I have had my 9.9 MX for 3 seasons now. I like it a lot more that the RED I had for a while last year. The removeable vents are awesome and really cool your head while spring skiing. I also like the removeable ear pads, which can be replaced with Tune-Ups (headphones). I have not landed on my head with this helmet, so I cannot say if it cracks or not. I am looking at an OVO to replace this one for next season. Oh yeah, my Figments stay on top well... but my A Frames slide off the top often. There is a snap in th back so you will not loose the goggles, but it can sometimes be a pain in the ass.
