First Ride: Bluegrass Vanguard Core Helmet (Product Review)

Overall Review
With more and more riders looking for extra protection without the extra heft and heat, the fullface helmet market has seen a lot of development over the past few years. Italian protection specialist Bluegrass is throwing its hat (helmet) in the ring too, with the all-new Vanguard. It features plenty of vents, meets and exceeds the ASTM downhill standard for impact energy absorption, and weighs in at a scant 725 grams. We’ve had it out on the trails to see what gives, keep reading to learn more! Bluegrass Vanguard Core Highlights In-mould polycarbonate shell with EPS liner MIPS C2 rotational...

Ultra Comfortable Back Protector: Bluegrass Seamless Lite Review (Product Review)

Last year, we tested the Armour Lite back protector from Bluegrass with good results.

Tested: Bluegrass Legit Carbon Full Face Helmet (Product Review)

Overall Review
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...
