Fox V3 Helmet

[Adrian LeeMember]

Does anyone here have a V3,im looking at buying one and would appreciate some feedback.

Sorry mate, I haven`t got one of those BLING things:laugh:

They look to very trick indeed, nice touch with the Titanium D Rings & screws etc (although I don`t see that that much weight can be a big issue)Then again, Who am I to argue:S

Good Luck with the post, hope ya get some good advice & Good Luck with the purchase!!!

Haven’t got a V3 but have tried a few on and found them to be the most comfortable helmet on my noggin ever and have a pilot pro that I scored a few months back and it’s right up there too.

several V3s in a local shop for $299..

Hi Adrian,
I got a V3 helmet last year, they are good. I used to work at a local dealer and over the years tried on different helmets and found the fox to be very comfortable ( the price is not the best ), but you get what you pay for.:cheer:

Thanks gob,ive tried them on and find them to be a bit tight in the jaw/chin area.maybe my melon is a bit to big.the bloke in the shop sized me as a L but i felt more comfie in the XL.

I got mine for $350 with the carry bag and I find it very comfortable and light. There’s no doubt they’re a good helmet so I think if it fits good you can’t go wrong especially if you’re getting it on special.

Matt (my mate) raves about his. I wish I had bought one as opposed to my One Industries Kombat.

Rememebr that with any helmet they will ‘bed in’ after a bit of use and feel less tight. My helemt has bed in quite a lot and is now loose on my head

Do any OBT sponsors sell the V3 ?

[jamieMember]

Saw they are advertised in the new Ballards catalogue weighing 1.2 kg’s and last cat they were 1.3 kg anyone weighed one?

My one industries is 1.6kg was thinking 400g less around the neck has gotta be a big improvement.

Bikebiz has got them for $350 at the moment.

Only in Red, Grey/Black or Blue

I ended up buying the V3 explosion limited edition on ebay.Its coming from the states should arive anyday now.It cost me $320.00 delivered.The cheapest i could find it here was $429.

Do you Moto I have two US purchased helmets and have had some problems when racing because of the Australian compliance issues, the law states if its DOT approved it is ok but that hasn’t always worked for me. BTW DOT exceeds the AS compliance so it shouldn’t be an issue but can be go figure

KTMRAT would be the best person here on the site to answer as he is a scrutineer

I read that you had purchased the helmet overseas but didnt think you raced so didnt think it was worth raining on your excitement of a new helmet..

So enjoy

Rat can you clear up the DOT V AS issue

Thanks TB, i did do some research after the seller told me there could be an issue.But since i dont race and the only time i will be on the road is when linking from tracks i thought its a risk im willing to take.
