Initial impressions are good. It's crazy light. like claimed 950g+-50g for my medium. Almost 200g lighter than my rampage pro (claimed 1145g) and it's DOT approved.

I had the red one from last year, and it was great. Fits snug without being uncomfortable. I know there are other options that are considerably lighter, but honestly, I don't notice the weight at all. I'm sure if I had to wear it for an extended period of time, I might notice it, but I'll have it on for a few runs then off it comes to hang out.

The fact that I had a substantial crash with a head first impact, and zero injuries to show for it, I figured I'd stick the same helmet.

New helmet is on the way i went for the dissident comp again but i went for the MX Orange/Neon Blue Tracer model,to top things off a matching Melon Parker MX goggle with a Silver Chrome lens which is going to be shipped soon.

Just saw the news, Mirra had CTE. Explains so much, but it's still heartbreaking. RIP.

Although I knew that would be the case, it still hits me hard. I just want to do something to prevent this from happening ever again and to spread the awareness of minding your head. When I had my first concussion my parents wouldn't bring me to a doctor because their thinking was "what can a doctor do?". Which is a good point. You can't physically mend a brain back together like you can with bones or skin, but just the same you can't physically see it damaged. The article written on Pinkbike a while ago on brain injuries was fantastic, if only it was preached more.

Sorry for the rant, but I think it's sickening where a rider is hailed a hero after carrying on with his/her run after hitting their head, and in reality it could have been one hit too many and they could have suicidal/murderous intentions the next morning.

Again I'm sorry for the rant but it just annoys me how tough everyone has to act when it comes to serious sh*t like this.
