Bluegrass Legit Carbon Full Face Helmet

When Italian protection specialists Bluegrass set out to design a new high-end full face helmet, they worked heavily with their roster of pro athletes to test and refine their concept in an iterative approach based on real world experiences and feedback. We saw early prototypes appear in the UCI DH World Cup on the heads of Sam Blenkinsop, Tracey Hannah, and Mick Hannah, leading up to the release of the final product in September 2018. Curious to see what they had come up with, we took delivery of one of the first production samples a few weeks ago now, and we’re here to give you our impressions. Scroll down for details and a video review.

About The Reviewer

Johan Hjord - Age: 45 // Years Riding MTB: 13 // Weight: 190-pounds (87-kg) // Height: 6'0" (1.84m)

Johan loves bikes, which strangely doesn’t make him any better at riding them. After many years spent practicing falling off cliffs with his snowboard, he took up mountain biking in 2005. Ever since, he’s mostly been riding bikes with too much suspension travel to cover up his many flaws as a rider. His 200-pound body weight coupled with unique skill for poor line choice and clumsy landings make him an expert on durability - if parts survive Johan, they’re pretty much okay for anybody. Johan rides flat pedals with a riding style that he describes as "none" (when in actuality he rips!). Having found most trail features to be not to his liking, Johan uses much of his spare time building his own. Johan’s other accomplishments include surviving this far and helping keep the Vital Media Machine’s stoke dial firmly on 11.
