Troy Lee Designs has a long-standing history of making some of the best mountain bike helmets on the market, and I’m happy to report that the A3 carries on the tradition. After a season of use and abuse in the Pacific Northwest, I came away impressed with the TLD A3’s standout comfort, premium set of features, and robust construction. From gnarly enduro trails to quick after-work pedals, the Troy Lee Designs A3 helmet is the perfect companion.

Fox’s Speedframe Pro helmet stands above the competition with its impressive combination of comfort, features, and reasonable price tag.
