There are plenty of great helmets that bring awesome tech to MX racing. This offering from Fly is definitely among them.

The latest from Shoei and Arai?
Well...uh...no.

As for the "paper bag" statement about the Leatt?
Is that implying that inexpensive helmets are junk?

How about this: go look up the test data on the TLD SE4 Polyacrylite helmet & get back to me...($150-279 @ https://shop.troyleedesigns.com/moto/helmets/helmets_se4_polyacrylite)

Listen here, "safety consultant", you go ahead and buy that piece of shit $179 helmet. I will buy something that is worth my head like a nice $700 6D or Shoei.

You're not protecting much anyways so i don't blame you for being a fucking idiot.

Ive slammed my head in helmets that cost $60 and helmets that cost $400 and have never had a concussion. Also the majority of riders both street and dirt do not spend more than $250/$300 on helmets.

The main reason i own a shoei rf1200 and now a bell moto 9 flex is because i can afford it. Otherwise a low to mid range $150-$300 helmet will suffice.

Zero comfort. Never had a football helmet that didn't give me a migraine..
