    New Helmet (that´s compatible with A-Frames)

    Okay. Looking for a new noggin protector.The old one have been so abused already...

    Since i have my goggles that i dont want to part of, im trying to get a helmet
    that fits around them (and my head.).

    A-Frame users, what helmet´s are you using?
    Getting the GaperGap?

    The old helmet is Acerbis Razor, but this years models look like shite with the
    new graphics and ventilation system.

    Some that i have been considering was Giro Ravine( production ended?) and Sweet Trooper or Rooster ( expensive...)

    What other low volume,low profile helmets are there?

    ProTech?

    The Reds dont fit cause the very "high" profile. Looks like i would have a hydrochephalus..

    Ps. A picture would be nice...

    The floggings will continue until morale improves.

    I have a Boeri Myto Air size Large, that I use with my A-Frames. Works like a CHAMP! No gaper gap, just see:

    You see, in this world there's two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

    I have a giro 9 small - works with A-frames. Gaper gap is not acceptable.
    Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn.

    Ermmm... Yes.For me.
    But the missus want to have some intellect conversation after i return from my extremo missions.

    And thanks.

    Giro 9 have some problems with my head.I tried it and..gasp.. i got the gaper.

    I tried the boeri too (thanks rune!) but my head looked like i had a donught under my helmet. Otherwise it was a good fit, (And Rune, no i dont suggest that your head looks bad with it. You,Stöklis and Midi looks always good)

    Shite, this is like trying to buy condom from the intrenet.

    I've had mucho trouble making A-Frames work with any helmet. They work ok with my Giro Nine, but it's those damn vents on the top that keep from making a really good seal. Did you try any K2's?

    I wear A-Frames with a Giro Nine plus I have the helmet strap. The strap is nice -- silicon on the back to stick to the helmet, relocated mounting point to clear the helmet, but the strap is short. It's fully extended on my medium sized helmet.
    If you have a problem & think that someone else is going to solve it for you then you have two problems.

    My wife uses A-Frames with a Giro Fuse sans gomer gap. She bought the helmet strap then returned it because it was shorter than the stock strap.

    I use the K2 Clutch helmet with my A-frames. No gap. I dig it.

    And backcountry has it for like 34 bucks right now.
