Description: The Switchblade has become standard equipment for the riders who are re-writing the rules of mountain biking. New school riding demands a helmet that is lightweight, but protective. Ventilated, but rugged. The Switchblade delivers versatility in the form of an easily removable, sub-frame mounted faceguard. 18 massive vents let cooler heads prevail even during torturous uphill slogging. Other goodies include the super-stable Roc Loc 3, a POV™ visor and Coolmax® pads.
