Thanks for the great and clear comparison between both helmets. You compare features to features and it's the right way to make it. Greetings from Belgium!
Thanks for the comparison, helped me a lot. I might go with the A3 just because the design looks like it conforms the head more unlike the Fox that looks like it sits on your head. I hope I'm making sense. I also didn't know about the visor thing so another negative for the Fox for me. Thanks a lot!
Try them on. TL never fit comfortably on my head, Giro either. Fox and Met do. It's dependant on head shape and no video can let you choose fit. Details such as venting can obviously be discussed but fit needs a shop.
Great point! If you can try one on, definitely do that to see how it actually fits your head. Unfortunately for me here in Hawaii, these helmets are hard to find in a shop, Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Thanks for the comparison! I have just bought the Troy Lee A3, however I am unable to center the magnetic lock under my chin. It is off to the left. TLD's official video and yours (10:34) show the same. Do you have any idea if the lock can be centered at all or is it meant to be off to the left side? Thanks in advance!
@@cruisinginthe808 The ride down the volcano is 1000% a great experience. If you ride with a friend even better and you can full send down the road for 20+ miles barely pedaling its an amazing feeling and the views are spectacular. Best bikingexperiences of my life, impossible to recreate anywhere else from 8'000'. Aloha
Hi mate, I'm heading to Hawaii in a couple of months with my enduro bike, is there any trail or top 5 trails that I must do or that you recommend? Thanks In advance
Thank you! Glad you liked the video. I totally understand what you're saying but I have to say, the Fox still sits on your head pretty nicely. I don't really even notice the lack of the headliner in the back. On my ride today with the A3, I did notice more airflow in it so maybe it's not as bad as I thought it was. Both are excellent so no matter what you end up doing, I think you'll be fine. But yeah, the visor thing was surprising to me! The Fox looks like it would be way better due to how much bigger it is but the way it sits on your head like that? I was surprised that the A3 had more coverage. Thanks again for checking it out!
The sweat gutter is amazing, I wear Oakley glasses, use should use a micro fiber cloth to clean, so on the trail its great not to drip sweat on my glasses,, I had the A2, the A3 is improved in many areas, the visor can raise up to a few more positions where it locks in, Troy did his homework,, great Helmet..
Thanks man! Much appreciated! Just subscribed to your channel as well and will check it out this weekend! Have a good one and enjoy that Speed Frame Pro!
Had both and the Troy lee lining falls to bit and is very hard to get new lining. The Pro frame I've had two now as crashed in my last one and received a new one last month. Two sets of lining to get the fit, and haven't tried to get new liner but we will see.
Great review you probably should move the GoPro mount farther back which you can do so you can adjust the visor on the Fox. And as of today on Amazon Troy Lee A3 is at $178.57. 🇺🇲🤙🏼
Thanks! Yeah, I love that bike. I picked up the shirt from Bob Haro's website at www.bobharo.com/ He has other designs for other freestyle bikes too and he sells his artwork. Go check it out!
Fox visor is great for being in the trees alot lol it just wipes branches out your face the TLD isn't great for always flying in the air getting slapped with branching
Why bother paying more for a helmet? This is consumable safety gear. As soon as you land on your head, that helmet is compromised and they all offer the same protection.
I think it just comes down to personal preference. Do what works for you! The main thing is you are protecting your head. Any helmet is better than no helmet! Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Just an fyi mips does not prevent your head moving as you stated

Good review since I'm shopping. I was in Maui over the summer did some of the trails it was awesome and Haleakala.
Very cool! I've wanted to try riding down Haleakala but haven't done it yet. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

Thanks for the info! I'll have to keep an eye on the linings for both helmets to see how well they hold up myself. Thanks for watching!
I have a TLD Stage. I like it. I think the next one will be a D4.
Canʻt go wrong with TLD helmets! 🤙🏻
Can you take the visor away from the FoX?
Great video very helpful!
Thank you so much for watching and for the nice comment! Much appreciated!
Great review you probably should move the GoPro mount farther back which you can do so you can adjust the visor on the Fox. And as of today on Amazon Troy Lee A3 is at $178.57. 🇺🇲🤙🏼
Yeah I should move the mount back when I get a chance. That’s a great price on the Troy Lee! Thanks for watching!!
honestly, I like your shirt. It looks like GT Properformer Eddie Fiola bike. where I can avail this shirt? thanks for replying
Thanks! Yeah, I love that bike. I picked up the shirt from Bob Haro's website at www.bobharo.com/ He has other designs for other freestyle bikes too and he sells his artwork. Go check it out!
Troy Lee nr1
The Troy Lee is a fantastic helmet! Thanks for watching and for the comment!!
Thanks for the video. Pretty
Big price difference between the two or else I'd go with the A3. I'll stick with the Fox for now
Yeah, the TLD is definitely more expensive so that has to be considered. The Fox is still a great helmet! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Just picked up my A3 for $149. So much for the big price difference aye!
the sound listen good
A2 looks way better than Fox! I'm getting the Silver.
I think you'll be stoked with it! Thanks for watching!
Head size 58/59 it size M or L ??
For the A3, a 58 or 59 is considered a M/L. The XL starts at 60. Thanks for watching!
Fox visor is great for being in the trees alot lol it just wipes branches out your face the TLD isn't great for always flying in the air getting slapped with branching
Good point! Yeah, the Fox has a bigger visor that can do just that. Appreciate you sharing that comment and watching! 🤙🏻

What about the weight difference
I don't have a scale to weigh them but I'll see how they feel side by side and get back to you.
Fox Speedframe Pro is around 50 euro cheaper

"Why pay more for a car. All cars have safety gear. As soon as you wreck, they all offer the same protection" = your logic, yikes
