6D Helmet

[Lotus54]

I just picked up one of those new fancy 6D Helmets at our local friendly dealer (PA Power).

I haven't gone for a ride yet, but it feels great trying it on and with the goggles.
Certainly not cheap, but the whole idea is better protection from smaller scale hits- plus good rotational protection. Of course still excellent 'hard hit' protection.
Hitting a tree limb or something at 15mph could cause serious issues with a standard helmet. Reports are that this one is MUCH better for that sort of thing.
A buddy just got hurt pretty badly on a road race track and it really has gotten me to thinking about having maximum protection. Large and smaller impacts.

Go check them out!

SO HOWS IT FITTING? I HAVNT GOT THE 1/2 SIZE LINERS YET.

It feels great riding. Seems to cool a bit better than the Moto 9 ( which I liked a lot).
Could be a bit snigger, so that half size will be good. I think I'll get thicker cheek pads also.
Eye port is a little bigger, so goggles fit better. Plus they have a special place for the strap- works well.

Check them out!

I did a three day ride over near Entiat (Devils backbone! Tyee peak etc).
The 6D worked out great- all the other guys were checking it out.
Fortunately, I didn't need to test it the hard way.

I get interest in the helmet almost every ride.
Several people said they wanted to buy for next helmet- I suggested giving out local dealer a visit.

I (unfortunately) gave the helmet a test today. No crash, but I hit a low log HARD host I didn't even see when doing a 40 mile single track ride at Tahuya,
In the past, that would have resulted in a headache (I get them pretty easily) but absolutely no problems at all.

I'm impressed- it certainly did its job!

Go check them out (I understand more sizes now). What is your safety worth?

Iam sorry you knocked your head. But iam glad you like the new helmet.

[Lotus54]

Yeah, worth every cent.

Also, the thicker cheek pads are just right.
I like them to fit really snug and now it is just right.

Helmet still works great. Not the lightest helmet, but very comfy and not heavy at all.
I did another lighter 'test' the other day (another low limb I didnt see)- no headache or issues.

Very highly recommended!
