Yep, ALWAYS.

It keeps the dust off them and you can wipe the tearoff and when it gets scratched you just pull it off and replace it.

I was just thinking about doing this. I have never had any tear offs and now that I'm getting them with the goggles ill be taking that into account

This new Rampage Pro is bad. I love the low profile look. More candy:

Hows the fit on that?? I was thinking about picking one up and selling my d3 for it. The large D3 was too small and the XL I got is a little too big, So I was gonna check out the Nema to see if the fit was any better.

I tried but the space between the visor bolt and the lip of the helmet was too small? :/

Reg. the Nema Player sizing, Im xl in the D3 and a pretty snug fit with a L Player. Nema/Kabuto has a slimmer profile, thats why I like the looks of those... I emailed the yurp distributor and it totals around $380-400 for a composite Kabuto shipped to the US Blank Stare I can get a compo. D3 for less than $300 any day. Just sucks coz I love the OGK colors.

Yeah the large D3 I had originally pinched the top of my head in the back, just in like one spot. I'm waiting for the carbon Nema helmet to come out, or a re-release of the composite, hopefully in some new color ways. I want to try them both for sizing purposes. I feel that even with a thicker set of cheek pads in my D3 it won't fit exactly the way it should. I would definitely sacrifice the D3 for a properly fitting helmet. I guess I'll just have to wait and see. Fox Rampage Pro is also looking pretty tasty.
