Bell MX-9 MIPS Marauder
I tried to use my old Bell Qualifier as a dual-sport\off-road helmet, but the goggles didn't fit in the eye port very well and I wanted something lighter and better vented...Since I was buying off-road gear, figured I might as well add a new brain bucket to the list
I'm going to make a video with a look at all my kit but since I had pics of the MX-9, I thought I'd show it off all new & shiny(before it ain't) and give my impressions. The MX-9's fit & finish are awesome and typical for Bell helmets the XL is a perfect fit for my head with a nice feeling interior that's removable & washable. The rest of my gear is black\grey in color so the Hi-Vis yellow should keep me a bit more visible on and off road.

Looks good, and the bright color is a good safety feature!

I'm sure it will be helpful, the black, white and grey kind of blend right into the winter foliage around here. I almost got clipped that day I made the last video. I was resting up against a tree and one of the other riders came screaming up and didn't see me to the last second....it was close. He said I was totally camouflaged ...lol

I like that helmet. Bells do not fit my strangely shaped head unfortunately.
