Fox Racing Proframe Full Face Helmet
The Enduro Standard For Good Reason (product review)
The Good:
-Excellent Ventilation for Full Face
-Chin guard does not restrict airflow
-Lighter than comparable helmets with detachable chin guards
-multiple cheekpads and helmet liner pads included for a dialed fit
-fixed visor (I like it) -price is high but standard for this kind of helmetThe Bad:
-fixed visor (if you don't like that)
Overall Review: Fox did it all right when this helmet came out. Leatt, TLD and 100% have made their own versions at this point, but they seemingly aren't any better (or better looking), especially when it comes to feel and ventilation. However, MIPS is getting a little out-of-date, and FOX has been making thi...
-price is high but standard for this kind of helmet
-helmet liner will start to separate from foam over time
-mips is starting to be replaced by more advanced motion-control systems

Fox Racing Rampage Pro Carbon Helmet
Logn-term review 2016 Fox Rampage Pro Carbon Full Face MIPS helmet (product review)
The Good:
Very comfortable & secure fit, This is the most comfortable helmet I have ever worn so far. Good air flow, the ears stay cool, and every thing else, but of course the motofoam in the front of the chin guard will, of course give less air flow, so on really hot days you might notice the extra heat, but it’s not huge difference for me. double D-ring doesn’t scratch easily. the carbon shell makes this a very durable helmet, unlike helmets with plastic shells, that dent just by hits from some small branches, the carbon shell won’t crack or dent even if the bike the back of it in a downhill fall. the inserts are easy to remove.
The Bad:
at 1100 grams the helmet is not light, but I got used to it quite fast, and it doesn’t effect me much, but a lighter helmet would be nice.
Overall Review: For pictures and more check out my review on my site: https://wp.me/p60aTF-1NL
The cheek pads/inserts wear out, they get compressed and get too thing, so the helmet will eventually wiggle,
I noticed the chin guard hitting my face. so after few months I have to swap them for new cheek pads/inserts. a better solution is needed.
After few months of use I noticed the MIPS has cracked, I noticed this after taking the helmet off, this happen only on one of the two helmets I got.
The glue failed to rubber skirting, the adhesive is not strong enough to hold it, Fox helmets had problems with this in the past. when you hold the helmet on the chin guard & you will flex the skirting in many directions which loosen it up. but of course, you can glue it back, it’s an easy job
The inner shell separates from the outer shell after 3 years of use.Posted by mtbboy1993 on 5/7/2019 2:21 AM
