Great helmet

Comfy and well ventilated. Got a pinlock insert for the visor and it's essential for colder months. Fairly quiet, not the level of a shoei but still good.

Quality crash helmet

Quality crash helmet, as we all know the sky's the limit when it comes to the price you can pay for a crash helmet. This one didn't break the bank and is comfortable and comes with pin lock visor and internal sun visor. All in all really pleased with the product.

Fantastic helmet - if a little bit noisy.

Gold rated, pin lock anti fog insert, flip down sun visor, sleek and stylish.
Quite noisy so definitely need earplugs, especially when on motorways.

Excellent Value!
16 June 2025 by Mike
A stylish helmet for under £200, what's not to love, it may be light but certainly doesn't feel cheap. For me it fits perfectly & comfortable to wear for decent length of time. Vents give decent air flow. Visor offers good peripheral vision, have yet to fit the pinlock lens, will get back to you on that one later. Have had more expensive helmets in the past that haven't felt as good as this one.
Style: Space White / Red Fluo

This is a great comfortable helmet. The more expensive k7 is better all round but I’m extremely impressed by the k3, it’s light and the internal sun visor is a must. I’ve had lots of k5’s and the k3 or 7 are just as good. K3 for everyday and k7 for the weekends or the track.

Awesome helmet for value

I bought this helmet about two weeks ago I’ve had it on serval times now and has been absolutely spot on can’t fault it…. It Is easy to put my glasses on whilst helmet is on as I’m new to wearing glasses I bought this helmet because it has the slots for your glasses to go in and they have gone in every time faultless would recommend this helmet to anyone.
Also comes with pin lock which is even better unlike other helmets where you have to buy it separately.. Awsome helmet for value

An AGV icon, evolving towards perfection. K3 is AGV's full-face road helmet that takes all the characteristics of a versatile, safe helmet to outstanding levels. It offers safety for all, at the highest levels - the shell made of high-resistance thermoplastic material, the multi-density EPS and the details such as the collarbone-protection profile and the protective visor allow K3 to obtain the strict ECE 22.06 homologation. Due to the AGV Extreme Safety construction protocol, K3 meets the requirements of the most recent international standards and then some. Its strength lies in its versatility. K3 is designed to put in its best performance in all situations. The built-in sun visor, which can be operated conveniently with gloves on, assists when it's too bright, and doesn't block the front ventilation when it's in the rest position. The Pinlock Max Vision antifog system guarantees maximum visibility even on the wettest and coldest days, when the temperature difference between the environment and the inside of the helmet could cause the visor to fog up dangerously. Not with K3. The Ultravision visor also guarantees a 190° horizontal field of vision, so you can see obstacles, the road and everything in front of you earlier and better. K3 is prepared for the installation of communication systems. The Eyewear Ready interior design allows you to comfortably wear your eyeglasses or sunglasses while riding. Comfort boosts performance. The aerodynamic profile of the K3 is designed to achieve a dynamic weight of zero at a cruising speed of 130 km/h. It means lower weight and less strain on the neck muscles, for maximum concentration on riding. The interiors, made of 2DRY material with rapid absorption of sweat and moisture, can be customised, to personalise the fit to the full and maximise how comfortable it feels. The ventilation achieves maximum efficiency through the air vents at the front and on the chin, precise and easy to operate with gloves on. The practical micrometric steel closing system permits quick, safe adjustment of the helmet fastening.
