Urge Endur-O-Matic helmet

Extensive coverage makes this the most full-face-esque trail helmet we’ve worn. It extends furthest down behind the ears, and while the lack of ventilation leads to a hot ride, the continuous shell of the Urge inspires confidence. Be aware that it sizes up large – we wore the biggest size but felt like it could fit a larger (or more spherical) head, perhaps due to the lack of lateral padding. While the flexible peak is among the longest here and isn’t adjustable, it didn’t obstruct our view and doesn’t feel like it would cause trouble in a crash. The BOA retention system extends well below the skull, providing a secure fit without digging in, although it can be a challenge getting it tight enough. And hats off to Urge for making the helmet from mainly recycled materials. A MIPS version is available for $30 more. Weight 349g Sizing S/M, L/XL Price $135

Urge Archi-Enduro helmet

New to Australia, Urge helmets are soon to land and we really like the look of the new Archi-Enduro full face lid.
