This helmet is fantastic! Fits like a glove and accomodates my prescription glasses. I'd recommend this one to anyone who also wears glasses and doesn't have sunglasses or contact lenses. 5 ***** Stars!

Few helmets have made such a mark on the bike world as the Simpson Bandit. First launched in the late 1970s, the original Bandit was made in Texas by Bill Simpson and was actually a NASCAR helmet design that was technically illegal in Britain. It was a super-high quality lid, but since it was built for American car racing, it didn't comply with UK motorcycle helmet rules.
Now riders can re-create their biking youth, with the Venom. A totally compliant helmet with the latest ECE 22-06 regulations, making it fully road legal to wear on a bike. That hasn't affected the overall design though - the Simpson style is still clear to see.
The standard Venom boasts the very latest composite Maxx-3C shell material, with fully removable, washable lining, an advanced venting and hot-air exhaust system, inner sun visor, and a quick-release Pinlock MaxVision equipped visor. A Pinlock MaxVision insert is included in the box.
