Coming from a motocross background, 100% has taken the mountain bike industry by storm. In only a few years, the easily recognizable logo has found its way onto many pro and recreational athletes in the form of gloves and eyewear. For 2015, they will be releasing a lightweight full-face along with an expanded range of glasses:

The 100% Aircraft downhill helmet has been teased since Interbike 2014, since then we’ve seen it used by the Lapierre Gravity Republic. Loic Bruni has been showing it off with his matching kit and bike on some podiums this year already. It features a brilliant looking carbon shell with a relatively significant set of vents. No details yet but it should be on the lighter, better ventilated side of DH helmets. Therefore, it will presumably be a popular choice for enduro racing.

The Aircraft Helmet will be available Fall 2015.
