Form and function

I recently got back into biking after many years- mainly because my son was threatening to hit the tarmac with a 'ped', so I needed a new helmet. I love the look ( and safety) of a full face but really prefer the open face ones. After a fair bit of searching I decided on the D205 for these reasons: it is light, looks OK has a longish visor and the drop down sun visor. And I didn't need a second mortgage to buy it. On the road it does let some wind in of course but also keeps most of the weather out. The profit will be on warmer days running with the visor up or taken off. If I had to be very critical, I would say that the optical quality of the sun visor could be a bit better and my son says it makes me look old!!! However can you trust the judgement of someone who would go out in the snow with plimsoles and a T shirt on? So I would say the 205 is a comfortable lid with a good mix of form and function, but probably not for folk that go above 70mph.

Top quality

This helmet is amazing value for money. Was really surprised that the price was not a lot more expensive. The quality is just as good as the more expensive ones in the market. The comfort, style and safety features all exceeded my expectations. Would highly recommend this .

Good but flawed

A good lid for the price, well finished and comfortable, don't buy it for the drop down visor though, its pretty useless, too much wind gets around it into your eyes and its too close fitting to wear glasses underneath. Worth the money but next time id just buy a simple lid and use sunglasses / goggles.
