I got my troy lee helmet for 50% off. I find the fit is amazing, they really protect the chin well when compared to other full-face helmets. Has annyone else noticed this?



Eric,

i have the 661 pro bravo carbon it is super light and looks pretty sick too and fits like a dream

I'm with ya on that. I ride the 661 pro bravo carbon as well, it's been a great helmet, light, fits great, and I think it's one of the better looking on the market. It's not a TLD carbon, but it's also a 1/3 of the price.

TLD are like the Ferarri's in the biking world. Frickin amazing! I also got mine for 50% off, it came to about $125. And it's the open face which gives me alot for ventilation for the less big hit riding, use it more for rippin around and local riding(bit of jumps,DH, all round riding). Best helmet for the price and truely UNIQUE!

IMO anybody under 18 with a tld helmet may as well have a big 'rich kid here' sign on their head, they are just shiney fashion statements[/Quote]

are you kidding me? have you heard of getting a job and working for your own shit. i own a tld helmet and im 17.

Just my 2 cents but does anyone else think your hearing is almost blocked out when you wear one?

super light carbon fiber. extremely comfortable, doesnt even feel like you are wearing a helmet. excellent protection and the best graphics in the business.I got mine on closeout for $270, couldnt be happier, bust investment ever.

Theres nothing like a troy lee helmet, that says pro...

What's the deal? Why are they such a popular helmet even for the bloody price. I have a giro remedy that seems sweet enough for me.





P.S personally i don't have enough money to get one that's why i'm bitching.
I like Giro Remedys way better, I find troy lees face gaurd to close to your face...
