great air flow
super light
break away visor
extra padding set
The Bad
ridge on top makes top mount helmet cam difficult
rather expensive (vs. regular helmets)
Overall Review
helmet is awesome fits perfect. Light, saves neck on long rides or multi shuttle days. visor is adjustable to increase field of vision. I would buy again and have recommended to friends.

Crankbrothers 5050 X Flat Pedal
The Good
Super grippy and STRONG pedals with pretty resilient pins. The threaded pins are nice and tall, which provides a lot of grip especially with 5.10's...the platform is nice and wide, basically the perfect shape, width, all that ergonomic business.
The Bad
Absolutely terrible bearing!!! what were they thinking? those little bastards are the smallest bearings I've ever pulled out of a pedal, only to be rivaled by Shimano DX flats. I total pain to regrease and repack...also its almost impossible to find the right size wrench to take it apart (needs to fit into the axle body). Bearing preload nut is useless! It's either loose or almost locked up. Naturally they dont stay tight and develop play within the first ride and need maintenance constantly. And to top it all off they're thick and heavy with those pointless interchangeable plates!
Overall Review
They're my favorite pedal, I'd never buy anything else but damn do they need to hire some engineers...Great performance, horrific maintenance, I hope they release those new 5050 prototypes soon because they're long overdue for an update...

Dainese Dirt Quake L/S Riding Jersey
definitely a winner
The Good
Rode this in DH, bike park and bmx track. Quality is obvious when you touch this one for the first time. Very comfortable built, light with the right mesh insert to add venting.
The Bad
not enough colors
Overall Review
Very cool jersey by the Italian brand. Different from the usual stuff on the market.

Dainese Soft Bike Back Protector
The Good
Very light, really surprised how low profile and unobstructive it was. Shapes really to the curve of the back. Their new memory foam is pretty reassuring too, definitely some high level protection.
The Bad
didn't really see anything to complain about, except that I'm not always a fan of the shoulder straps. Those stay in place though.
Overall Review
Ican't ride without when going down rooted and rocky trails.

Shimano PD-MX30 Flat Pedal
one of the best.
The Good
theres a reason why so many pros out there are still sticking with these... becos they are so comfortable and grippy. love the design too... makes it look so space age ( even though its a pedal from the 90s ).
also, if u know how to service, u can actually set how fast its gonna spin.
The Bad
comes fixed with microscopic pins and changing them into the longer ones which are supplied takes effort ( 40 pins in total ).
expensive for a pedals when theres cheaper alternatives out there.
Overall Review
the second gen of the pioneer platform pedals. amazing to see something still selling after a decade. what a classic!

The Good
It spins!!!
The Bad
Why on earth would you add extra joints to a part like a pedal body. It doesn't need them. Sure, you can customize the colors, but it also makes it heavier, thicker, and weaker. What a poor idea.
Overall Review
All the fancy packaging in the world can't make up for the fact that this is an inferior design. The spindle and bearings are the same as every other pedal on the market. The only feature setting it apart is the moronic 3 piece body. Do yourself a favor and buy 3 sets of generic pedals with that cash. They're all made in the same place.
