Nice finish on the outside but inside is not so good, liner is thin and hard. Haven’t worn it in hot weather yet but can imagine it making your head sweat a bit. Having said that it’s much cheaper than premium competition but it looks good and hopefully does the job

Great looking helmet and quality but been a long time since I wore an open-face helmet so takes getting used to the wind noise again but no complaints about the product and service from SBS. Good price also.

Bought solely for the colour and retro looks. Nicely built and to the latest high ECE 2206 specification. Without a drop down sun visor this allows the helmet to be as small as possible coupled with the 5 different shell sizes across the range. I have a 58cm head so accordingly take a medium and this is a correct tight fit from new, further use will see the lining and foam compact slightly to give a more comfortable but looser fit. The only negative point for me is the lack of a goggle keeper attachment popper loop on the rear of the helmet. I have fitted a peak to the 3 poppers at the front and this provides good shading from an overhead sun.
