Top Quality
27 July 2025 by Alan R
I bought this helmet as it was 'low profile'.
I've never had any Merlin products before.
I must say it's first class quality.
The graphics look superb & are high gloss. The helmet itself is very light & the interior has a quality feel to it.
The first trip turned into a 12 hour ride & the helmet was as comfortable as when I first put it on.
It comes with a peak, so don't buy one separately like I did ??

Merlin Blackbird - Racer Black
- Fibreglass composite shell
- Fully removable and washable interior
- Five shell sizes: XS-S, M, L, XL-2XL, 3XL-4XL
- Double D-Ring closure
- Suited for intermediate oval head profiles
- Customisable with peak, visor, goggles or sunglasses (sold separately)
- Approximately 1000g (Size Medium)
The fibreglass composite shell of the Blackbird creates a light and strong open face helmet that passes the ECE 22.06 certification with ease, allowing it to bend and withstand more strain, absorbing impact energy much more efficiently.
Catering to various head sizes and shapes, while specifically accommodating intermediate oval profiles, enjoy unparalleled comfort, tailored precisely across five shell and EPS liner sizes.
Set this vintage jet helmet up with either goggles and secure with the snap stud rear strap, slot in sunglasses through the arm channel cut into the pads or click on a peak or bubble visor for a truly customisable look.
