Some facts about the new D3: - Only 100 grams heavier than the D2. - Is going to cost $450 American. - Released in October 2009. Overpriced? Ok, it is a lot of money, but imo it's a cheap life insurance.. I can pay anything for a good helmet. Few years ago a 661 did it's job and saved my life. Without it mah jaw would still be some where in the tall grass and I propably wouldnt have any brain activity. I dont regret putting that 250€ to that helmet and now days when I'm buying a helmet, I dont look at the prices..
