    So , new helmet time, ive seen these 7IDP helmets doing the rounds but ive yet to find a definitive review or someones take on them. The look like decent All Mountain hats with good coverage to rear and best of all they come in some really nice colours (well they have to match don’t they)

    I’ve got one! The bright ones really are loud.
    Very comfy and offers a lot of protection to the lower part of the back of the head. The medium is more like a large though. Luckily there’s enough adjustment to take up the slack and make it comfortable.

    Yeah got one the other month it’s a good lid

    No obvious signs of cost-cutting it’s a lot better than my Giro Feature for example. It’s a good shape light/low profile/non-dorky and there’s plenty of adjustment. Lining is plush but not quite as resilient as my Super it saturates if you sweat a lot although the straps are moisture resistant which is good. Cradle and ratchet adjuster works well. My 61 cm head is in the middle of the Xl/XXL there’s room for a buff. Neon yellow is bright to say the least and probably not for shy retiring types

    Haven’t actually ridden in mine yet but it’s pretty big (both looks-wise and internal volume-wise), I normally find large sizes a tight fit but the L/XL one of these I bought is plenty big enough, might even have got away with a medium.

    I’ve got one, fits great and the washable liner is really nice feature.

    Reviving an old thread I know, but it’s still open so what the hell. Just wondering what the shape is like on these? My heed’s of the long narrow type but many helmets seem to have got rounder over the last few years. Giros for example typically leave enough room for me to get my hand up the side of it and tight front to back. METs seem to fit ok but parabellum is expensive.
    Also has anyone noticed that it seems to be exactly the same helmet as the Fly Racing Freestone?

    I’ve a white/black one for sale, brand new never worn in box

    And yes it is just a rebranded Fly Racing Firestone, nice helmet though but I preferred my IXS

    I’m very tempted as well – been researching them for the last week – does anyone know how they size up compared to the A1? (TLD)

    My head is 63cm and there is plenty of room for it in whatever the largest size is. As I recall when I bought mine the quoted sizes suggested it wouldn’t fit, but it does, easily. Nice helmet too. My only criticism is that it’s a bit gash for an Exposure light mount, has to go on the wonk.

    Bright is a undestatement but look great just a matter of taste. ..would recommend

    They are pretty decent.

    It’s an open mould helmet! The Fly Racing Freestone is the same helmet but not as widely available in the UK for some reason.

    Cheers for the replies. Are we saying it’s roomy for its size then? It was more the shape that concerned me, it’s sounding a little bit like it might be one of those that dwarfs my skull. Think I may need to save up for a bit longer.
