[bizutch]

Yayyyy!!!! I will now stare in awe at some rich kids head in the spring who goes 2.5 miles per hour and know that his head is more secure than mine. Rejoice!!!!

 

[dropmachine]

When do the ones that look nice come out?

 

[Jeremy R]

$450 and the same flame paint job the 98 models with the bolt-on facemask had.
Priceless.

I just bought an se2 for 225 on super mega closeout... and it's moto approved.

 

[DhUrbaner]

any idea on sizing? I'm a med/lg in the D2 sizing and it fit just right. I'd order 1 right now if I only knew for sure.?

They have the D3 helmet sizing on TLD's site.

[Total Heckler]

Yeah I was running a med/lrg on my D2. I ended up getting a Medium D3. Just used my hat size. =]

 

[dropmachine]

If you pay $750 for a one-hit helmet, you deserve that one hit when it happens.

 

[landcruiser]

Every mtb and moto helmet in the world are one-hit.

I must say I'm a bit dissapointed with the graphics packages TLD put together for the new D3... for such an awesome new helmet I was hoping for something that made a bit more of a statement, aesthetically.

However to me, their new D2 graphics look pretty awesome for 2010. Plus the hot-rod themed Palmer lid looks badass! I think Hot-Rod themes will always represent classic style.

EDIT: Now if ONLY TLD would paint a D3 the with the same graphics as their Palmer D2... Say - offer a limited "Palmer D3" THAT would rock!

thats nothing, over here they want 500€ for them...

 

[Banshee Rider]

Weird? I just spoke with TLD on Monday and the pre-christmas arrival wasn't going to happen, and they were pushed back until spring? Maybe the online dealers get priority over stocking dealers?

Either way I was told they will be offering the raw carbon, which is much better than the color options IMO.

Yeah I am not sure about that, but I know RideSFO will have them in house on Monday.

As for the straight carbon one, the word on the street is sometime in the future they will offer it.

 

[spocomptonrider]

Ugh, those graphics should be a hit with the TAP-OUT crowd they must be aiming for. I'm getting the stealthed out D2 for next year, hopefully they will get the graphic program outta 1999 mode for next year.

 

[leprechaun]

Man you guys are at it today!!!

The carbon and silver Hill isn't doing it for ya?

No one here wanted a moto helmet that was a bit lighter and vented
better???????????????

For $50 more than a D2?????????

WTF??

I have an SE2 and the D3 feels nearly identacle but a lot lighter!

We'll have em on tuesday to help figure out sizing.

We have a handfull left that arent presold.

Negative. POC is multi hit rated.

 

[jonKranked]

Yup.

Bern helmets are multi hit rated as well. They currently only have turtle shells, but a buddy of mine is a rep and told me he's seen in person full face protos that are multi impact rated. He's trying to convince them to expand into DH, they don't think its viable, especially against companies like Giro. But he's pushing on the fact that there's only one other company with multi impact rated helmets.

 

[landcruiser]

I don't want to really derail the thread (cause I'm pretty excited to check out and maybe pick up a D3), but I have yet to buy into the multi-impact hype.

I really want it to happen, cause I know the technology is being developed, but until there's a standard for multiple impacts and/or the manufactures can tell me exactly how many impacts they think their helmets can take (yes, there is limit. and it's often not that many), then I will consider every helmet to be one-impact.

 

[dropmachine]

POC is indeed multi hit. if I want a light, SINGLE HIT helmet, I will take the 661 Evolution. Same protection, little heavier, and I can buy 3 for the price of the logo on a TLD.


*** sorry, i put multi by mistake.

661 evolution carbon for 175$cnd on crc. 787$ for a d3
You can but 4.5 661 for 1 d3.

the 661 evos have a PS core. PS is a one hit wonder.

The poc has there own core. I believe for 2010 they will be using the mips tech. I havent come across it on there site for there DH helmets but i know they are using the mips tech. Mips tryed to sell us on it but were too damn cheap.

That is the bucket that i want with the mips.

The Evolution is only rated @ ATSM 1952 (according to 661's website). From what I've heard in regards to that standard, it doesn't encompass a multi-impact rating. Is that correct? Does anyone have the text of ASTM 1952 that I could read?

 

[dropmachine]

Sorry, i miswrote that. I meant to put SINGLE IMPACT for the evolution.

Point is, if the damn thing is designed to hit the ground, why buy one that costs 3x as much, but provides the same protection?

The same reason that bishes buy Prada and D&G?

I am glad I am not the only one who recognized that fact.

I can't decide who cares more; the people who spend the money for them, or YOU for not giving it a rest already?

I totally agree! The D3 is a welcome evolution of the D2 and looks to be the new DH favorite. It's just the graphics don't seem to be really making much an aesthetic statement for such a cool new product.

I look forward to the plain all-carbon one coming out and will most likely pick one up from you guys. Kris - any solid lead on when the all-carbon D3 will be available?

You're being ripped off. the exchange rate should put you around $300us.
