The leat is currently on no1 in my book right with Airoh. Only reason I'd get a Leatt is that they're cheaper.

I'm still amazed how good this helmet looks.

I would much rather an Airoh helmet over a D3 or Fox Rampage, to much people have them... Although I do love Bell helmets.

looks expensive....tried of these $450+ full face helmets. It surely doesn't cost nearly that much to produce. the mark-up must be insane.

Not to justify the high prices, but you also pay for the development of the products, not just the production.

I use a 60eur MX full face that weighs 1.4kg.

It keep my nogging in one piece, but I'd wish it wash more ventilated and lighter.

Naw, you're mostly buying into materials cost and flashy colours.
