Pedal-friendly full face helmets are a concept first introduce many years ago with the first Giro Switchblade. With the progression of enduro bikes, eMTBs and riders pushing faster and harder than ever, the enduro helmet or lightweight full face helmet category has been on fire, and we like it. We’ve spent lots of time in many of these helmets over the last couple years and wanted to put this roundup together to showcase a few helmets that we think are worth checking out. We have found ourselves opting for these lightweight full face helmets below for our long eMTB days, aggressive enduro rides, epic backcountry shuttles, or when we’re just looking for an extra bit of warmth on cooler winter rides.

I’ve been riding mtb for about 3 years now and I’ve just started to do serious jumps, I should need to buy a better helmet now but the nice ones are just so expensive. Anyway I subscribed and I would love to win one!

I NEED A FULL FACE HELMET BAD!!!I know it's a great investment but the cost is what holds be back ,which then holds my riding back!!

@vg1979 3 года назад

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 🤞

@Mulli9anStew 3 года назад

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.

@jamesrodbassfishing6957 3 года назад

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

@JD-dj8mh 3 года назад

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!

@HarryKuloh 3 года назад

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

@1290cougar1290 3 года назад

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.

@FireLysm 2 года назад

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!

@happygiraffe9787 2 года назад

Yeah, and also the strongest and most reliable.

@joeletait 3 года назад

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!!!!

@ShuasiBjorlen 3 года назад

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.

@rucksackstosingletracks2628 3 года назад

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.

@kokopellione 2 года назад

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

@megatryn 3 года назад

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)

@footballfan1639 3 года назад

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

@dougbrandt2275 3 года назад

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

@JoshStreetDesign 3 года назад

totally agree, I have 3 of them. Compared to my $700 Fly Formula Carbon and Fox V3 MX helmets, it's practically like not even wearing a helmet. LOL

@blombardo83 2 года назад

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.

@nicmggixxer 3 года назад

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!

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

@lanecopelin6015 3 года назад

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!!

@dylanandersonmtb7341 3 года назад

Started loving these videos lately because of how relatable you make them, I was thinking of getting a smith mainline when I need a new full face after drew helped convince me to get a new set of smith squad xl goggles and I would love to have that size small tld stage because it would help me wear a full face more often

@cassysamel3914 2 года назад

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.

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!

@Slinkylinky179 3 года назад

I'm definitely on the aggressive trail riding spectrum moreso so I've been interested in the kali or ixs. Hard to justify when I'm realistically not somewhere with long descents and I have a helmet that technically works fine. Full face would definitely feel more secure though

@LuisBazan 3 года назад

I’ve been looking at buying that Kali. Thanks for the breakdown

@k.fritzlehr4552 3 года назад

I started wearing a MET Parachute full face helmet for trail/XC. Biggest issue I have with it is exhaling while moving at an XC pace and it is a little hot above 80F. When you exhale at low speeds the hot air blows back in your face giving a heating suffocating feeling, but I may give the KALI a try. Airway looks a little more open and may work a little better.

The Troy Lee has one called "Born From Paint" and it looks just super cool (fashion-wise, not vent-wise), but the Kali is functionally more what I need. Hawaii is warm and humid so we need max ventilation more than fashion. But dang, that TLD in Marine Born from paint....COOL

@phenoge 2 года назад

had a very close call after my front end washed out (bloody lip and gravel in my mouth - thought I knocked a tooth out for a minute). Actually getting some unrelated dental work done next week so that minor crash was a wake-up call. REI still carries the Smith Mainline - I don't mind the D-rings at all. In fact I prefer it. Have put on 20k+ miles commuting on my motorcycle over the last 3 years -- D-rings are the most secure.
