I like your casual style of presenting....I have just ordered one in UK but before I saw your review. I just hope it fits. I do like the side ear support. The helmet is like a slightly chopped down FF helmet in a way.
Cheers mate! Glad you like the vid. It's just a snug fit not an uncomfortable fit. Take note the velcros ON the helmet, the glue they use is not that tacky so may come off when you remove the pads to wash. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Hello 👋🏾👋🏾 Well not really an upgrade? It's just different. Because both helmets are meant to be snug but Alpina is more 'adjustable'. In my opinion, the Alpina is "better" than the Fox in pricing (no MIPS) and in air flow.
Glad you asked! Like it: yes Snug fit: yes Light: yes Cooling: yes What I didn't like was the velcro pads that were ON the helmet shell itself, seems weak (not strong adhesive) as 2 came off but were still intact to the foam pads. Again, it's my personal account, some friends who have the Fox ones naturally said theirs were better 🤭 Hope this helps 🤙🏾
@@SuperGee75 thanks, yes has helped, I ordered one as only paid £70, which is a bargain. Going to try it on and see what I think, I can always send it back and buy the fox If I don't. Good video by the way
@@mjojrjr6231 didn't fit quiet right so returned it. The quality was a little poor, one of the pads started to come in stuck. I got a giro tyrant instead, it's so much better
Toller Helm, Ich fahre in auch oft wenn ich nicht den Fullface mitnehmen möchte. Vor allem im Sommer wenn der Fullface zu heiss ist, ist dieser sehr angenhm.
Hallo, Danke für die ausführliche Vorstellung des Rootage Evo auf RUclips. Mich verunsichert der große Abstand des Schirmes von der Helmkante über dem Gesichtsausschnitt. Es ist für mich keine sinnvolle Funktion der Schildes ersichtlich. Sonnenschutz? Im Sichtfeld steht die Helmkante über dem Schirm. Luftführung? Die Öffnungen im Helm sind bereits sehr groß. Was passiert wenn ein Ast quer zum Gesicht auf den Helm aufschlägt? Ohne den Schirm würde der Ast einfach über den runden Helm wegrutschen. An dem weit oben überstehenden Schirm kann sich der Ast am Schirm festhängen und reißt den Helm und den Kopf nach hinten. Haben Sie diesbezüglich Erfahrungen in der Fahrpraxis gemacht ? Viele Grüße Felix
Hello. Had to translate your long detailed comments 😅😬 Hope you don't mind me replying in English. Well all your concerns are valid and especially the comment about the visor being potentially intrusive during rides but as a worldly experience, personally I don't have any but a friend had the Fox Dropframe (very Similar to Rootage) and it did serve him well and actually saved his ears from his fall. And on the visor, it's actually positioned high up and so does not cover the line of sight. Been using it and my only gripe would be the velcro pads attached inside the helmet that are not fixed well enough and comes off regularly. All else, I find this helmet lighter, more airy and gives me better confidence. Maybe the snug fit too may be a no-no for many. Hope my feedback gives you more confidence to buy this helmet 😉😊
@@SuperGee75 Hallo Eric, I found out that the visor is only clipped in. The visor can be unclipped with a little force without destroying it. First unclip the left and right, then unclip the rear. In future I will ride without a visor and thus have one less source of danger. Safety is always in the foreground. Perhaps the topics of "branches in front of the helmet" and "unclipping the visor" could be a topic on the channel. I wish you many beautiful and safe tours Felix

Thanks for the vid. This seems a lot like a Fox Dropframe but with the adjustable lock in the neck, as you mentioned? So a kind of upgrade to the Fox?

Great review 👍
Thanks 😊
Have you ridden in it yet, what are your thoughts?
I might order one later
Glad you asked!

@@philharrop4373 How was it Mate? I'm tempted too.

@@philharrop4373 thanks Mate, looking at POC tectal atm.
Hi, can I have the link to order this? Much appreciated!
👋🏾👋🏾 try bike24.com / bikecomponents.com / bikeinn.com
Hope this helps and have fun!
@@SuperGee75 Ordered from bikeinn, took close to 1 month to arrive but love it! Thanks for the recommendation!
@@MafiaInc awesome one mate. Very happy to have helped
How was the helmet? Still using it or not?

Hye bro.. This helmet has mips?
Hello 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾 nope this helmet has no MIPS
