The Evolution of the Lightweight Full-Face - Fox's Best Ventilated Full-Face to Date

Fox Racing created the lightweight, breathable full-face helmet category for enduro riders - recognising that the full protection of a full-face helmet needed to come with the ventilation and weight of a trail helmet to be practically wearable on extended riding days that include long climbs. The Proframe RS is the next evolution of this philosophy - Fox's best ventilated full-face helmet to date, building on the original Proframe's reputation with improved ventilation, MIPS Integra protection, and BOA fit system refinements that advance every aspect of the design.

This is the Large size in black - CPSC certified for the US market. The helmet is designed for enduro and aggressive trail riding where full-face protection is the appropriate choice for the descent character of the terrain but the rider must also manage climbs, portages, and extended efforts where a hot, poorly ventilated helmet becomes a significant comfort limitation.

  • Fox one-ups themselves with their best ventilated full-face helmet to date.
  • BOA® fit system for class leading fit and security
  • Mips Integra combines an EPP liner with the EPS layer and is designed to reduce rotational forces in a crash
  • 3-position adjustable visor compatible with goggle
  • Removable under visor GoPro mount included
  • Increased ventilation and decreased surface contact area improves cooling
  • Ionic+ anti-microbial liner and cheek pads to optimize fit and fight odor

MIPS Integra, BOA Fit System, and Ionic+ Liner

MIPS Integra is the specific implementation of MIPS rotational protection used in the Proframe RS - a design that combines the EPP (Expanded Polypropylene) liner with the EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) layer in a way that integrates the rotational protection function into the helmet's dual-density foam structure. This integration reduces rotational forces in a crash - the most common impact type in cycling - without requiring a separate low-friction slip layer that adds weight and can affect fit feel.

The BOA Fit System provides class-leading fit and security through a dial-based retention mechanism that adjusts the fit ring with one hand while wearing the helmet. For a full-face helmet where fit security is as important as comfort - a poorly fitting full-face can shift in a crash and reduce protection at the moment it is most needed - the precision and reliability of the BOA system is a meaningful safety and comfort contribution.

The Ionic+ antimicrobial liner and cheek pads are removable for washing and replacement - the antimicrobial material managing odour and moisture during use while the removable design allows thorough cleaning. The cheek pad thickness also contributes to the helmet's fit - different thickness cheek pads can be used to adjust the internal fit for different face widths.

Increased Ventilation, Reduced Surface Contact, and GoPro Mount

Increased ventilation and decreased surface contact area between the helmet and the rider's head are the primary comfort improvements in the Proframe RS over previous Proframe generations. Less surface contact means less of the helmet's interior is in direct contact with the head - improving airflow across the head surface during riding and reducing heat retention. Combined with the increased vent openings, the Proframe RS provides meaningfully better cooling for a full-face helmet than options that prioritise structural coverage over ventilation.

The three-position adjustable visor is designed for goggle compatibility - moving to three distinct positions that accommodate different goggle profiles and thicknesses without the goggle pushing the visor into an uncomfortable position or restricting its adjustment. A removable under-visor GoPro mount is included - allowing an action camera to be mounted cleanly to the helmet without an external bracket when the GoPro mount is in use.

FAQs

What MIPS system does the Fox Proframe RS use?

The Proframe RS uses MIPS Integra - a specific implementation that combines the EPP liner with the EPS layer to integrate rotational impact protection into the dual-density foam structure, designed to reduce rotational forces during a crash without a separate slip layer.

How does the BOA Fit System improve on a standard retention system for a full-face helmet?

The BOA system provides one-handed, on-the-fly fit adjustment through a single dial - tightening or loosening the fit ring while wearing the helmet. For a full-face helmet where a secure fit is critical for both comfort and protection in a crash, the precision and repeatability of the BOA system provides class-leading security that standard ratchet systems cannot match.

Is the GoPro mount included with the Proframe RS?

Yes. A removable under-visor GoPro mount is included - allowing an action camera to be mounted to the helmet without a separate accessory purchase.

How does the Proframe RS improve on ventilation compared to previous Proframe versions?

The Proframe RS increases the vent openings and decreases the surface contact area between the helmet interior and the rider's head - improving airflow across the head surface and reducing heat retention for better cooling during extended riding days that include climbs.

Is the liner removable and washable?

Yes. The Ionic+ antimicrobial liner and cheek pads are removable for washing and replacement - maintaining hygiene and fit comfort across the helmet's service life.
