SixSixOne Evo AM helmet


SixSixOne’s top-end open-face helmet uses a ‘Contego EPS’ liner that’s claimed to provide superior impact absorption to standard foam. Large, plush pads mean the Evo AM is one of the most comfortable helmets on test, but it didn’t make us too hot-headed, thanks in part to the large vents at the front of the lid. The BOA retention system extends most of the way around the head and fits securely. It sits relatively high above the ears though, making the EVO AM feel a little shallow when combined with the large pads. Also, it doesn’t offer any vertical adjustment, although this didn’t cause us any issues. The peak is fixed in position too. Adjusting the no-nonsense chin strap is easy and its ‘Fidlock’ magnetic closure system works refreshingly well. A MIPS version is available for an extra $60.
