Couple of things I don't care for:
1: no decent place to mount a GoPro.
2: zero customer service. I emailed them asking about a solution to #1 and to inquire about the availability of different thickness cheek pads. No response.
6D will be my next helmet.
Did you ever find any place to mount a go pro? Only place I could thing of was under the visor (I'm seeing more and more guys doing that)...but havent tried yet....

Eventually I used double sided 3M foam tape on both sides of the ridge to "build up" a flat spot. Actually works just fine, but I can't help but think that LS2 missed an opportunity there.
My mistake, Kyle Chisholim
And I know that MTB and MX crashes can be different...but the 6D helmet that low, and the MIPS helmets all so high really makes me think the 6D tech is more marketing ploy than safety feature...
I can buy a MIPS helmet for $220 (like this LS2 helmet)...a 6D costs double that (on clearance), Triple at MSRP...
Is MIPS only a superior system in the MTB demo...but inferior in the MX demo? Or are there other reasons the 6D MTB helmet did so poorly (flaws that aren't there in their moto helmet?)
Nothing against Keefer...but he's no scientist...and nothing against 6D, but there is way to much bias for me to trust anything on their website. Or is there an independent test out there that I don't know about?
Edit: Those are honest questions...I'm not trying to be dismissive or sarcastic. I'd genuinely love to see an unbiased, well informed, well conducted test for MX helmets-just like that one for MTB helmets. Please point me in the right direction if one already exists. I haven't come across one.
According to pingree101 there was a test conducted but the poweres that be got involved quick and ended anything else about it.
That said, I wear a 3x bell, if I could find a big enough LS2, I’d buy one myself

In the past, I've grooved out the 3M foam tape to fit the top of my (old) Fly F2 carbon helmet. Worked well and never had any issues.
