Simpson Helmets

The helmet is all about looks and boy does it look great build quality is good although it does come up big in size and padding is sparse but who cares when you look this good, just consider going a size smaller than your normal fit another note a big thanks to sportsbikeshop

Very comfortable and i don't like a heavy helmet it hurt my neck after a ride out but with the Simpson it's a light helmet

Great fitting helmet if you need more of a long oval head shape fit like Shoei but don't want to pay Shoei prices which is a rare fit to find in my experience.

Along with the looks the best thing about this helmet is the huge viewing angles from within. The visor is so wide and tall that your vision really isn't restricted in any direction at all.
The internal drop down visor isn't the darkest I've had but it does the job and best of all it comes right down and doesn't get in your peripheral vision as much as some others I've had. I've even found it's still useful with a dark visor to really protect from those sunset rays but it also give a sort of polarised look making things appear clearer even though they are slightly darker.

The only downside is the wind noise. It's not the loudest helmet but it's certainly nowhere near the quietest. I'd say it's on the noisier side of average BUT with earplugs it's fine and I always wear earplugs anyway.

The internal cut outs for speakers and wiring make installing a com unit that bit easier and tidier.

Swapping the visors is the easiest I've ever seen. Absolutely fool proof and fast but secure with it's locking tab on either side.
The visor has multiple positions and are all solid and stay where you've put them and it clicks fully closed nice and secure.

I'd say sizing is somewhere between bang on and half a size large depending on your head shape so if you are stuck between 2 sizes it may be wise to try the smaller one first.

Simpson do sell different sized cheek pads for this helmet to customise your fit but sportsbikeshop don't stock them (boooooooo).

Ventilation is fantastic! There are so many vents that you will have no issues whatsoever in summer heat but they all close, too.

This helmet is fantastic! Fits like a glove and accomodates my prescription glasses. I'd recommend this one to anyone who also wears glasses and doesn't have sunglasses or contact lenses. 5 ***** Stars!

Didn’t know which helmet to pick as my first bike helmet and it’s perfect. Not aload of wind noise and comfy!

Very impressed with the quality not the most comfortable but I would say top quality for the price
