Dropframe Pro Mountain Bike Helmet

Many times new technology does not translate into better product. Not the case with this helmet. It's insanely light, doesn't look too bulky when wearing and is designed to protect your head much better than your typical half-shell helmet and almost as good as a full face helmet. One drawback if you could call it that is it does run one size small. I normally wear a size large for the majority of big bame manufacturers and I had to return the size large I initially ordered and exchanged for an XL. My head measures 23 inches and the XL fit like a glove right out of box. Included with helmet is different size pads that allow you to customize fit. Also of note is this helmet does not have the standard dial at the back of the helmet that allows you to tighten. To be honest, it's designed so you don't need this feature and I am quite confident it we would stay in place in the event of a crash. Being transparent, Fox's sizing chart for this model helmet is speced different than most of their other helmets and chart showed I am an XL. I we as r this helmet when riding my trail and enduro mtb's. Vents are well designed and allows plenty of airflow to keep you cool. Speaking of cool, the magnetic headstrap lock mechanism is a marked improvement over out dated clip closures.

Keeps you safe and looks good

I had just recently joined our high school mountain bike team. I bought this helmet and when I got it I couldn’t stop wearing it. It’s so comfortable and light, it does run small but it’s fantastic. On the second ride of our high school team training. I crashed on the trail and broke my left clavicle bone. I went down right on my face. The helmet did it job without a single flaw. As you can see in the pictures it’s pretty banged up. It protected my head beautifully. And afterwards I was sad to see it that way. Great helmet!! Thanks Fox’s for a wonderful experience.

This helmet is comfortable, great looking and adds some nice extra protection for your neck and ears. The magnetic buckle is a game changer. I also love how Fox sends an extra padding kit to accomodate for slight size differences. I will say that I ordered a medium first and it was very small, sent it back for a large and it fit perfectly.

Works great.

Great helmet for added protection around head. Fits snuggly so you can be sure it will stay in place when you need it. Included different size padding to custom fir to your head. Runs a bit small- id normally get a larger but had to get an XL- well worth the $$

I can't give it 5 stars as it has not saved me from any crashes, yet, but so far. so good. The padding seemed a little snug at first so I replaced them with the smaller set. Those were too roomy so I put the thicker set back on, thinking the padding would compress over time. After only 10 rides, the fit is just as snug, but I have gotten use to it and find it very secure and comfortable. The same for the weight. It felt a bit heavy at first but I quickly got use to that too. My last helmet was a light half shell, so this 3/4 shell is naturally heavier and makes more contact with my head, so I had weight and pressure that I was not use too. After a month, it feels normal now. I hope I never need to test it's crashworthiness.

Prevented a freak crash from being fatal while riding with CE level 2 pads in the pants and jacket when a cyclist cut me off while I was going 28 mph and I impacted two steel barriers. I would recommend them based on quality and comfort. Im very thankful for this helmet.

Love this helmet. It has MIPS to protect against rotational brain injury- essential on a bike helmet in my opinion. The drop side protection protects against mandibular , jaw/ear region, injury which they say is most common in mtb riding. It looks insane especially with your goggles on.
