IXS Trigger FF sizing review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Sorry for the poor audio. Just a little ramble about the Trigger sizing which may help if you are in the market for one. I believe there is also now a MIPS version which is a little more expensive. I am not a fan of MIPS so went with this one which isnt. I am not sure if both versions will be marketed alongside each other.
Link to the other sizing video which I mention in this video:
• IXS Trigger Review, si...
Great job!! I been going crazy deciding on what size to get with my 57cm head. So now thinking about the S/M with smaller pads... TY!!
If it helps anyone, I have a 58 cm head and tried both sizes. The S/M actually fit way better. I was grateful to commit to trying both on.
This video is a godsend for us who are also picky about everything gear related. Great job man!
Glad it was helpful!
@@planemo191 Bought mine shortly after, fit like a glove. Thanks again man!
@@slimracer1553 Awesome! Glad it worked out for you! I have had so much help from YT over the years so nice to put a bit back in! Happy and safe riding bro!
Awesome review. There are very few videos about said helmet. I just got mine today locally.
Coming for Giro M, I’m quite suprised at IXS’ sizing.
The Xact model in L/XL snug perfectly.
Trail model in S/M.
Trigger and Trigger FF in M/L.
.
Trigger FF,
I have to use the supplied thicker cheekpads and
The ergofit dial harness set in the lowest of 3 levels, makes the fit better.
And yes, like u, I have to max. dial for perfect fit.
Hope you enjoy it!
Great info. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for your video. This is exactly the issue i had with buying from wiggle. I'm in Australia and didn't want to send it back. I'm a 59cm noggin and i now feel good that i ordered an ML. Would have been great if i saw this before ordering, oh well. Good on you, cheers
Thank you so much! Its exactly the reason why I did this video - to try and help out even just one person on this small planet. Cheers
@@planemo191 my ML fits perfectly. I think that Scottish chap was right, any bigger than 58 and your the larger size. I'm 59 and i don't think the smaller size would even get over my ears
Thanks again
@@rowdy7152 I'm right at 58 and I feel the S/M (with MIPS) is uncomfortably tight around my jaws. Haven't even gone for rides yet, but just wearing it for a few minutes gives me slight jaw aches and is pretty difficult to take on/off. The other vid I saw said to size down if on the border but now I'm not sure if sizing up will be right either.
If I may add, I got it for a good price so risked without trying it on, I'm at the bottom of the sizing range, 54cm forehead circumference, I'm of a slight build and while the adjusent strap has a bit of range left still, I could use slightly thicker set of pads, the one included just barely press onto my chicks, good enough for what I want to use this helmet for, but not ideal.
I have actually added an additional foam piece (from the spares kit of an old cycle helmet) to the front band that goes round the forehead. This makes the fit perfect, in fact I now have another 3 clicks left on the adjuster now, instead of none before.
Thanks for the review. Was looking for something like that, as my head size (depending on how i measure it) is about 57,2 - 57,5 cm. From your review I gather I should get the S/M size. The question is, does the MIPS distort your measurment / fit tips? I mean does it make the helmet effectively smaller? I don't suppose manufacturers make different shell sizes depending on whether they intall MIPS or not. Did you have a chance to compare your lid with one with MIPS?
Hi, no I didnt compare with a MIPS version, sorry. Not sure if it will affect sizing either although thats a good question. It may do. I do have a MIPS Fox Speedframe and there is deffo a gap for movement so the manufacturers may make a bigger shell for MIPS. Really difficult one, I wish I could be more help :(
there is actually XS size as well
Thanks, I didnt know that! There was certainly only 2 sizes listed when I was looking around in the UK. Maybe the XS is marketed as 'youth' or 'child size'. Either way, thanks for updating.
I cant put back the side pad😢 its really hard
I have this helmet, the no mips model. The only criticism I have is the non removable cheek pads. It would be really nice if it can be remove for washing.
They don't come out??
@mikeburgh3956 looks like they will. Never tried but seen the spare 1 in the box. So it will come out for sure, just need a brut force.
@@mjojrjr6231 thanks for confirming! Because I'm about to order the non mips.
Thank you!
An interesting and relevant review.
The theme is just right for me, with my head size 56-57 cm. So, all the same, the size is S / M (54-58cm). I have another question. If we compare Fullface helmets, in terms of external size. After all, they cannot be the same for all companies that produce such Fullface helmets. I would not like to have a very large helmet on the outside. But I have no experience with such Fullface helmets. How can you conditionally call this Fullface helmet, compact and large? I understand that calling this type of helmet small is silly.
I’ve been shopping for helmets heavily recently. Specifically full face with high breathability and MIPS. This is definitely one of the less bulky options for under $400, and considerably lighter than most. I just bought the IXS trigger FF MIPS in size S/M and my helmet is 1 pound 4 ounces and some change.
On the both sides of the white SixSixOne helmet there are two foils with black wires (and maybe a battery pack on the back?). Are those some kind of LED strips? Could you please give me a link for them?
Hi yes they are EL Glo strips as I use the 661 helmet on my electric unicycle at night. I got them at www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LED-Motorcycle-Helmet-Light-Strip-Motor-Bike-Night-Riding-Luminous-Lights-Signal-/333875216770?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0
Thank you for this great review and explanation. My head is 57.3 measured , and im leaning towards S/M size ,but do you think that M/L with the bigger cheek pads and maxed out in the back will fit me? Im also worried that those bigger pads will eventually in time become smaller do to wear
Thanks for your comment. Re your size, I must admit you are in a very difficult position. Do you wear glasses? Do you have a 'tall' head? In any event I'm with you, I think I would be erring towards the S/M as I would be concerned that the M/L would run out of adjustment. That said, if you use glasses and/or have a tall head I woukd be thinking about the larger size. If push comes to shove, you could always add some sticky backed foam strip to the internal bands. It would only need a thickness of a few mm. Just a thought.
ML will be too big, I already bought it
@@GoldSK96 i bought the S/M size and it fits perfectly.
@@alexdrift6285 yeah gonna return mine and get the small! Glad it worked out
The 2 are completely different types of helmets that's why. One is for dh. The other is designed to be for pedaling up and down.
Not sure what point you're trying to reference. The price difference between lids?
@@planemo191I think he means 1 has mips the other doesn't. But both are DH rated if not mistaken.....
Thanks for the video. My problem with this helmet is that I'm between 62-63 so wondering if the large one even fits my head lol.
I ordered one to try on, my head is 60-61 and i can barely get it on to my head, but once it's on it's very comfortable
As someone with head size 62 (maybe 63) I have no dilemma which size to go for. I'm just wondering about the shape. Do you feel it would favor more long-oval or round head?
Hi, because you are well outside any crossover issues, I really dont think you will have a problem with whatever shape your head is. The band system and general shell internal shape should cater no problem. In my opinion its only a consideration when you are inbetween sizes :)
I'm a 59cm but i guys i would say i have a long head. My ML fit really well. The dial adjustment can tighten but also adjust up and down for different head shapes. If i had to pick from your options i would say it naturally suits a round head but can adjust to most
the plastic buckle is right under my chin digging into my throat. how tight does the chin strap need to be? I'm about to return it
I'll agree with you mate, the Trigger strap is set quite far back compared to many other lids I have had. But its no biggie for me. I have mine so that its gently pressing against my skin. As long as the lid wont pull off (which it wont even if its just touching) its all good :)
@@planemo191 two fingers on top of each other is comfortable for me. Just wondering if that buckle will slice me open in a crash
