UPDATE: Fox now offers theirs with MIPS. At the time of making this video, it wasn't available. Thanks for the massive amounts of comments letting me know! 👍🏼

Great video! I touched on the comfort aspect of the Giro retention system in my Giro Montaro review. I find the Giro helmets to be extra comfy! Love the content on this channel.

Wow you must really know those trails, I would have no clue where to go with the snow cover. Loved the news report from Sheyn on the trail, lol! That takes some forethought, well done!

Great Vid Shane! I love the quiet on the trial too! Onyx hubs with that 0 degree of engagement have been quite a game changer for me! I prefer the smith forefront helmet, but for winter here in the northeast, I ride my fat bike along with a snowboard helmet to keep warm, where I am generally riding well below zero, although not recently!

Nice job editing this one!!

Great video garage Shane and trail Shane! Definitely the most unique helmet Review/opinion video. Always entertaining.

Nice work getting out with the current weather, and props on sending Cathedral Drop in the snow! Save yourself for the summer tho ;-)

I was just talking about looking into one of those drop frame helmets yesterday. 😂 your opinion has been taken into consideration and i bid you a good day 🤘🏽 lol

Great review Sheyn! 😊

Just stumbled across your channel. Dude you rip and this one made me laugh out loud. You the man

I was researching helmets that cover the ears and .....tadaaaaaaa....i this video. Thank you....and thank you youtube algorithm.

Great video Shane! It was great meeting you in Fruita! Keep the videos coming:) Freight Train Shane

Nice, I have been actually looking at those style helmets. Being that im a "crasher" as you know. So there was a lot of good info there. Thanks man.. hope to see ya out in Sedona again.

Awesome video! I'm leaning toward the Dropframe because I wear the Proframe for big rides. But the Dropframe doesn't come in XL (although the Proframe does) so I'm back on the fence. May just end up running a fullface all the time. Dude, you dropped the Cathedral in the snow?! Nice!!!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘

AWESOME VIDEO!! I have a Fox Dropframe and it personaly fits me. 🤘🤘

NOICE Video! I got the Fox helmet. Had to return it for a large but it fits great now! Haven’t tried the Giro but it’s good looking!

helmets like these make a lot of sense for me, great video!

Damn you fancy KZfaqr and your fancy new helmets!!! Great review, I hadn't given these two helmets much thought. I think I'll go with a full face, I am already ugly enough. Thanks again for the review. Sub'd

You will soon reach 100,000 subscribers with garage content like this!

In bmx it’s called a full cut helmet when it covers the ears

Helmets brands fit certain heads.My motorcycle helmet has to be Shoei and Bell cycle helmets fit me well. Nice homage to PtP and the sound of snow 😁 Great vid.

Thanks dude, this helped sooo much. I am still a teen so the Giro would probably be better for me as I can adjust the helmet fit as I grow. Where as the Fox is a single size.

Fun video. When you first went into the garage I thought I was going to be bored but the video carried well. I saw the Kali Maya on there. If you crashed that one they will replace it for the cost of shipping.

I bought gyro tyrant after saw this video, and i love it. Thanks mate

We came across a guy who had come off on a short but very steep part of a red trail wearing a traditional fit trail lid. He had quite a few people around him and the scene looked quite serious so we stopped for a nosey and saw that he had almost ripped his right ear off on impact with the rocky ground.

Let's face it... these helmets are all about looks! or are they?... ***yep... i'm stupid.. i had LOTS slips of the tongue and said "PROFRAME" where I should've said "DROPFRAME".........face palm!

At last a video where the reviewer actually wears the helmet all the time providing the viewers the best possible experience of the product. Great job!

i love how they're doing full cuts for mtb now. im on my second lazer revolution ffs with the earcovers.

I really like how you edit your videos. I'm also glad to see that your channel is doing well enough that you were able to hire a dude to do trail reports while you're in the garage. He looks a little like you, as well.😁 I get the hot spots in the same place with a helmet. I sometimes get it in the back of the head. Interesting you don't get it on the ears with those helmets. My ears will bother me from wearing headphones or some motorcycle helmets, so I feel like that style of helmet would hurt my ears. Would be nice for winter riding. Does your face, or the trail dude's face, get cold riding in the winter?

Whoa, that cathedral section in the now looks mental!

Dug this impression vid! Fun and helpful. Also, when Trail Sheyn said "warmth-ness" and Garage Sheyn said "wind air" I was all like LOL. 😆 #laughingwithyounotatyou

So nice to have a quiet bike! My new bike is so quiet and it totally makes riding fast easier.

I won a Giro Tyrant from Cody Kelley and I love it! Makes me extra steezy.

Just ordered this helmet today! What's with all the hate on this helmet? I'm old school so I love the looks. Why do ears need protection? Hearing that question tells me what is to be protected is already lost! Retro looks combined with new school safety tech? I'm all in!! I'll see how the hot it get this summer when I get my rickety old self gets on the park this summer with my son. Be safe.

@0:31 door opens on beat. Coincidence? I think not! Nice editing! Really liked the opening sequence.

I had never heard of the giro switchblade before this video but now that I know such a product exists I need it 😂

Dude U look like Mouth from the Goonies, and this is a compliment!!!! Great riding style and great video. I'm going to buy one of this helmet, did u have any overheating issues? Greetings from Germany

To think the first video of yours I watched was you reviewing the Maxxis plus tires just getting into mountain biking. Now your ripping in that rocky! Also I might need a d bag helmet I mean 3/4 shell

Looks nice!! ✌️✌️✌️

Got the Fox. It is just awesome

round headed people tend to enjoy the Fox more. the people with narrow heads side to side tend to like Giro (been selling helmets of diff brands for a lot of years

Gotta say Giro has the tech nailed down when it comes to fit of the helmet, I’m on my second Giro now and they’ve both fit incredibly well, cheers 🍻

I just loved the design of the Tyrant . It’s kinda of clean e compact . What size is yours ? My head has 58cm I am thinking the M size will fit well

Comfort and safety is priority! Looking like a Starship Trooper is a close second.

Nice edit and comparison 👌 I couldn't stop cringing every time you said Proframe though. That's a different helmet 😉

the best helmet is the one that fits you the best....

Another nice video! Thanks!!! Are you going to wear them in the summer as well ? I’m just curious!

Honestly think it looks good, better than the Fox imo. And kudos again to hitting the cathedral WITH SNOW on it! Makes me want to go get a quick PU>Moto rip in now!

That issue with the head pain in the dropframe may have just been sizing. Fox's sizing for those helmets is way off, there's endless reviews saying the same. I had the same issue with the bell as well, but i bought a dropframe in a size up from usual and it's easily the most comfy helmet i've ever had.

Cool snow riding. I'm winter MTB riding in Denver. About same temp as GJ. I've been riding a lot with full face helmet (Bell Super 3R MIPS Bike Helmet With Removable Chin Guard) and googles to keep my face warm. Works. So I totally get your reasoning. Also, been riding with layers and light (neon yellow) wind breaker jacket (makes a big difference). Also, riding with heavy, lined, biking pants (thick, but stay warm). Per winter riding, have you had to change or adjust anything else? Mud guard, tires, gloves, shoes, clothes, shock & fork pressure, other?

Glad to see there is someone that has a windshield almost as cracked as mine 😜

Glad you say that about the "horns" i got a specialized helmet neon green really pretty but give me the same feeling in my head, its the same size (in cm) of my other helmet, but that one dosent give me that feeling in my head.... Is there a why to fix it? Changing the pattding inside of lose a little bit the strap? I dont know it just not a good feeling in my head after a long ride...

what do ya know the specific helmet I was looking into happens to be your video🤘

Very good.

The Giro Tyrant has better ear coverage than the Fox Dropframe, and hearing is not an issue. I bought the new Switchblade in 2017 but most of my riding I don't need that extra protection, and I like the Tyrant's buckle system better than the D-rings. I have hyper-sensitive ears (to wind or just air hitting them) , so I still wear the real, old-school, one-piece, over-the-ears open-face Dyno BMX helmet unless its warn or hot outside. The Tyrant works well for me for temps above 70; otherwise I usually wear the Dyno, a brand which unfortunately went out of business 20 years ago. I have used XL sized bandannas , which are big enough to fold over to cover my ears and fit under the Tyrant for some rides when it is cooling off outside due to the sun going down so early. I would like to see Giro offer design options instead of just monochromatic colors.

Am I the only one jonesing for some gyros? Nice edit, dude

I got a Fox Dropframe. Primary reason was to give some protection to the temples and my upper jaw (which I broke playing rugby) and it comes down a bit further in the back for added protection there as well. I like to ride some skateparks and concrete jumps and things in my hood and like the added protection. Added benefit I was not expecting was that it fits so well I really don’t even need to buckle the chin straps. I do of course, but it is not the chin straps that keep it on my head like a trail helmet; it just stays on my head from the fit. I love this because I hate chin straps- they never fit me right, irritate the shit outta me, and keep my mind thinking about how much they are irritating me the entire time I ride. The Dropframe disappears on my head- unless heat is an issue this summer I’m never going back to a trail helmet. And as to these vs fullface- fullface helmets are just such overkill for the vast majority of my riding. And to me it looks way more stupid seeing some yo bro with a fullface on a mellow trail than these. Fox vs Giro- the pads that come with the Fox allow you to customize fit pretty well, I like the way it feels on the ears better, and it came in zebra stripes- hell yeah! LOL.I think we’ll be seeing more of these as people try them.

surreal ride at the loops with no hub noise in the snow.

Here's my two cents :) Thanks for review

I think that both of them are ugly. I do not like the full ear ones at all. I get the point, and I liked the idea of making the noise minimal is awesome. I was going to talk about the sunglasses but apparently they are fake, so you haven't gotten any. lol. Good video man, entertaining! And the riding looked fun, and sketchy, so fun!

MIPs , Comfort, covers the back of the head, and required MTB visor #soenduro ! The check list is complete! I may have to buy a new helmet, because mine is breaking, but for the first time it's not because of a crash. I've actually had it long enough that the adjuster dealio is worn out. #ridemorecrashless

Ive got a Fox Proframe. It's an OK helmet , fits OK ( not great), it's well vented but that "fidlock" is the biggest pain in the arse about it. Maybe it's just me but I always get the 2 bits the wrong way up and they don't connect so I have to take the f88in thing off to see how it works blah blah. I quite like the look of that Tyrant so might give it a go. Thanks for the vid.

My God!! 5 minutes before you get to the review's sweet jesus

MIPS isn't a gimmick. I chose based on my riding terrain. Riding the rocky descents in snow at the beginning of your clip, I would go full face w/MIPS. Between Giro and Fox that you covered I would go with Giro on moderate off-road trails. Helmets are the only gear that I won't compromise based on price.

I do like ride more crash less 🤔. Great edit my dude 👏👏👏👏. Oh and piss off haters 😝

I wear a snowboard helmet with full ear muffs year round with goggles. No better way to ride if you hate the wind in your ears and eyes. And n the winter it's so snuggly warm. (Disclosure: I ride a class 3 ebike so it never gets too hot, even on the hottest summer days.)

Looks good I like it although black absorbs heat in the summer sun, perhaps yellow?

Be careful of the Fauxleys. I once had a pair that broke such that the lens shattered into many eye impaling pieces. (Though fortunately none actually impaled my eye.) Not that Realkleys are necessarily worth it, but there’s probably a happy medium between $1 and $399.

I bought mine Tyrant a couple of weeks ago. Was going to buy the Fox but size was an issue and the retention system/Mips was crappy. Giro wins overall.

I owned the PROframe, yes I mean pro. And I was majorly disappointed, it sucked. As a helmet, it was comfortable, breathable, and it was light. The quality on the other hand was awful. Random parts of the chin bar started to crack, some even completely separated. I think only 2 bars actually stayed together. That is probably not great for safety. It was NEVER crashed, it was ABSOLUTELY NEVER dropped, and yet it just started cracking. On other terms, it faded pretty fast, and was different shades of neon yellow after 4 or 5 months. Not impressed. I just picked up a 6D Helmets ATB-1T EVO, and I have been loving it.

Be bold, start cold!!

Can you wear AirPods with the helmet on? Do they fit??

We have Lime Cat to thank for inspiring helmet manufacturers.

Nice. Yeah, that Giro would be way too hot for summer riding.

The more I ride and the "faster" I think I'm actually going the more wearing a full face would make sense. It almost seems bad etiquette amongst riders to wear a full face anywhere other than a lift access park though.

I wanted really bad to like the fox drop frame but it just doesn’t fit well at all on me. I’m usually a large but the large dropframe fits like a small.

Virginia Tech helmet lab ranked the Tyrant 4th on there list of best helmets. Fox isn’t on the list so I think they didn’t test them, but all the best helmets have some kind of mips system.

Lol the sarcasm was rich today!

Onyx Vesper hub is interesting. I want better engagement , Hope pro 4 are not optimal.

First time viewer and now subscriber, so here my 2 cents... Love the honest review. I bought the Fox Drop Frame Camo but I didn't know there was another good option. I always wondered why the MTB helmets looked so similar to road bike helmets. Like a cap on the top with a LITTLE more back coverage... Im an old Roadie but a New MTBie... So glad to see MTB evolve to true MTB helmets without having to do the full DH style. PLUS Ive always hated those long string straps that showed all my sweat UGH. Now I can wear my ski goggles with the dropframe helmet to keep my contacts from getting to dry. Plus it looks so much better that those string caps that they call MTB helmets. I hear that more companies are looking to make a similar type over-the-ear non-chin style helmet. I think it will be the next dropper post trend to catch on and now people will be like why did it take so long to make the correct MTB helmet...

Can visor on either be totally removed..like skate helmet?

Is the snow that crunchy "kinda grippy" kind? Cuz I don't know how the hell you're doing that. Looks terrifying on this end. Haha.

Miss GJ! Little Park Road! Bangs!

I have a big head and I’ve tried a few fox helmets, none of them would fit . Giro is the only helmets that seem to fit . I have a switchblade and its a lot cooler than my old dh helmet that had practically no vents .

Apparently the Giro comes with Mega Tall Hair Technology (TM) 3:20 whereas the Fox does not. That must be why it fits better.

How did you get on with the wind noise I am looking for a helmet that will stop the wind noise is this the helmet for me or are there any others people recommend ???

I just wish i had your confidence to wear something like that

The Crashing Vader

I will stick with full face helmet, but I will need something better than the 2016 fox rampage pro carbon. so many options, I will have to research and see what features all of them have and eliminate every helmet that does not have the criteria.

Looking good in the helmet, maybe a replacement for your everyday hat?!?!

I tested both and the Giro is way more comfortable. Plus the ratchet system put it over the top.

I wear the switchblade without the chin on most rides I bought it when o broke the very bottom part of my last normal helmet on a rock millimeters from may not covered but part of my head and cut my ear on a stick pretty bad and thought what if that stabbed into my ear lol 👂

What's the bike you are riding @Crashing Dad?

Had to sub so funny

Looks different but if it works cool!

You crack me up

Does the tyrant have a gopro mount?

Can you fully remove the visor peak?

There is a MIPS version of the fox which costs a bit more

The fox does look cool, but with no MIPS....you might as well duct tape a batters helmet on your head 😜. This time of the year I like being able to wear my full face helmet with GoPro attached and not use a chesty. Even if the Giro was neon pink...I'd still use it over the fox - wth, I can't see it when I am riding anyway 😂
