My combo: Giro Cipher Black + Oakley Airbrake MX Factory B1B (Clear Dual Lens)

I've tried to find that strap as a stand alone piece to buy since I saw it the first time, but can't seem to locate it. Also, I've only used the single pane lenses, how do you like the dual?


On winter days it's perfect because it does not fog, but for the Greek summer I change to the single black lens it came...though this summer I ain't gonna ride at all, cause I'm serving in the Greek army.

Nice man I like the colour of the helmet, don't rate the goggles but it's personal preferences. Nice setup

Just bought this new '14 rampage pro for $200 and the oakley's have lasted me 5 years so I'll continue to sport them. I'll probably be rocking my glasses most of them though.

I got the same deal, figured the XL would fit well but it's too large!! Have to send it back now. The visor was a different white to the shell on mine...the visor was polar white and the shell was more of an off white almost cream. It doesn't appear to be the same on yours? It bugged me, but I was going to compromise because: cheap, but the fit made me re-consider.

Enjoy, looks rad

Anyone here run a bell transfer 9 with a leatt 5.5 brace? I want to get a brace but am worried about not having a full range of motion because I ride very low and head up. The helmet is a medium, and the brace would be a JR size.

Atlas Air-- Far better range of motion IMO after owning both a Leatt and the Atlas

the Atlas doesn't have adjustments, and doesn't fit good on my head

Neck braces don't go on your head... But anyways the Atlas's are quite adjustable, you can flip the smart mounts or pivots for the back supports and they have three different angles at which you can put the back supports for each of the two positions you can put the smart mounts at.

atlas braces suck unless you have a stumpy neck. when I had one, I could tilt my head back and and go straight over the back of the brace. (The atlas guys set it up too)

Just get a leatt.
