Great idea mate.
Nothing new to for headware, using a Giro remedy and Addidas goggles. Apart from that liking my Troy Lee gloves that are sadly now hole filled (lasted well though!)
How do you rate the THE One INK Helmet helmet? Have been looking at them.

I'm quite chuffed with my Troy Lee XC gloves (why call a DH glove 'XC' btw?  ), though they don't prevent blisters!

I'de rate it very well mate, seeing as though they went down by £30 on CRC like 2 days after i bought mine, its good value! looks awesome in real life, the graphics are insanely nice, light (not amazingly light, but its not carbon so i guess its as light as im gurna get without forking out a million quid for a carbon one). Really really comfy, slightly weird pad setup on the cheeks, but you get used to it after a bit. I havent had a proper ride in it yet, but so far, ventilation is awesome and comfy on the bike. 9.35/10 =)

I tried a giro and it looked like a huuuge melon on my head so bought the same helmet above. Wore it for a week in the alps and felt it was better vented than my Troy lee, maybe because the inner wick away sweat.
Buy a THE.
I gave in and paid 105 euros for some five tens !!, as I was fed up of my vans slipping off my pedals because of breaking bumps in morzine. Ive always thought they were over-rated and steered clear but they are amazing once you get used to them.
Superstar brake pads off ebay £25 for 4 sets !! I know they got some bad reviews first off but I think theyve sorted it as mine felt sweet and lasted well. |

Troy Lee T-Bone Knee Pads. Loads of protection and very, very comfortable.
Stealth soled shoes. Best money I ever spent! |

As Jamie said it is huuge. Think pinball head (almost). The good points about it are its comfy and the goggles sit very well in it. Was looking at maybe a THE for a future upgrade. If not 661 are excellent value for dough in all areas really.
Got a 661 pressure suit and its brilliant quality and fit for the price.
