With some of the coolest, and most unique features available in a helmet, the DRT5 doesn't just protect heads, it turns them. Who's this for: Riders wanting a super technical and stylish helmet with some of the latest tech you can find in a helmet. Rotational liner: The DRT5 comes with MIPS. Straps: A large Y-yoke design with a standard buckle. Retention system: Now this is where it starts to get interesting. The DRT5 doesn't use your typical plastic cage and dial to hold it on your head. Instead, it uses a BOA dial and a TX1 Lace Retention System. This is a very thin but VERY strong lace that you can barely feel on your head that tightens the whole way around to get a perfect fit. Padding: Another unique feature, is that it only uses two pads — one pad on the crown of your head, and the other is a simple, ribbed rubber pad at the forehead – this directs sweat around your face and away from your eyewear. Ventilation: 13 large-bore vents offer a happy medium of ventilation to coverage. Special features: The visor tilts nearly vertical to allow you to place goggles up and out of the way, without damaging anything, or having them in a precariously balanced position. Unfortunately, the Eyewear Landing Zone clips for sunglasses did not pass Australian Standards testing and is not included in Australian models. Pros: Advanced closure and padding features, while still being a protective all-mountain/trail helmet. Cons: You won't quite understand the lack of padding until you try it on, it could be a little polarising.
