Brand
Bluegrass Rogue Core MIPS
About the brand Bluegrass is a little brother from the Italian MET brand, from origin a helmet maker founded in 1987 near lake Como in Italy. The Bluegrass brand is aimed at the BMX, Enduro and Downhill market where MET is more aimed at the general cyclist and roadie, and Bluegrass offers a wide range of protection. Although they have…
Bluegrass Skinny
Bluegrass has been on the market for quite some time now, and with their Skinny pads line ventured into the ‘hard to do right’ side of protectors. The skinny is available in both regular and D30 versions. We tried out the budget friendly regular pads. They are available in XS, S, M, L and XL sizes, with an accurate size…
Bluegrass SKINNY D3O Knee Pads
Bluegrass have recently launched a new swathe of protection and the knee and shin options are now many and varied. These are the Skinny D3O, but they are available without D3O and there are more substantial versions in the line up as well. The main padding is the D3O material which hardens on impact and this is curved into the…
Bluegrass Golden Eyes
For me, the mention of Golden Eyes reminds me instantly of either the 90's Bond film or hours wasted playing the Nintendo 64 game of the same name (yes, I know it's not exactly the same name). This helmet however, has very little to do with Pierce Brosnan or the Bond franchise, other than perhaps plenty of neat features and technology, so…
Bluegrass Eagle Wolverine Short
Padded shorts aren’t just for XC riders you know! Multi panelled and anatomically correct inserts where you need it most will help keep you from turning black on blue on the toughest of tracks. The lightweight Lycra construction and large mesh panels stop things from getting too hot, while silicone grippers on the legs prevent them from riding up. Sizing…
Bluegrass Grizzly Back & Shoulders D30
The clue's in the name with this one with d3o padding used to protect the back and shoulders. This super flexible material is perfect for body armour as it bends along the spine, following the natural curve of the body. The spine protector on the Grizzly is split into three segments for even better flexibility and is far longer than…
Bluegrass Super Bobcat Knee-Shin Guards
The Super Bobcat's are essentially an extension of the popular Bobcat kneepads. Fed up of having sore shins at the end of a days riding? Step forward the Super Bobcat. The extra padding sits just above the sock line so will soak up all big hits, even from the sharpest of pedals. The padding in the Super Bobcat comes courtesy…
Bluegrass Brave
Bluegrass was set up to fill a gap in the market, they set out to make affordable quality helmets that offered a top spec at a price that many could afford. At £135 the Brave is their top of the range lid. You won’t find any fancy carbon here, but it does feature a fibreglass composite shell, inside is an…
