Oneal 3 series helmet

I have used Oneal for my go-to dirt bike helmet for many years. The Oneal 3 Series helmets are probably the best looking, most comfortable, and highest quality helmets that i have seen under the $150 price point. I currently use this helmet, and love it. The paint has proven durable, as I have bashed through many tree branches and put the graphics durability to the ultimate test. I have many hours on my 3 Series, and I am officially a fan. The cheek cushions are plush, moisture wicking, and easily removed. On top of that, I have seen the 3 Series in action during many crashes. In short, I highly recommend the Oneal 3 Series for many reasons.

The Oneal 3 series weighs 1500 grams which feels very light. The visor has great adjustability which i really like. As you can see in the video i run my visors really high so they don't block my upward field of view. I have a lot of extra weight added to my helmet, as you can see. The hands free hydration is fed through the side vent. There are many angles on this helmet, so flat camera mounting surfaces are hard to come by.

The cheek pads are removable(shown left), and you can easily take them out and wash them if you aren't like me and you actually wash yours.

​Fitment is maybe just a tad snug. I bought a large which fits me great, and I can some times wear mediums. Something to note is that the Oneal 5 Series seems to fit larger. I would prefer a medium if I upgraded to the Oneal 5 Series (I have both helmets, but my 5 Series doesn't quite have all of my equipment mounted yet, so i don't wear it often). The vents work well, and like all dirt bike helmets I have worn the vents are always open (not adjustable). 

In conclusion, I would absolutely trust the Oneal 3 Series to protect my head. My brother went down hard on the Moab, Utah slick rock and the Oneal 3 Series he was wearing saved his life. The helmet broke, but did exactly as it was designed to do. Price point is important to most riders, and you simply can't go wrong with Oneal in this regard. At $120 the 3 Series is an absolute steal. It proves to be a great option in the area's of protection, cost effectiveness, durability, comfort, design, weight, and ventilation; What more could you ask for in a helmet!?
