I believe those are the same as the 509 Evolution helmets.

No they are not the same.The afx helmet is a lot weaker.I could flex the the afx helmet with my hands.I looked at the afx helmet at haydays last year and ended up going with a 509.

did some more in-depth research and found that this helmet may not be what im looking for. so i stumbled across a sweet deal on the Klim F-4 helmet ($199.99 @firstplaceparts.com) so i will re-ask the question. thoughts on this helmet???

Its a very good helmet, and a great price.

i have the F-4 helmet - great helmet. Lots of venting, comes with a wind shell for inside if really cold out. Fits great. I have 509 sinister googles and they fit perfect.

Stands upto hards hits too - took a spill 2 years ago and landed face/shoulder first on hard pack - a little chip is all in the breather vent.

Overall - great helmet

get 509 helmet with 509 goggles, worth the $

I know it is hard to do somtimes, but I highly reccomend trying on different helmets from a show or somwhere with many choices. I have found that I am only comfortable in a limited # of brands/styles. I run a fox motorcross helmet, or a lazer full face, but lazer got bought by agv, and now their sheilds suck. I have read many complaints about klim helmets, which suprises me, because I love klim stuff. Everthing I wear is klim except the helmet + goggles.
