Well....
Those of you who had the unfortunate experience of ordering and never receiving a NeXL helmet didn't miss out on anything except their $160.
Last year, I bought a HeadTrip from Advanced Carbon Composites.
Very happy with it, but I should have ordered a L instead of a ML.
I gave it to my wife and picked up a $50 THH as a temporary until I could scrape together the $210 for another HeadTrip.
EVERYONE has always been raving about how light and how low-profile NeXL lids are, so when I found a merchant on eBay blowing out his remaining stock for $85, I figured "why not?"
It arrived today. The foam is very dense, the shell is very thin... weight? It's light. Not as light as the HeadTrip, but a bit lighter than the THH.
Now get this... the freaking thing is almost EXACTLY the same size as the THH, which is comparable to the Skid Lid. Minor "mushroom head" going on. Not happy. So that's $95 (with shipping) for the NeXL, $50 for the THH... I should have just put another HeadTrip on the plastic last spring
