Fox Racing is proud to announce the release of the all-new Proframe helmet, on sale worldwide Friday, March 3rd, 2017.
Designed to seamlessly blend the worlds of protection and breathability, the Proframe ushers in a new era of confidence inspiring performance for the All Mountain trail rider. The key feature allowing for this hybrid performance is the patent pending Fox integrated chin bar. This offers certified downhill level protection while maintaining nearly open face airflow, lightweight climbing breathability, and full-face protection for aggressive descending. Combined with the proven Fox Varizorb multi-density EPS and 24 total vents, the Proframe is one of the lightest full-face helmets in the world today.

This looks great. But at 750 grams its only 200 grams lighter than my fullface. While its a significant improvement for something you wear on your head. A 200 gram saving is hardly enough for it to be touted as an all day climb friendly full face. Not when its STILL double the weight of any half lid.
And at R5,400? I'd rather have the versatility of a convertible lid.
