It was an in-kind trade. So if you had a dirt jump helmet, you got a dirt jump helmet. I also saw a few people walking around with carbon full faces from trade ins. I didn't really stop by the booth and check it out. Lines were stupid long, but my friends got some new half lids (although they were ugly old graphics).

Yup that is the SE4. Looks like they modeled the SE4 to look more like a d3 than anything else.

looking at that video and the helmet that Mitch is wearing they look almost identical except the one he is wearing looks to have additional venting on the top.

Anybody running the smith squad mtb goggles? Wanting something green and red and these seem to fit the bill.

I think they're pretty stupid.

They dont keep dust out like regular goggles and you're SOL if you ride in contacts.

However I did order a silver chrome mirror lens and ended up with the same lens as you... but they've got a freepost address and seem to be a pretty spot on bunch!

Are this for moto or also safe for mountain biking ? Is it light as a carbon dh helmet ?
