FOX Racing Introduces the Dropframe Helmet 5
Open face helmets continue to evolve with the extended coverage Dropframe from FOX.
This one snuck up on us, FOX has not made a lot of noise around this new helmet, but it's been spotted out in the open and appears to now be available so we thought we should let you know about it. The Dropframe looks like it is heavily based on the design of the excellent Proframe, so chances are good it will be very light and breathe exceptionally well. The look is sure to leave no one opinionless, we suspect this will be a clear case of love or hate. What do you think?
From FOX:
The Dropframe helmet is our maximum coverage trail helmet featuring ear protection and open-faced ventilation.

Wanna this, it does look nice, and probably provide best coverage from open lids.
Need to try sizings

Two thumbs up for me. Most of us have a full face that we use at downhill parks or in races. 90% of the time your riding, you use a half shell. A lot of the helmets provide minimum coverage and still leaving openings to get pretty f-ed up. Lots of people wearing the Switchblade, this not being a hybrid is more breathable. The look is wild, the open ears is what gets the reaction. Its got my attention

Not sure why someone would opt for this over a proframe helmet. I'll give it to fox though they sure know how to make helmets with polarizing looks.

I have Giro's Switchblade and ride without the chin bar a lot. I ride either when it's cool as it's a bit warmer than my half helmet (not sure this one would be) or just when I'm going to be riding some tech, but for which putting on the full face seems like overkill. If I only had one, i'd probably have the Proframe, but if I had an infinite helmet budget, I'd like both.
