Tried several of helmets on different brands. Others did not suit my head. Fitted like a glove.

Great Helmet
18 Sep 2025 by David
Really nice helmet well designed, comfortable fit and easy to use with spectacles. I like the Pinlock screen supplied for the main visor, and the sun visor works well. Noise levels are in the same range as other helmets I've had, tolerable and earplugs help.
Airflow seems good, but I've not ridden in hot weather....currently early autumn here in North Yorkshire?
In summary...great helmet, good price....very quick (overnight ) delivery.
Thanks

Good spare

Decent spare helmet. Isn’t gold standard so wouldn’t risk on track days if the scrutinisers are eagle eyed. Quite noisy with the wind.

Great value helmet

Recently purchased this helmet after a long spell of not riding. Great value for money!!
As a glasses wearer the helmet does not put pressure on the arms of the glasses making it very comfortable, especially on long rides. It has great air circulation and is nice and quiet when riding. With the “pinlock” and flip down sun visor it offers everything I need for a comfortable ride.

AGV K3 - Rossi Winter Test 2019
27 Aug 2025 by Tony M
Went for this helmet for its good visibility, comfort, air flow and I can wear standard glasses with it. I have some neck problems so can't use a heavy helmet, but the weight of this helmet is fine. It's much quieter than my previous helmet (Marushin). Staff in the shop were very helpful and informative when approached, but they let me look around the store without any interference other than to ask if I was OK. I ordered the helmet in because it wasn't in the local store and it arrived within two days. I was able to try it on in store for as long as I needed, so very happy with the helmet and the service. The price of the helmet was excellent compared to other retailers.

Good lid

Great helmet for the price. Bargain and meets latest ECE22.06 safety standard.
Can’t beat SBS for price or value. Loads of help by staff who are all friendly, knowledgable and helpful.

This is my 2nd K3 helmet and it definitely has improved comfort and the inner padding has been upgraded however I feel that the wind noise is louder than my old lid. That being said I still prefer to wear this over my carbon hjc and Scorpion lids which were more expensive so overall a great lid at a decent price.

All around very good helmet no complaints

The helmet firts as expected and is very comfortable, it keeps the wind noise to a minimum and is light and easy on the neck. It came with a pinkock lens which was very very useful and has built in shades which is cool. Apsolutley worth the money

Tight to start but eased off after a few rides
Sun visor works great with gloved hand.
Anti mist visor in the box a bit fiddly to fit but working well.
Bought in offer to price match really pleased

Comfortable with glasses

As a new rider I had borrowed my partners lid for my 1st 2 weeks of riding, I found that my glasses wouldn't sit straight. I tried on glasses friendly lids and this one sat just right, the clasp wasn't awkward, and the built in sun visor a handy feature

Great fit

This is a very good helmet, it has a nice design and it has ear slots for speakers, however it gets a little uncomfortable when you put the speakers in. It is a solid helmet for regular street riders because it fits glasses nicely and has built in sunglasses.

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.
