Shark Helmets

Comfortable for me

But the lights are very good

I had read good reviews of this helmet and ultimately decided to buy one. In the past I have bought shoei helmets, but they have become very expensive. This is just as comfortable and easily accommodates my glasses, which I now need to wear for riding. The pinlock visor supplied was easy to fit, and I really can't fault the helmet for less than half the price of my previous. Good service from Sportsbikeshop as always. Would definitely recommend them.

Wanted a carbon fibre crash helmet for a long time. My Simpson helmet was one I wanted, but turned out to be very noisy, and fastening the DD style strap is short and fiddly to use. The Shark carbon is an aesthetic delight, light and feels quality. The fastening strap is slightly longer so easier to use with arthritic fingers. The DD style fastening might be regarded as the safest but not my favourite, I much prefer the seatbelt style fastener that was popular a few years ago.

My first ride was in horrible cold, wet conditions. The lid is very quiet and peripheral vision good. The retractable chin guard was a pleasant surprise although it seems too eager to retract. The internal visor is better than on the Simpson, although the mechanism isn't easy to locate whilst riding. I also think the visor tab is too small, But I guess I will adjust to both these issues with use. The other issue I noticed straight away in cold weather are the draught blowing up the side of my face/ears, necessitating the use of snood to keep my ears warm! However, in summer this will be an advantage...lol Overall, and given the massive end of season discount, I am pleased with this helmet.

Bit of a delay as they were waiting for stock but it arrived eventually, well packaged and simple to fit ....the improvement in vision is amazing ! Excellent product.
