Review: Troxel Legacy Helmet

The Troxel Legacy Helmet was the first helmet I ever rode in. I had one from 2003 until 2007. And then purchased another, which I wore from 2008 to 2012. I also, at one point, was wearing this helmet when I picked up riding again as an adult. But then realized how old the helmet was and replaced it with a Troxel Rebel.

 

Side note: It is recommended to replace your helmet every 5 years and/or after a fall impacting your head. This recommendation is in place because the materials in helmets can deteriorate over time, especially if exposed to extreme temperatures.

 

I quite liked my Legacy helmet with the exception that it made me look like a marshmallow head. But it was comfortable and served me well. I even showed with it, using a shiny black helmet cover that stretched over it.

 

My Troxel Legacy was a medium size. I have a 22 inch head circumference.

 

The visor is attached by Velcro, but I never had a problem with it falling off or not staying in place.

 

The Troxel Legacy is priced at $59.95 from SmartPak & Dover Saddlery.

 

Online listing: Weighing only 12.4 ounces, the Troxel® Legacy Helmet offers a flattering slim profile and classy hunt cap styling. Seven air vents help keep you cool as you ride. Troxel's easily adjustable GPS2™ soft-touch dial and the adjustable, washable Flip-Fold™ liner allow for a comfortable fit. The perfect choice for riders who want value and quality in a schooling helmet. ASTM F1163-15/SEI Certified.

 

For this price, I would rather buy a sleeker more "stylish" helmet of the same protection level. (Which I later did, that review to come.)

 

The Legacy is great helmet for teens, as it is a schooling helmet. And comes in some fun colors and designs.
