Love the style, not the feel. Padding inside helmet so thin you can feel the styrofoam lining against your head, similar to a bicycle helmet. Perscription glasses don't fit well at all inside helmet. Face shield does not seal against rubber gasket and when I changed to the mirror shield the racheting mechanisim broke and had to be replaced. Changing the face shield is more difficult than it should be. I will say Revzilla has excellent customer service and very fast shipping.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great looks, Lots of airflow even if it's a little noisy. Average weight & the sizes fit the same as Shoei helmets. This helmet & my Shoei TZR are both large & the fit is nearly identical. Good fit if you have a rounder head.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this helmet specifically for my passengers. I measured them as an adult small and the Fly seems to fit them true to size. The helmet looks like a much pricier dual sport lid from a couple of feet away. Finishings are basic and vent adjusters are a little more "fiddly" when you take a real hard look, but you simply cannot beat this helmet for the price. Easily worth twice as much as the list price.

Overall this helmet is very comfortable, light, and a great value. The only beef that I have is the cheeks are very narrow. They don't push in to the point of being uncomfortable, but they do push in a bit firmer than normal. I was afraid to go up a size because the helmet felt so good every where else.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Tried the AFX DS helmet and found the FLY helmet to be much, much better. The finish quality was better, the fit was better. And the quick disconnect chin strap on the AFX helmet sounds good, but using it is more of a pain than an old fashioned D-ring strap.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Nice helmet for the $$. Should fit goggles fine underneath. Fits very nicely. I have a big head and got the XXL which fit fine. This helmet is noisier at street speeds than normal full-face street lids. Also, if you turn you head to the side, you'll feel more twisting. I haven't used this helmet off road yet. With normal dirt helmets, I wear glasses under goggles, or goggles w/ prescription inserts, and neither option is good in the rain. I'm hoping this helmet works out better.

Yes, I recommend this product.

I am torn between this Fly Trekker Helment and the FX 39.

Highred

on Fly Trekker DS Helmet

It seems to me that the Trekker Helmet is a slight bit better since the FX 39 is considered "entry level". Am I correct in my assumption that the Trekker is a better helmet?

Answer:

Both the Trekker and the FX-39 are considered 'entry-level' in the Dual Sport Helmet world. These two are actually based off of the same shell so there aren't very many differences. We haven't gotten enough feedback to really see one pull ahead of the other, but my personal opinion goes to the FX-39. I like the way it fits and feels a bit better.

Answer:

Yes, these helmets are based off the same shell so sizing should be very similar. If anything, the AFX lining and cheekpads tend to fit slightly larger.

Answer:

I own both, though in different sizes for different family members. The FLY and AFX shells and hard parts are identical, but there are differenes in the soft materials (the padding and webbing). The padding appears to be cut from identical patterns, but the materials are different. And the webbing for top of the head is different in design and material. That said, the thickness for the padding appears to be the same, so the sizes are probably the same.

AFX FX-39 Dual Sport Helmet

Answer:

The best helmets that I know of would be the Shoei Hornet and the Arai XD-3, however, we recently tried the AFX FX-39 and it works really well too! The Fly Trekker is made by the same manufacturer as the AFX, so I would imagine the same would be true for this helmet.
