My new Fly Trekker DS Helmet

I'm lovin' it! Birthday present from my wifey. Too bad I couldn't test it out yet, still snowing in the Canadian Rockies. Snug fit.

Surprisingly good quality, considering the low price.

Nice! I recently bought a Trekker too but I got the Hi-Viz version.

Sweet! I was thinking of the high viz one but I went with a high viz pack instead.

I usually always wear white helmets and I spent a lot of time trying to decide between the two. Your white one looks great. I spend about 10 miles on the interstate through a "never gonna finish it" construction zone and that was the clincher on the color.

I really like these helmets but nobody stocks them around here and I've never been able to order the right size helmet online.

What other helmets do you guys have (and what size) and how do you compare the fit to the size Trekker you've got?

Maybe I'll luck out and one of you wears a medium Arai profile and this fits a RCH looser in the cheeks.

I have a big head, I wear an XXL. I have also have a Fly MX helmet so I was pretty sure what size I needed. I know in Scorpion street helmets an XXL is tight, but this Fly helmet fits me nice.

What model MX helmet do you have and how does the fit compare between the two? If it's pretty much the same I can try on the mx lids that are available local.

Those helmets look pretty good! Might have to look into one of those if I get a set of off-road wheels for my X. I currently use a Shoei TZR street helmet, does anyone know if the Trekker helmet sizing is the same, larger or smaller than Shoei?

I just bought a Trekker about a month ago. According to their fit chart I was a large and that turned out to be the best fit. I have a round head shape and I also tried the XL but it was too big. For comparison purposes, my Shoei Multi-tec is also a size large.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering cause I take a large in a Shoei also.

It is a couple years old. It's a Fly Kevlar "something". It fits very much the same as the Trekker

Looks exactly like the AFX 39. Had mine for a year and love it.

Just got a Fly Trekker in white yesterday. Fits perfectly & is about the same fit as Shoei sizes. Once I squeeze my ears past the bottom opening it's a nice snug fit & should be perfect once it's broken in. A few bits of info in case it's not listed on their website. Label says made in Taiwan, very nice quality on the paint & assembly, visor has a few rough edges in the cut outs but very sturdy for $125.00

Don't care what anyone says ... you're catching wind with that visor.

very little wind actually. I've ridden many miles at 75nph.

Yup, and it's quiet. And unlike my dirt helmet, the chin doesn't get pulled up.

I ordered it from atomic moto, they gave me excellent advice regarding the size.

How much was shipping to Canada?

I picked up the same helmet a month ago with my 2012 WRR. I have been really enjoying it. I am used to Arai and whatnot from my crotch rocket days (they dont do so well up here in AK). Not a lot of wind noise and it is pretty comfortable for what it is. I would recommend it to others for a good budget helmet.

Just picked one up yesterday, matte black...medium.
Tight to get on...but fits well.
Had a huge bug splat on the center of my visor, first ride...gotta love that visor.

The chin strap is tricky to thread...plus It's tough to get on/off without unthreading completely...as I'm used to leaving it threaded on the end.
And the straps anchor in an odd spot for my ears...anywho just a comment.
Overall good fit for my tight helmet...and the price was right. $149
My first helmet was a large gmax...it eventually grew slightly loose.
I was determined to get a tighter fit this time, and bare the break in period....seems to do the tight fit well so far.

Shipping to Canada was 45 bucks or so...

After a few days of riding the helmet isn't as super tight as it was when I got it, which is now perfect. Barely notice the visor on the highway.

The cons:
The chin strap is a little fiddly.
The visor distorts the view in one or two spots which is weird when I have to go into tricky terrain.

Other than that I still like it much!
