🚲 Troy Lee Designs D3 Fiberlite US Mono Helmet Review

I ride this helmet when the ground is frozen in Minnesota or when I'm about to ride very aggressively on mountain bike trails as I've had bad crashes in the past and it makes sense be active in security. It's no different than my other high-end mountain bike helmets that I wear during the summer months, although I feel much safer in this helmet.

The only disappointment was that the balaclava kept coming out of the back of the helmet and had to be constantly tucked back into the shell. Email sent to TLD to see if this is common with this series, no response. Disappointing. The return began, but the new helmet did not have time to make the state race. It's light and has great graphics. In the summer it was hot, there was nothing to breathe. I use it as a replacement or bail.

For use in bike parks, mostly riding on blue trails. I'm 41 and trying to get to work the next day so I wasn't trying to jump 20 feet with cool technique and lightness/ventilation/comfort were my main concerns. I hope I won't put it to the test but I'm sure for what I do it will be strong enough to protect my head from serious injury. It has no MIPS. So if you ride black trails I would recommend spending the extra $50-$100. I had to buy all my gear (knee/elbow pads, pants etc) so I had to stay…
