LS2 MX 700 Subverter
So epic fail on finding an MX 470 in my size.
Finally found soemone in Australia with stock of the MX700....supposed to be the repalcement for the MX470. $250 delivered seemed a good price to me....here it is.... Helmet 1.jpg Helmet 2.jpg Pro's over my MX470: Black fabric on the liner....won't look scungy after a few rides Visor screws look more substantial Better paint finish Negatives: Additional vents in the rubber above the chin guard ...WTF for? Not much coloure choice from the distributor here....got the "Dayglo Derek" scheme Neutral: Fits just the same as the MX470 Yet to ride in it ....will give you a report when I do

Generally riding in dry dusty conditions.
Already a negative that the helmet doesn't have any foam behind the main vent at the front of the chin bar. The additional vents on the rubber above the chin bar just seem to be another way of dust and dirt to get in my face!http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif

First ride in the new helmet on the weekend
No negatives , does everything the MX 470 did. One positive I noticed was that although the same size (XS) the cheek pads seemed to have more "give" and I didn't get hamster cheeks / sore jaw the way I did with the 470 All up - no complaints!

Good to hear. I'll probably buy one after my 470 is ready for replacement.
About the lack of foam in the front vents and such... with dust I haven't noticed any difference compared to any other helmet I've ever worn. I've run Shoei, Klim, Oneal, Kali, and my current LS2 MX470. I ride in the Sonoran desert (Southern Arizona) and it's dusty probably 99% of the year. Even if there was a difference dust wise I would still go for any extra cooling I can get.

True , not noticed much more dust than usual .....just think the foam insert as per my last non LS2 helmet would be a good addition.
If it was removeable you'd have a choice to install or not. I'm with you , it's not a deal breaker and I'd also still buy it for the ventshttp://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/images/smilies/cool.gif
