Does anybody here remove the mouthgurad foam on fullfaces? I know the athertons all slightly modify their helmets by doing so.

I have it done on my aircraft, just to be slightly more breathable when climbing during races.. Cant see any drawbacks too it.. makes it easier to clean too!

Do you mean the mesh vents? It would make it easier to swallow bugs lol

Hi all. So I'm using right now Giro Cipher + TLD D3 Fiberlite. I'm also wearing glasses so I was in need for some OTG MX googles. The seller at the shop told me that Oakley O2 MX are OTG compatible so I choose them. Oakley ''OTG'' O2 MX google fit with my glasses very well. Here are some of my photos .
TLD D3 Fiberlite Mono Black Oakley O2 MX Intimidator Gunmetal Yellow

Giro Cipher in last years black/white/green colorway and Smith Fuel V2 in Pastrana Neon. I have a pair of Melon Parker's as well, but the lenses don't hold up as well or filter as well, and they actually fog up pretty bad for me. I have taken all the foam out of the side and top vents on the Smiths though, I don't have problems with dust unless it's really bad.

Love the 661 reset, was a bit nervous going CPSC instead of ASTM F1952 DH certified or I would have gotten an orange/white/tropical reset. They look almost like Samurai helmets the way they stylized the vents on the chin bar.

The reset isn't DH certified? I thought it was.

I have only found verification that it’s cpsc but I could be wrong. In this case I would actually be very happy to be wrong.

From the 661 site, I'm not sure if these certifications mean it's safe for DH

Complies to standards: CPSC, CE: 1078, AS/NZS 2064 Certification

Did you just take a knife and cut it out or is there some way to remove it cleanly? Been thinking about doing this with my D3

I’ve got a few pairs of melon goggles , started using them last year racing motocross. Good goggles with a great field of view , nice and customizable too.
