I was kind of hoping it wouldn't look so....um.. controversial. According to someone who knows someone who brings Bell in the bolt on bits are not backwards compatible to the current Super. The search continues for a convertible trail lid that doesn't look like donkey balls. Edited July 27, 2014 by Omega Man Iwan Kemp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to someone who knows someone who brings Bell in the bolt on bits are not backwards compatible to the current Super. The search continues for a convertible trail lid that doesn't look like donkey balls. I actaully think it looks kinda good... Certainly the best option out there at the moment - by a long shot.

Sanderis Posted August 7, 2014 Share fit = comfortable. ventilation = as well vented as possible. Basically test a specific model and see if you feel it meets those 2 criteria... or base your choice on other users opinions. As for weight... good heavens! 1.45kg will break your neck! I'd say you should be looking at around or less than 1000g. Not going to be cheap though (and a 100g MX lid will be even more expensive (approx R6000). That's why I mentioned the Kabuto's. The composite is 970g (lighter than many carbon lids that are twice it's price. I personally run a Troy Lee D3 (whch is probably the most popular upper end full face in the Enduro and FR and DH circles. Again, not cheap (probably looking at approx R3500-R4000 (landed) for the composite, and over R5000 (landed) for a carbon model. It's not the lightest or best vented on the market, but it is supposed to be one of the safest. (Jerome Clementz, Enduro World Champion, uses a TLD D3) On par with that are helmets like the Kabuto, Airoh Fighter, Fox Rampage Pro and the new Bell Full 9. The Bell is probably around R6000, but does come with an integrated GoPro mount which is pretty cool. But yeah, here are some options Premium Range (R3000+)TLD D3Fox Rampage ProBell Full 9Kabuto IXA-CAiroh FighterPOC CortexMedium Range (R2000 - R3000)661 RageUrge Down-O-MaticKabuto IXATHE 2Bluegrass ExplicitGiro CipherCheap and Chearfull (Under R2000)661 Comp Shifted (Good value for money).THE Point 5Bluegrass BraveFox Rampage Do you think " No Fear " have a place up here in these that you mention ?

Sanderis Posted August 7, 2014 Share Got two pair of gloves last month . These I wear everyday , very comfy and light but adequate protection .http://worldofaccessories.co.za/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/270x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/o/n/oneal-element-gloves-red.jpg I've tried these once but will keep them for the winter , simply too hot for summer use .http://worldofaccessories.co.za/media/catalog/product/cache/1/small_image/270x/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/t/h/thor_spectrum_orange_gloves.jpg The winter gloves ( Thor ) works superbly !!

Swidle also had a special R500 for Dakine Nomad with bladder, it week after i baught my pack Trying to decide between the 10L and 16L - Not sure I need the extra 6L but not much price difference so almost leaning more towards the 16L in case I ever need the extra space. Is there a big difference in size? Do you find the 16L waddling around on your back or is it pretty low profile? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a big difference in size? Do you find the 16L waddling around on your back or is it pretty low profile? I have never run out of space.... yet. in winter i usually carry my knees guards, tools, phone & extra jacket, and there is still space for more if you need. the pack is pretty long but comfortable and secure, i don't find that it moves on my back..... provided its strapped on properly. I have a friend who has the 10L and he is able to fit his knee guards and essentials in, but it looks like a tight fit in the main compartment. There is always the helmet mesh which folds up which can become a makeshift compartment is things get full. I purchased the 16L cause i already have a small pack which i could use for short rides if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already went for the 16l earlier today so I'm stoked on that! Thought I might as well go with the bigger one as price wasn't much different and I already have a smaller pack too so this'll be good for full days out.
