Awesome Video! Perfect timing as I've been researching for the best full face helmet and I love the Kali (XL) design and I was very happy to see it on your list of selections with the pros and cons! I think it's well suited for my style, I'm mostly XC riding with my Trek Fuel Ex 8 in Arizona, but I'm certainly becoming more aggressive in my riding and enjoying the speed of going downhill... This is a great start to see this episode on Loam Wolf with very helpful and excellent informative details from professional riders opinions! Thanks 👍 and looking forward to knowing when the winner will be announced!!!! Wish me luck 🤞

@@cianmellerick177 I actually got a POC helmet in Pink :D

I'll take a double D-ring strap over FidLock on a full face any day of the week! So much easier to get on/off and adjust a DD.! You guys really need to learn how to use DD! Fidlock always slips and has to be readjusted which is really annoying. DD gets set and stays, its also a lot faster to get on and off compared to FidLock, just pull the release-strap until the button on the end of the strap, hold the strap with the thumbs against the chin guard as you pull the helmet off. to put the helmet on, hold the strap with your thumbs at the chin guard, put the helmet on, pull on the strap to secure. Done! No fiddeling or readjusting! Yes, Fidlock is to put on, but it's allways a lot of fiddeling around to get the strap the right length and the lock itself always gets into the middle of the throat which is annoying (DD stays on the side) and if you ride with a jacket with a zipper, the magnet connects to the zipper. Aaaargh! Extra rubber bands and stuff doesn't prevent adjustment sag on FidLock ieither and makes adjusting even more fiddely! (Yes, I have helmets with both closure systems)

I've just started riding downhill stuff and I've definitely in need of a full face ! And I'm in 40s so saftey is on my mind a lot

Coming from motorcycle world, Double D loop is one of the best things for adjust ability where you easily lose focus if something doesn't fit perfectly. The only issue is if you crash, it can be harder to remove, this is my only concern!

Yeah, and also the strongest and most reliable.

Our family tried downhill for the first time this year.... in our trail helmets. We’ve been looking into what we want for full face ever since. This video was really helpful as the proframe and trigger are helmets that we are interested in. Our 5 year old son wears a full face helmet almost exclusively just because he “thinks it’s cool” which is fine by us.

When I was younger I got a full face exactly for that reason, it comes with it's cons but it's very protective.

I ride the TLD Stage and I love it. It's light, stylish and has that adjustable visor. 10/10 so far.

Glad to hear it since I just bought one at my lbs. Was going to buy the ixs online but my lbs had it and I liked it right away.

I'm 39yrs old, new to mountain biking but love speed and gravity. Commute on an enduro 160 emtb. Often doing stuff that I know could result in nasty injury should I fall. Still wearing an open trail helmet because of pedalability, looking to go full face. Super useful video thanks!!!!

I’m curious why head shape (round vs. oval) isn’t generally recognized with MTB helmets. That’s a huge factor for overall fit and comfort with a helmet.

Absolutely love the Stage and wear it everywhere. Only fault Ive found after 300 miles is occasionally the visor screws work their way loose. Wouldn't hurt to have another for the lady

I've just recently came across Kali and really like what they're doing with tech, pricing, & the whole crash replacement policy. Love a lot of their matte colorways too!

Great comparison! As a fairly new rider, I’ve been looking into this style helmet for general trail riding. Even the basic trails here in Kentucky have some pretty steep and rocky terrain that would crack your head open in a hurry if you go off of the trail.

Was recently in a pretty bad accident that made me aware of how ridiculously vulnerable and exposed our faces are when riding on pretty much any style bike. Appreciate the review and looking forward to the expanding market of full face helmets. Think the direction Kali is heading in could be a great option for multiple situations including commuting, but definitely would need something more like smith for trail and DH. Thx again for the information.

The Kali looks interesting for some of my type of rides.

Love the full face for trying new trails, features and general safety

I currently own the 7IDP Project 23. Great helmet, great fit (size M). I took a very hard digger over the bars while riding pikes peak, and this helmet absolutely did it’s job the way it’s supposed to. I cracked the helmet on a hard rock surface. I reached out to 7IDP about my helmet. They offer a crash replacement program so long as you send your old one back. Great customer service and prompt. Being this company is based out of Aurora, Colorado and I’m a Colorado native I always gotta show love to local business! If you have any doubts about a helmet go with a 7IDP! Exceptional!

For long pedal days I would agree with taking the Smith, looks great

Right on guys! Love the videos. Keep them coming! I ride the Fox proframe, love that helmet.

Perfect timing! I've been looking into full face helmets recently.

The proframe and kali look sweet and really help with deciding on going full face!

I used to have a small head, but after watching some of your videos I think it got way bigger :) Lots of knowledge, thanks!

Great review! My wife wants to switch to a full face, full time. So this review is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Thanks for the review. Been looking at this category and this is super helpful. 👊

I decided on the 8th of October that I need a full face helmet. Right after I had my front wheel slipped out, mid high speed corner when I rolled over a painted line. I poked a hole through my lip with the tooth I broke, fractured my jaw, gave myself a decent amount of road rash, some temporary memory loss, misaligned my neck, and mechanically tore my calf muscle with a pedal. Turns out it's not a plesant thing to whip your face into the ground then slide a foot or two with adequit pressure. Destroyed the only pair of Oakley sunglasses I will ever own, as I am now disabled from a serious car wreck 20 years ago, but I'm glad it was them and not my eyeball. Helmets are important if your gonna be wild. Especially when you've got a big melon like me haha. Thanks for the vid, I was in the market for one. Cheers

I have a young daughter with a big head. I chose the IXS trigger and the Kali Invader 2.0 bc it's 2 of the lightest and most ventilation. The Kali has more ventilation than the IXS, and feels lighter. The IXS does feel sturdier but the padding is thicker thus harder to put on and slightly warmer. I really like the quality of the IXS, but the Kali is the go to helmet 80% of the time.

Great review, I been looking into full face helmets much appreciated.

Looks like the IXS will be one I’ll definitely look for in the future!

man finally found the perfect vid for what i wanted to know... Thanx so much guys!!!!!

Thanks for the nice comparison! Def liking the maximum ventilation of the Kali from your description! Adjustable IXS seems practical as well, just wish they have different color options.

Great job guys!

I recently purchased the Fox Proframe to wear in San Antonio, TX. I have a pretty large noggin and the XL is just a tad small. I love the ventilation and the FidLok is a life changer. The extra protection of the MIPS gives me and the wifey piece-of-mind while I ride the trails around here. I like the idea of an adjustable headgear, but I’ve grown to live w the smidge tightness of the XL Fox. Good video!!

i love the the proframe, light well vented an my diablo googles fit perfectly

Awesome video! I have been in the market to do more enduro style riding. Guys did a great job of informing me about the pros and cons of each helmet before I make a decision.

All of these helmets look good! Thanks for the helpful video!🤘

Just bought the mainline with matching goggles. Can't wait to try it out!

Awesome review on the helmets! Thanks for the info.

That Kali review was the most polite and PC way to describe what we were all thinking 😂 - "screams sunglasses and full face" "older demographic who wants to protect their pearly whites while riding green trails"

Definitely getting a full face helmet for the next season! Thank you for these informative reviews. It really helps to figure out what kind of a helmet should you get. Hope I’ll win!

Thanks for the review on the helmet's! I've rode with the Met Parachute for several years now and was in the market for a new helmet. I was sad to see that they changed their design and went with a removable chin bar and also made the chin bar longer. It was and is a great helmet for it's time. The IXS looks interesting and thanks for the discount code! Always enjoy the reviews!

Dope video! Really digging the work you all are doing!
