Bell super dh ?

I’ve been looking at the model’s with DH certification, like the Bell Super DH, Leatt dbx 3.0 & Met parachute MCR
The newer lighter weight & well ventilated full face helmets like the fox proframe are also well worth checking out too, depending on how often you plan to need FF protection.
What is really the decider though, is which one fits your head

I am very pleased I got this helmet for use on all types of terrain, from road riding to forest roads and singletrack, etc. :
I posted this review on a recent thread:
Since March I have had the new MET Parachute MCR, and this is the review of it I wrote recently :
"It is very easy and quick to put on and take off due to the magnetic strap buckle, and the magnetic chin bar system.
It is extremely comfortable (as long as you buy the correct size and fit the correct size of check pad to fit your face), and has plenty of ventilation so it stays cool.
After a couple of minutes I almost forget I am wearing it!
What the adverts and professional reviews do not point out is that for older people with glasses and hearing aids, this helmet is extremely easy to put on and take off with these in place. In fact this is the reason I replaced my previous Met Parachute (fixed chin bar).
It is also easy to take glasses off to clean, and replace them without removing the helmet (which was difficult on my previous helmet.
The reasons for these significant improvements in convenience is that you can put on the helmet first, then the chin bar, and also the fact that there is a little bit more room between the helmet and your temples and ears than in previous models.
The only downside is the very high price, but that is probably justifiable for the high level of comfort and protection it gives you (look at the safety standards it passes compared to any other similar helmets)."
I would add that I always wear the chinbar, even on the roads, as it is so comfortable and protective, but for the reasons given above, the removable chin bar is essential to putting the helmet on and taking it off easily.

I have the Bell super DH, good helmet in both modes, nice and comfy, not to hot and comes with a gopro/helmet light attachment, recommended.

My other 2 helmets are Giro and they are exactly the same size as the Bell tighten around 6 clicks to get the right fit, my head is 59cm and use a medium and still have to tighten them all up a bit.

Been on the Super 3R now for 2 months. What a nicely built & comfortable helmet!
That Super DH is too much helmet for me but if youre doing some legit downhill then it would be proper for ya!
