Good Value

Great helmet for the price, very light, and 4 star sharp rating. A few problems: - Lining is red which is not shown in picture. - Visor opening lip located in the middle and is very stiff to open. - Visor only has two settings, closed or fully open. - Weight of medium helmet is 1300g +- 50g not the 1200 advertised. - Helmet is rather noisy Having said that, for the price it is a great helmet and I think you'd struggle to get anything better for only £50.

Tolerable deal

After a jet helmet on scooter, more serious helmet needed on cat "A" motorbike, during the autumn time managed training and exams. I was looking for a reliable and reasonable first flip up helmet, where SHARP tests manufacturer background reliability and market feedback has been considered as key points. I bought same size (L) helmet as my previous jet helmet (head is 59), where customers feedback about the size question also considered (can be smaller the size L than other ls). No problem, worst case my friend should get it, he has bigger head than my! :) Points about purchase in 5 stars range: -payment easy and quick, 5 days later helmet in my hands. Shop service 5 stars. -Get in hand first impression of helmet as a big one: 4 stars. -Wearing comfort: 4 stars, let see how changing after a while, especially the padding. As it is person related, might be tried the helmet before purchase (not in my case). -Noise protection, 4 stars. Behind the expectations. Very sensitive on head position during ride. -Rain protection: 5 stars -Clear visor: 5 stars. Clear view without view distortion. -Grey sun visor: 2 stars!! Not even surface of lens causing view distortion. I will keep and let for that money. Operation OK. -Handling of flip up mechanism, locking and ratcheted chin strap is 4-5 stars. -Using in rainy and cold weather in city without "pinlock", the partly opened clear visor functioning quite well. Should I buy again? Yes. I suggest to buy "pinlock" with it, as that feature of helmet makes it really good once. Have a nice ride.

Nice helmet

Not heavy, good finish, sunvisor works well, flip mechanism is simple. However, it was the wrong size for me. I've always worn 58, so I ordered size M and it was squeezing my head and jaw. After one hour I gave up, contacted a friend and sold it to him. Just to emphasise: not a problem of the helmet, I ordered the wrong size. Helmet is good, solid and price is tempting. Buy the right size and be happy.
