UNBOXING NEXX WED.3 X-PRO CARBON KEYO: What you need to know

[@jobta]

Heya, as someone who owns the Wed.3 zero pro and a Schubert C5 there was something that stand out to me when comparing both so let me just give you a tip that made a big difference for me: In my experience, the top vents on the sides of the Wed3 are very noisy. I always ride with them closed. The top center one is fine though. I also have the X-Com Pro and it works quite well. I thought the mic placement would be an issue (it sits close to the forehead) but it actually isn't. Mine came with the dark visor and then I also got an iridum blue. Love both. Also, pricewise they are way cheaper and better than the options I have available for my Schuberth helmet. I love all the small extras included in the package. The only detail I think wasn't quite right is the camera mount in the front not having the nut that holds the screw in place. But it's really a minor thing. I hope you are enjoying it!

Now I don't do "unboxing's" so this is a first, yes I was a little excited, I'm very lucky to be a Nexx Rider for 2024 / 2025. Any questions or comments, don't hesitate to drop a comment below!

[@TwoWheelerSparky]

I do like how they have the camera mounts and pin lock! Maybe I'll upgrade my helmet one day. A foggy visor drives me crazy 😁

[@ADVBrett]

@@TwoWheelerSparky You need to do that sooner rather than later!!

[@TwoWheelerSparky]

Nexx hook Mark and I up. A trio of helmets, now thats promotion 😉

[@ADVBrett]

@TwoWheelerSparky That would be awesome!! You certainly need a new lid for that 450 too!!

[@TwoWheelerSparky]

@@ADVBrett I actually emailed them a while back, as there is one colour scheme called "Grey/Neon MT" funnily enough.

[@throttleridingadventures]

Nice upload 100% the intercome ph call i got from you was surprising clear at 60 k/ph no way could tell you were on a bike nexx may be my next helmet

[@ADVBrett]

This is going to be the way to go for sure mate!! I'm loving this lid!

The Africa Twin poster in the background 🥲

[@ADVBrett]

@@Radbo_Outdoors Hahaha yup, a special birthday gift from a couple of bloody good mates and riding buddies. You don't miss much Radbo!!!

[@TRAVERSE_ADV]

I've been running the X.WED2 for 3 years. It's a great helmet. MAP is in my backyard haha.

[@ADVBrett]

@@TRAVERSE_ADV Awesome!! I'm just in the process of organising a trip down there next month! Can't wait to come and check out the store. Love this helmet so far!! So practical and bloody comfortable!!

[@TRAVERSE_ADV]

@@ADVBrett yeah Nexx was hard to find in store when I got mine. The place I got it from no longer stocks them. They come with everything. The foam holds up well in the cheeks. The finish and the Pin lock still holding up well even after years of getting dusted offroad. Theres plenty of good riding down here. The Highlands is fairly gated but has swallowtail and Wombeyan caves for the scenic rides. The good riding is another 45 minutes or so down the range closer to home on the coast. There are some good loops of varying skill level, if you want a guide, lettuce know.

[@ADVBrett]

Will let you know for sure!! Ill be in for a visit indeed! Go and see Nic and Shannon at MAP and upgrad that Nexx lid!

[@OnurKennethYumurtaci]

Always have been curious about peaks. I understand their function and their drawbacks, and given that many good touring helmets also come with a drop down sunshield, is it really worth having a peak for that one time in 4 years someone riding before you flings mud while trying to get unstuck? I would really have wished they update the Vilijord, as I've found a flip-up much more useful at stops, in shops, and in all circumstances where I need to talk. Just to be clear, I have helmets with peaks (a Scorpion 9000 something or other and an ADX-2, an Arai XD-4 and an LS2 Pioneer) bu have simply not been in a situation (i.e. motocross or a group ride through the Siberian tundra) where I've needed a peak.

[@ADVBrett]

I find it handy all the time, restricts sun glare when needed and like you say, any mud, dirt debris off other bikes in front. Certainly looks better to but that's just an opinion of mine.

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

Nice skid lid mate. Looks nice and I'm surprised they include camera mounts. Thats very impressive

[@ADVBrett]

@@FlatBrokeAdventures With so many riders getting into social media and KZbin, Nexx have made it so easy to set up the cameras so you can get the helmet and record your ride!!

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@ADVBrett very nice. I'm interested to see what you think

[@ADVBrett]

@@FlatBrokeAdventures Will do a short term "first impressions" run down after about 500kms then long term review. Pretty good so far though!

[@FlatBrokeAdventures]

@@ADVBrett good to hear. I'm glad you're liking it

[@thebigw3377]

Thought a cute little fascinator with a hair clip might be more suitable for a KTM rider 😂

[@ADVBrett]

OUCh hhahahahaha

[@luisarroyo6757]

Hi, does this one comes with an extra Smoke shield? and the extension for the visor? does it fit the past nexx x com 2? Thanks!!

[@ADVBrett]

@@luisarroyo6757 Hey Luis! Yes the carbon comes with an iridium visor and the Wed.3 is all ready to go with the Nexx X-Com Pro.

[@luisarroyo6757]

@@ADVBrett Tanks a lot!!!

[@markfranciscabansag7948]

have you try it while raining? what is your experience?

[@ADVBrett]

Not yet but this week I've got a 3 day tour and expecting to ride though some storms and heavy rain on each day so I'll do a review of that as soon as we finish the tour.

[@jasonr428]

@@ADVBrett How did it do in the rain?

[@ADVBrett]

@jasonr428 Hey mate, very good in the rain, just remember to shut all the vents!! The visor is pretty good, I did put some Rained on it too though

[@BigDaveTALKS]

well unfortunately I will have to wait till next year some time. We are planning to move and my wife would...not be happy, if she saw a new helmet show up at this moment. She already gives me grief about the 5 I already have. Not to mention I actually managed to skate by with my T7 exhaust upgrade. That was ordered before we officially decided to move though. I have a 59cm nugget, is the sizing chart pretty accurate?

[@ADVBrett]

@@BigDaveTALKS Sizing chart is certainly solid!! So you're moving?? Closer to better riding locations I hope!!

[@BigDaveTALKS]

@@ADVBrett good deal now I'm really looking forward to ordering one. No it't actually about 10 miles away BUT, it will be on 17 acres. So I can make my own riding trails or track. With 9 grandkids I highley doubt I can talk the wife into moving out of Texas 😆😞

[@ADVBrett]

@@BigDaveTALKS Bugger!! That's a lot of acherage though!!

[@BigDaveTALKS]

@@ADVBrett yes sirrrr! It will be awesome. Except the interim of moving. Not looking forward to that at all.

[@ADVBrett]

@@BigDaveTALKS Yeah moving sux. There's not enough whiskey in the world that could make moving pleasant

[@RandomRants525]

Nice brain bucket mate. Camera mounts are cool. Just don't think ya Maverick when ya flip the tint down. Rodger that Goose.

[@ADVBrett]

hahahaha best response ever!!! Bloody legend!

[@RandomRants525]

@ADVBrett Oarrr Shucks Mister. Ya gunna make me bwush. My turn for a bit of bad luck today. But I'll make up for it tomorrow. Vidios called One of Dem days.

[@ADVBrett]

@@RandomRants525 I'll keep an eye out for it!

[@ashleymuir1046]

Like my helicopter helmet visor

[@ADVBrett]

Just like my MSA pilot lid, bloody awesome!!

[@ashleymuir1046]

Did you scratch it when you put the new bike on its side

[@ADVBrett]

Nope, managed to save it! Did the ol'd shoulder roll and only rolled once this time!

[@thelonewolf666]

over 1000 bucks for a helmet is ridiculous

[@ADVBrett]

I appreciate that and it's good to have a difference of opinion too. I have no problems paying over $1000 for a helmet and it's not just because of the statement "What price do you put on your head?" I've seen how the Nexx helmets have been developed and produced, they're hand made from products and materials local to the factory. Nexx is also a company that has listened to the feedback of their customers and have actively made changes to the new line of helmets which has also made a massive difference in quality and comfort. They've also focused on the safety features of their helmets using the X-Foam and Anti-vibration inner and outer EPS system. So these are just a few features that I'm really impressed with, no doubt other helmets have some similar features, I've been a wearer of high end adventure helmets by Shoei and Arai, they were great but they still didn't have features I was looking for like the inner sun visor. So yes, over $1000 is a high end helmet and there is certainly a number of other helmet manufacturers that do cheaper helmets. Where I draw the line is paying $2000 for a jacket, so I know where you're coming from when it comes to certain ADV items being over priced!
