 Hoping the composite Rampage stays at ~$120. That is a great helmet at a decent price. Can live w/out the extra screen windows.

 Looking forward to seeing the new lid in the flesh. My V3R is the best fitting lid I've tried but regularly cooks my head, so hope the new ones vents work well! Price is pretty steep though.

 anyone know if the new helmet is DOT approved?
  • + 2
flag dhiller661 (Sep 24, 2012 at 19:39)
 Its doubtful on the DOT stamp. Its a carbon DH specific helmet, gonna have to look in the moto lineup. All the other rampage helmets in the past are pretty much bike specific so they arent looking to get them approved for moto use, extra $$ and weight.

 Tell ya right now- GoreTex is a 30 year old tech. There are better fabrics out there that you don't have to be wet for it to breath (that is how GoreTex works) I have no idea what fabrics FOX is using- but the bike industry needs to get with the times. And guys- these fabrics to not come cheap. A garbage bag can keep you dry but do you want to wear it. Any company that uses GoreTex is out of date !
  • + 1
flag deli-hustler (Sep 24, 2012 at 11:31)
 Which GoreTex are you on about? The Membrane or the Laminates?
Which waterproof do you like Sgt? I find the Gore alright but much prefer Paramo's Analogy fabric for staying very dry.

flag SgtMooseHead (Sep 24, 2012 at 11:55)
 I'm a fan right now with Omni-Dry by Columbia. Ultra Breatable- Ultra Waterproof. The tests I've seen and with the awards they are winning. This is the best out there. And they work hard to price inovated products at a fare prices. Not to mention I do not like some of the biz practices of Gore-Tex. They show all the same fabrics (incuding colors) to many brands and in return the market place has become a sea of sameness. They also do not allow brands to use other compies tech if the want to use Gore-Tex products. In return cunsumers are not getting the chance to buy the best of the best out there- shame on them and shame on the idustry to allow this to happen. Sorry for the rant

 The bike industry seems to have forgotten that we are in the middle of a recession. $230 for a rain jacket is ludacris.

 You guys have no idea what it takes to bring a product to the market place. Good luck getting a jacket made in China for $8- do you even know what is going on in the world. China workers are protesting for a higher min. wage and they are getting it. If you think there are little kids sewing jacketsi a dark factory in Chyina and the companie are just pocketing the cheap labor cost- again you have no idea. Everybody wants "inovation"- Keep Me Dryer, More Pockets, Make it Lighter ..... - but no one wants to pay for it. If you want a cheap price on a water proof jacket thengo to your local store and buy yourself a garbage bag- that will keep you dry!

 a ridiculous amount of the price is for colours and the name

flag paddlerpete (Sep 24, 2012 at 14:34)
 Price in many cases is what the company thinks it can get, standard mark up on clothing for stores is 50% so jacket costs the stores $115 so companies profit has to come from that. Staff can prodeal kit for 25-30% off wholesale so that $230 jacket probably costs fox $40-50 if that.

 Fox forgot to mention the safety rating of the helmet. What is it? (Full Moto Snell M2005 or DOT level or a lame non-DH worthy Bike Standard Test). Slightly important factor missing...
