I was really disappointed the Fly Formula didn’t work out.  It pushed my 100% googles down on my nose, kinda hard to breathe.  I don’t breathe all that good through my nose to start with.  It was like it was to deep in the crown for lack of better terms.  Another guy at the track said his son had the same problem with Fly helmets.

I get the two I ordered sent back, credited and look for a Bell or 6D on closeout after Christmas.  I’m in no hurry.

I had the same problem with an XL, what googles are you running?

Most of the time 100 %.  I have a pair with tinted and a pair with clear lens, not the same model but same size.  I also have two pair of Fox and two pair of Leatt.  Didn’t try the helmet on with either of those.  My guess same problem. I prefer 100%.

I don’t do real good with my new Fly Formula.  I left the tags on it, suited up ready to side and it sets way to far down and smashes goggles against my nose.  Made it hard to breathe.  Put it back in the box, going to sent the XL back too.  Probably  buy a new lightweight Bell.  I’ll get on line when I get back from the track and find me another helmet from motorcycle closeout.  

I had the same problem with it. I compared it to my A-star and my old Leatt and found the back on the Fly comes down further than the others and hit my lower neck/upper back when in the attack position pushing it down. It's an awesome helmet. I just wish it would fit me better.

First ride day on the new lid was awesome! It's so comfy to ride in. I like the liner way better than 6D and Shoei. I can't believe how light it is too. I guess I've never had a carbon fiber helmet before, or any carbon gear or parts. I'm really stoked on this helmet.
