Last week Troy Lee Designs launched its new open face trail helmet complete with impressive list of features. Andi has had one on his head for a few weeks now and you can get his first impression thoughts right here..
This week Chipps caught up with the man behind the design, Craig Glaspell AKA Stikman. There’s certainly more going on with helmet technology these days than at least we realised as you will come to learn in this fascinating podcast episode.
Stikman in action!

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
Good insight into the TLD brand. Recommended. The A3 sounds / looks like one of the best half shelf helmets.
shell !!
