Mellow Yellow Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Anybody have experience with the RED MT-1 carbon helmet. It has skeleton or bone stickers on it. Any info or pics of this helmet would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I bought a navy blue one at the Burton factory shop in July for $70. It has what looks to be dinosaur teeth all around the front opening - like jaws. I comes with a black plastic visor across the top, but I would guess that lasts for a day or two, then is gone. Goggles fit nicely inside. I tried one out last season, and really liked it, and i'm just trying to protect myself from my own foolishness.

Mellow Yellow Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Does it happen to have a goggle strap on the back?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pm_wizard Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It has a soft rubber cushion with ribs, but no actual strap. I have some old helmets around, and I was pondering cutting a retaining strap off one. The back of the helmet does have a "channel" that the strap would fit along, but if you fell there would be nothing to hold it on.

Bordy Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I used to run the MT-1 with and with out the jaw peice and have lost goggles going over the bars in deep snow but never on grommers ( you can usaly find them but they may come off). I had a narly roll over some rocks at snow basin and but a whole in it(but not my head. After lots of looking I moved into a Giro nine with the head phone and have never been happier the giro may not be as long term durable but is way lighter and much more comfy. 90% of people I knoe have and love this lid. It can crack if droped from just a few feet however. I rocked mine for the last month of the season last year and loved it! Goggles with a rubber bead like spys and Von zippers stayed on my MT-1 better, some of my bros have put silicon on their straps for better grip.

Mellow Yellow Posted September 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 thanks for the silicon idea, my current lid doesn't have a strap retainer eithere... I'll have to try that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
