AGV K3 Helmet RevZilla Opinion The AGV K3 Helmet is one of the newer options from AGV using the updated intermediate oval fit pattern developed for the GP Tech. To us it represents good value at under 200 and you can always get the Rossi graphic that jumps out at you which we find pretty novel. We found the AGV K3 to be reasonably light and balanced for a Polycarbonate / Resin shell. There are a level or two of helmets which become more technical as well as more of an investment from AGV as you go up, but if you are just looking for a solid everyday sport helmet the K3 could be a great option sitting along side other comparably price sport helmets.
This is the lightest helmet I have owned. I ordered a medium from the specs on the website but the was extremely tight so went with a large which was still snug but much more comfortable. The 3 provided airflow vents work really well to ventilate and the overall design provides a very snug and comfortable fit with good overall vision. Only nitpick would be the removable chin cover which feels like it would fall off during riding.

Thor Quadrant Knee Guard
Thor Quadrant Knee Guard Injection molded knee/shin armor for impact coverage. The perforated foam interior with stitchedin foam patella donut provides comfort and coverage while the complete edge binding and two elastic straps ensure a secure fit.
Bought these for extra knee protection during street riding. The fitting is not confidence inspiring as the two straps do not do much to hold down the knee cap guard. A third strap above the knee cap guard would make this a much better product. Overall good buy given the price. But if you plan on doing some street carving with constant heavy leans, look elsewhere.
Perforated, top grain drum-dyed leather backhand with a breathable Airprene wrist cuff Pittards WR-100X breathable, washable stretch leather palm with perforated finger panels and gel palm patches Molded 2-piece carbon fiber knuckle with an Airprene back panel combine with TPR finger armor to provide comfortable and flexible protection Pre-curved palm and fingers combine with articulated backhand and finger panels to reduce hand fatigue and improve dexterity Pittards pull tab and a secure hook and loop wrist closure allow the glove to be easily placed on the hand Soft, Bemberg interior lining
I bought these gloves mostly for the protective factor. The fit was good overall but the internal stitches in the glove are quite intrusive at the fingertips. This causes uneven stretching and discomfort during longer rides. I am waiting to see if the leather expands with use and the glove becomes more comfortable. They work well for short rides but overall not recommended if you're riding further than 50 miles.

I have been using the jacket for about 3 weeks now. The two removable layers are extremely useful for customizing comfort and airflow. The adjustable straps on the waists and elbows allow for a very snug and rideable fit. Airflow was excellent and allows proper cooling in even the hottest of conditions. The reflective material is a great safety feature for evening rides. My only wants with the jacket would be more coverage over the neck and heavier back protection, although they're merely nitpicks. Overall I'm very satisfied with the jacket.
