I have an IXS Trigger FF, and one feature that I appreciate that I don't think was covered or mentioned in this TLD review is the adjustability of the dial clamp at the back. Is it adjustable (up & down) on the TLD? The ability to move the clamp up & down really helped me tailor the fit of the Trigger FF.
When I was purchasing my FF I wanted to prioritize fit, and after trying on a few different brands it was IXS and Smith that fit my head the best (the other brands I tried were Bell & Fox - the LBS I was at did not have any FF TLD helmets). It was the Fidlock buckle on the IXS that made me choose it over the Smith Mainline.
The simplicity and ease of use of the Fidlock is not something I ever thought I needed when I started looking for a new FF helmet, but now that I have experienced it, it would be very hard to go back to a D-ring style closure.
It's nice to know that there is another option out there when it comes time to replace my Trigger FF.
