Just in case anyone is wondering, full-face helmets (and in fact all non-DOT helmets) are only tested and approved for SPEEDS UP TO 20mph... unless clearly stated otherwise. This is particularly helpful info for Ebike riders and those with scooters.

You're going to bake in those Mongoose helmets. No top ventilation at all. Ten air vents just isn't going to cut it. I'll be interested in seeing your follow-up video after you wear it in that Alabama heat.

Beautiful Mongoose full face helmets. I love the orange and gray one a lot. Now we need a Schwinn full face helmet to go perfect with Aluminum Comp, Boundary, Taff and Axum! 👍👍

I have rode on 2 wheelers since I was 4. Got my first motorcycle at 7. I’ve had a total 27 different motorcycles since, some street, some dirt, some Enduro. I lived in So Cal with my only transportation being a motorcycle. Traveled across America on a motorcycle. Rode BMX as a kit in the 80’s. So I have worn helmets my whole life and have worn them so much, when don’t have one on and I am on a bike/trike or even a go kart I feel strange. I have sold all my motorcycles but still have 4 helmets LOL. Helmets that fit right will improve your ride on a motorcycle, probably a ebike too….they reduce wind noise and that reduces rider fatigue and improves rider awareness. For riding Bicycles and Ebikes, I wear a Fox Drop Frame Pro. It’s not a full face, but it does have more coverage than a half shell and it does not have a cheap plastic buckle. I understand budgets and would rather someone where a helmet than not, but please spend money on a really good helmet. One bad head injury will change your life or end it, and it does not require speed for it to happen. Also, little kids that see adults with helmets will want to wear helmets too. Full face or open face….the more coverage you have, the better you are protected. It’s that simple… My Fox is a great helmet for me with MIPS, I do not race and mostly just ride in town. I NEVER ride without a helmet. If I ride down my driveway, I wear a helmet. Great video Kev

Will be getting the black one. Good job on the video!!

They look really good. Usually I would prefer the black on black, but that orange really pops!

Definitely not the worst helmet but if you are going for a full face or any helmet at all you should get a good one. As my dad would say a five dollar helmet is great when you only have a five dollar head. Don’t cheap out on safety

That’s nice Kev! We both suffer from the dirty south heat! Just south of Meridian,MS myself!

They look great. I have the bell helmet from academy sports around $70. It looks very much like those with just flat black paint. The bell actually is dot approved.

Thanks for sharing this with us

Ordered grey and orange. thanks for the link.

My go to brand for helmets is fly racing. Great quality for the price.

Just FYI: A lot of fullface (MX) helmets have only 1 or maybe 2 shell sizes and the padding dictates the size for head fit. They might have a xsmall -> medium shell and then large -> xlarge shell. The more padding the smaller the helmet size. Which is a lot of kids helmets look huge. But they have a lot of extra padding. :) Anyways, Once I found this out, I resized my MX helmet by simply ordering a smaller size liner. But, that is probably why the removable padding is labeled with the size. You might be able to interchange those liners in those shells.

If you’ve ever had a wasp or bee fly into your helmet then you appreciate the mesh in the vent holes 😅 I certainly do

Everytime I see that one helmet I think of the band Devo

Nice and easy setup

Giro use to make a light full face called the switchblade with a removable face guard. I used it when I had braces and other dental work done. Only slightly hotter than a normal helmet.

Hi Kev it is the 76 year old biker again I just ride a mountain bike on the road now and have a 14 inch folding e bike I have a Laxada full face helmet it cost 62 dollards it is very similar to a Kali helmet for 225 it has 31 vents and it is very light not the best but better than a mushroom helmet that offers no protection for the jaw nose and teeth people are very foolish not to protect the face because it can happen so why not let it happen all kinds of things can happen beyond your control and then bam your teeth are gone just someone that got bumped by truck mirrors went into the woods and got beat up a bit my face is fine and I have my teeth thanks to that cheap full face helmet keep up the good work like your reviews hope you stay lucky and keep your teeth

The bell super 3r and it's more expensive brother have amazing ventilation. They honestly feel like half helmets

The local Wally World does have a full-face helmet. Also Mongoose. But only in a size far too small for my head. Nice to know they have adult sizes at a similar price. as an E-bike conversion guy, I've been tempted to go full moto helmet a few times...

❤️❤️ I like those helmets are nice

nice. Go Goose!

My son and I use a Seven IDP M1 helmet that was about $110, but that was 2 years ago that we bought them. These look nice.

I tried to find one as well. They are nice.

You should get a demon podium off of Amazon and compare the two, its pretty much the same price 90-100$ and it looks very similar

Looks like I need a another mongoose helmet got the half shell to go with the mongoose jersey.

look like motorcycle helmet me using this helmet for my 113cc bike : yes

This is an essential MTB accessory, and regardless of comfort or looks should be IMO everyone's first purchase outside of the bike purchase. People may complain about heat or even visibility but it's certainly an extremely good trade off for being a vegetable or serious facial reconstruction. Good on you for informing the people to this budget option 👍👍

Next episode Hyper Hydroform at Windrock with the Mongoose Title

would love to get one of these, even though my mtb experience is all easy trails. I've gone through a few helmets due to incompetent (or hostile) drivers, but haven't had the need for one on a trail yet. Gonna take me some time to get used to though, my go-to is a Giro Isode, since those are the helmets that have saved my bacon the most. I do like to bring a Bontrager Velocis for road rides though, since the isodes have severe mushroom effect visually. As for heat, dry heat is tolerable, but humidity is the true killer. Especially for lungs and sweating.

Do yourself a favor and compare that helmet to a legit helmet like a Leatt DH 1.0. The Leatt features more certifications (AS/NZS 2063:2008, ASTM F1952-10, EN1078, CPSC 1203), SLIGHTLY lighter at 859g, 360 turbine technology (impact zones for the skull, much like MIPS) and better positioned vents.

Bought it at Amazon, adult medium!

May I suggest you do bot use a black or dark colored helmet. Get a white, silver, chrome or other reflective color. You can paint it bright color, or wrap it or paint with plastidip( and remove if you don't like).

I'm all about safety and helmets but there is one pro on KZfaq, Sam Pilgrim, that you rarely see in a helmet and it's a half shell when you do...he has a very unfortunate smile to prove it. I personally like to see at least a MIPS certification. That certification doesn't have to add to cost either if you shop carefully. Nice helmets, especially for the price. I'd like to know more about the safety certification, only because I haven't seen it before (I trust Mongoose to put out a decent product).

Good afternoon Kevin

7idp m1 full face helmet is good also only $80 i like it also light rather than leatt 1.0

Never go budget on a helmet. Spend the money.

I did have a full face years ago but stopped using it. I found vision was compromised. They maybe better this was 20 years ago.

Can you fit the Sena Pi headset?

but do they actually protect that's the main criteria

Dont buy helmets because of cost. Buy them for ventilation and weight. If you need a full face most likely you are invested in the sport enough to be upside down anyways.

Sweet home alabama

Just tried to buy, most sizes on both helmets are sold out!

My “budget” full face is $400, and my half dome was $200

These look very similar to the bell full-face helmets around the same price.

Most importantly: can you modify the brand name so the helmet says "moose" on it?

Did you happen to mention if these helmets were MIPS? I think you have to be doing some hardcore riding to need a full face helmet.

What about the rogue bell ?

Is it Mips certified?

No padding un the chin guard :(

Can a GoPro fit on the chin?

I would take a MIPs half shell helmet over a full face non-MIPs helmet any day of the week. A full face helmet helps protect your face from rocks but those kinds of injuries are much less common and almost certainly non-life threatening. A skull impact from a fall is more common and the direct impact of a non-MIPs helmets is far more likely to result in traumatic brain damage. Brains > Face

That thing looks like it'll be super hot in the summer.

Rocks could get into the ventilation area if fall or branches. I keep trying force ppl I know to come cycling and one says not for me even though never tried. Another taking forever to pay small money to get a back wheel fitted on bike he bought super cheap of me and i still have cus he not ready get it to repair shop yet decathlon. Another guy would rather drink himself silly instead of go riding and he putting on weight cus of it. Guy lives with family and has a drinks cabinet in his room and would rather drink in his room instead of ride. His bike not really designed for speed with its high top frame and way it is. So out of 3 ppl i ask. 1 possible but taking nearly 6 months to pay tiny tiny money for repair of bike he bought of me. I keep sayung ur wasting the year not sorting the bike out.

Cocomelon 😆

Usually enjoy the content man but the info at the start of your video is just completely false. No local bike store is going to steer you into a full face over a half shell. If you ride bike park or a lot of jumps, then a nice full face is warranted. Just because it is a full face like this mongoose does not mean it is any more protective than a halfshell. It is all about the protection tech inside like MIPS or Trek's Wavecell and you should never cheap out on helmets. For instance a Smith Convoy MIPS is the same price as this and will do you way better in a crash. If you buy a helmet from a big box store you are just asking for a concussion.

The stack looks so bad🤣

Crap sold out

Love the Ukrainian flag!

I never did understand why so many bicycle helmets are black. People ride in the spring and summer a lot when the sun is high overhead and beats down on that black colored helmet and heats it up, even with good ventilation.
