I have that same Fly helmet, which I purchased through MxLocker, and I will say the air flow is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. It’s unreal. Such a light helmet. Emig is right, you can’t see any of the helmet when it’s on which takes a ride or two to get used to. Very strange feeling initially
6d’s Atr-3 now has a removable nose/roost guard, even safer ods system, better ventilation and comes in 4 ounces lighter. Worth reviewing one if you can
I really like the rating scale used here and the analysis. I've tried the Bell, I wear it when I'm not riding around other people because I can hear the bike bike better. It is fairly loud and comfy. Fox helmets are a nice balance of all these features, especially at the price point. I'd put Arai higher in every category except weight, and that's why I mostly wear a VX-Pro4 to this day.
I am sold on the fly helmets. I purchased one after someone I knew had a traumatic brain injury and went on the hunt for the safest helmet. He got invited out to the facility and was shown how fly was innovative and one of the safest, if not the safest on the market. After hearing that and wearing one myself and loving it I will never go back to a different brand.
@@NeopaintballofficialThat's terrible. Maybe it could have been worse in another helmet though. Did you have any prior head injuries? That's also a factor.
I bought my first fly helmet when I was 9 (first time riding) I have bought many different brand helmets but for some reason I always return to the exact one I bought 15 years ago it is by far the most comfortable It has taken massive beatings and probably shouldn’t be in service but the interior and exterior have no visual damage to the structural integrity. New helmet is on its way went with the fly formula CP can’t wait I’m sure it’s going to be just as good
@neopaintballofficial I’m sorry to hear that. It must have had to be a pretty bad accident. helmets aren’t meant to be a end all be all to accidents just more protection before the inevitable like a seatbelt anything over 70MPH your toast anyways
Great review Jeff! I chose the Alpinestars SM10, just because I found a great deal on it through MX Locker! Keep up the good work, I hope to see you at the track.
I love my AStar SM10 I like how you can change how the helmet sits on the crown in three positions you wanna wear it at. It’s very light and doesn’t feel wide like my Bell felt like. it was worth every dollar. Don’t cheap out on a helmet… actually put some money into it cause it can really help you in a long run
Great review Jeff! It would be great if reviews included the country of manufacture and also the size you are wearing, by that I mean if there are any variations in the sizing between brands
I wear the Bell and run 4 of them currently. the great thing for comfort on the Bell is you can get optional thicker cheek pads to make the fit better.
@@mxlocker Hi , I would say goggles. the reason I say that is , I never know which ones to buy. It would be nice to know how they feel and fit … also goggles are not cheap these days , so you wanna get the right pair…..
@@Motocue912that would be pretty nice I would watch it just for entertainment since I wear 100% goggles already and they are best for me but yeah Scott 100% Oakley leatt fox would be the top ones to review I would think
Good inputs in the helmets 🙏🏼 Seemed unbiased I am creature of habit and a Shoei guy for 30 years. I always have to change liners to get them to fit good
The fly formula carbon helmets are amazing. My buddy got one and I watched him take a head slam that I knew would knock me out clean in the helmet I had at the time. Didn't even have a head ache. I've had mine for awhile now and luckily haven't had to really use it yet. For me the light weight is a huge deal, no kore neck pain from hard landings.
I have a shoei and bought a after market thicker pad to lift the helmet up. My goggles push on my nose, making it hard to breath. thicker pad helped with that.
I use to wear the Bell it’s comfortable but yes it does feel like it sits a lil high. At times when I take a spill I sometimes feel like it might come off but I love the helmet I would still wear it. I recently switch to the alpine M10 and it fits my head perfectly, no movement and it’s a well breathing helmet and I love it. It comes down to preferences.
I loved the fox rs 3 but even with thin pads I bite my cheeks so tight on my jaw I sent it back sad I was worried it wouldn't break in and fit right wish I could ride in all of them too try
Great video. Crazy the Shoei scores a 5 on the liner part. I absolutely despise removing and installing the Shoei liner. Unless they've updated it very recently?
I have 3 FLY Formula Carbons. Nothing like them. Absolutely a phenomenal helmet. Don't let cheek pads be the determining factor of a helmet. You can get different thickness pads. Especially for FLY.
JEFF While Shoei helmets are considered high quality, they may not always have the best noise reduction compared to other brands like Schuberth because of a design focus on prioritizing ventilation and aerodynamic performance over absolute quietness, meaning their vents and shell shape are optimized for airflow rather than solely minimizing wind noise; however, newer Shoei models like the RF-1400 are actively working to improve noise reduction through refined aerodynamics and liner design.
Iv got the bell l use it for enduro and l like it comfort+ it's light the only thing l could knock it on is the view when looking down at the ground for hard enduro tire placement when you have to be very accurate on crazy stuff
Having tried some of these recently myself, I feel like if the Shoei fits you perfect, the Alpinstars just can't. They are so differently shaped that you would need to size up or down at one of them. However, The Shoei is so comfortable you could wear it as a all day Touring ADV Helmet. And that is something I have never sen before on a dirt helmet. (Maybe Arai to a degree) But I guess the Fly and Bell will have the best Airflow and that is so important when you need to stay focused on the trails.
They're the best in the world. Using the scale in this video, I think they'd rate fairly high in every category, except it might be the heaviest helmet, but not by much
I've ridden with the top Fly helmets for years. I want to the lightest helmet that fits me well and the Fly does it best so far. The one piece if gear I never skimp on is my helmet!!
Could you please let us know if any of these helmets have speaker cutouts? i ride in small groups, and we all run cardo packtalk communication systems in our helmets. it would be extremely helpful if helmet manufacturers could integrate the ability for customers to add speakers if so desired. i spoke with a sales manager at a local motorcycle shop where i was shopping for a dirt bike helmet and the manager said a lot of people ask to have cardo or another communication system installed into their new helmets. its kind of contradictory for helmet manufacturers to say they are making the helmets as safe as possible, and then not providing the ability for riders to add a communication system into the helmet when that is also an important safety feature (communication). teachers of how to ride actually taught us to get a communication system to improve safety when riding together, and also encouraging, not riding alone. all helmets should offer the ability to easily add a communication system (helmet speakers, such as jbl which ship with cardo packtalk pro, edge, and others) this is extremely important.
Did Emig try adjusting the "A-head" liner on the AStars? I own both the AStars (SM-8 & SM-10) & Moto 10... I personally prefer the AStars over the Bell; it's built better, priced lower and noticeably lighter 🤙🏻
Jeff, Mike from TAKA Restaurant in San Diego. I still have the signed Jersey you had Kris Kurtzmann gave me in 1997. Forever Fro! Much love, Brother!!!
Arai vx pro 4 is about 10 or 11 years old, and apart from the ventings is almost the same at vx3 wich is like 15 years old, and he said "top helmet that sells at mx looker"
Arai truthfully makes too stiff of a shell and has no energy mitigation tech. Very outdated and almost unsafe helmet. That shell will take a beating but a lot of energy gets transferred to the rider
@@stevemoores510 it’s your brain not mine so by all means wear it. All I’m saying is it’s a very aggressive shell with no tech behind it. Think of a modern car and an old steel truck. Your body will absorb less energy in a car that has proper crumple zones. I’ve seen the data brotha, time and place for a stiff shell, mx speeds aren’t motogp speeds that need it that stiff. Also a monolithic eps system doesn’t allow your head to shear from the helmet again transferring more force to YOU. This is why things like mips meds and ods exist
thats what I was wondering too... I have a VFX-WR 2019 and not planing to replace it any soon. Just amazing... And I ride a two stroke, so the noise reduction factor is for me very important. I want to hear my engine and my surroundings
@@davidlong6796 yes it is lol. It’s one the lightest, most vented, and best looking helmets lol. I have Arais, Astars, Fly, and Bells and my fav is the se5
@@jamesonclark8306 its a good helmet, but its not in the same class as these. Ive got the SE4 Carbon (among many others) and while it is very well ventilated, its just not on the same level as arai, shoei, and bell.
@@davidlong6796 se4 is not an se5 my dude lol. Se5 is carbon, weighs nothing, is super vented, has mips, and is super comfortable. That’s a top tier helmet. And unlike Fly you can adjust visor
I just looked and only took me 10 seconds to find a helmet that literally has a paint chip on it from somebody wrecking in it and now they’re trying to sell it on the app 😂
Your 9.5 is better than most especially the snell rated helmets. It was the first to gain the ECE 22.06 rating which is the best for motorcycle crashes
Arai should have been in this. I think its the best especially with the rounded nose so it doesn’t catch on the dirt and twist your neck unlike these other helmets that have big edges/indents on the nose
Did you try the M10? I feel like they changed the fit quite a bit from the 5 and 8. I would need to size up and modify the internals just to get a basic fit in it.
I am not a fan of MIPS or any other rotational absorption. A round helmet would not grab the ground like the modern ridges can today, and you can probably go a bit oversize, and wear a stocking cap to allow more rotational give. Personally, I think a round shell would work better than "MIPS in a helmet with ridges that can grab the ground".
Mips and ods allow your head to shear allowing energy to be prolonged, if it’s a sudden jolt that’s where tbi can happen. Arai with their round extremely stiff shells don’t do you any favors in the energy mitigation factor.
16:06 How do you not mention that the alpine star, you can adjust the height the helmet sits on your head . It has adjustment points to raise or lower how the helmet sits on your head. I always had an issue with helmets pushing goggles down on my nose, and Alpinestars is best helmet I've ever worn, Not mentioning those adjustments is a huge disservice to the helmet. TO ME this is game changing feature for me to dial in exactly where it sits on my head, and how goggles sit in the opening. when Jeff complained about how close it is, that plastic piece comes off for that reason. U want your goggles to fit tight so sand don't go in. I run prospects wich are the largest goggle. With no issues How can you not mention those adjustments on the A stars helmet
Test helmets yourself try pushing your finger tip into the different liners of helmets you'll see which one is softest/safest That would be the fox v3 rs the fly and Bell, the other helmets here have significantly harder liners
Snell is an outdated testing standard that was developed for car racing. Too stiff for motorcycle racing. Because of the stiffness it causes concussions. ECE 22.06 is the best rating for motorcycles
@@disciple16 I raced in the 80’s and still race into my late 50’s with a Vet club in So Cal. I’ve seen concussions in every type of helmet over the years. It all depends on the type of hit you take
