been a fan of his gear but i might have to get me one of those new helmets when they come out.

I went from a Shoei to a 6D.
For my head the 6D is far superior in fit and comfort. Quality is top notch!

I've had a few concussions over the years so I'm not sparing any expense on a helmet anymore.

Airoh 2.2 ? I only say it because I'm thinking of getting one, very light, always had Arai otherwise

Shoei for 25 years and TLD the last 5 years, man his helmets are comfortable!

I tested the 6d last week. After i got blown like ten feet off the side of the monster triple at ftt with 25 plus mph winds and somehow rode it out, i decided to go ride the am track to cruise and i never had. I was trying to avoid another rider and i gooned it, came up short and highsided off the landing on to my head and a few flips and somehow slid to my feet and gave a thumbs up but i can not believe how soft a direct impact on my head was. It was amazing. Of coarse my radiatirs were hanging off and done but other than that all good. That new tld looks cool too but 6d for me.

OP, Sounds like your helmet is too big. How did you get it sized?
