Perfect mid-range sports-touring helmet
30 September 2024 by Thomas G
As other reviews have said it fits quite tight on first wear, but very quickly shapes to the head. I had a Shark helmet before, I purchased the same size for the Skwal i3 and the fit is now perfect.

Reasonably quiet at speed, very clear visor with the best sun visor I have used so far.

Vents are not great, but the visor is easy to click open just a tiny amount enough to let some air in.

The lights are very bright, definitely enough to be seen and actually bright enough to illuminate my dashboard somewhat when riding in pitch black night.

For the around £200 mark that it often sits at I am very happy with it.

So close to perfect.
28 September 2024 by Jordan J
As a general helmet it is fantastic, very comfortable, while a decent style. The drop down visor takes a while to get used to...but once you are it's great.
The lights feature overall is absolutely brilliant. Biggest drawback is if raining to hard, lights don't work (in my experience).

A good stylish helmet with special features
17 August 2024 by SteveK
Initially quite tight, I am just on the cusp of the next size up. A chat with a very patient member of SBS reassured me. I stuck with the size ordered and things are easing nicely. A comfortable, for me, helmet. Not as noisy as some suggested. Good all round vision with a visor that stays wherever it's put, no sudden snap shut at speed. The drop down sun visor is excellent; drops down further than my previous helmet. Ventilation could be better and when deploying the sun visor it's easy to shut the top vent. Not helpful. I wear glasses which the design of the Skwal copes with very well. I haven't been out after dark since to check the effectiveness of the LED's but I'm sure they'll make a difference.The brake light is a reassuring bonus feature.
Excellent service, as ever, from SBS.

Great Helmet at a Great Price
05 August 2024 by Benn S
Build quality is very good especially at the lower price point vs other helmets. The lights are bright enough and are a great additional feature. The fit is good and very comfortable. Only downside is that windnoise could be better. The fact that you can comfortably fit glasses into the space provided and still make use of the inner sun visor is also a great point.

Nice comfy but lights are glitchy
29 May 2024 by chris c
love the helmet its comfy feels nice to wear, downside is the hole for the speakers is covered with some padding that you cant remove so sound is really quite. and the lights even tho turned off randomnly flashs even when not using the helmet.

Aerodynamic but needs better ventilation
13 May 2024 by Roy
Smooth airflow over the helmet with less drag than my Shoei GT Air but the ventilation could be better.
I couldn't tell if the vents were open or closed, and no rear vents. Can't ask for it all!
The light system is great. Easy to use by just clicking over and over for different modes.
Sun visor covers my entire vision and the visor itself is nice and wide.
Visor stays in place when partially opened but makes a loud whistle when fully open, even at low speed.

Lights are a game changer
28 February 2024 by Matt M
The unique thing about this helmet is the lights. They really do work, and greatly increase your visibility. Pros include the brake light coming on under engine breaking when the bikes lights wouldn't, great safety feature. The back of your head is often a far more visible place as well.

Apart from that, it's a great helmet in the usual ways. Comfortable, light enough, looks good, decent safety credentials.

I really like the idea of lights in a helmet. Unfortunately the brake light did not work properly. But again sportbikeshop excellent service replaced the helmet within a couple of days cannot recommend this company enough.

Lights up
05 February 2024 by Lee H
A noisy crash helmet, you will need earplugs. There are a couple of things you will need to know, the earholes inside the helmet are a little small and after half an hour, your ears will feel squashed and a bit sore, I feel we need more padding there. The second thing when charging make sure the lights are flashing slowly, then it will be charging. Otherwise you will do what I did, charge it for 12 hours and the lights weren't flashing and it did not work. People look at you while driving because they're amazed with the lights they work brilliant if I could give 100% I would for the lights but not for the other stuff

Awesome all round helmet with the added safety of front and rear lights.
The lights are quite bright and really make you visible in poor light conditions.
Only had mine a few weeks but get used every day for my 35 mile work commute...in the dark. Anything that can help car drivers see me is a plus in my book.

Great comfort and build quality
07 December 2023 by David G
New 22.06 certification makes this a bigger helmet than my previous one, although exactly the same weight. Premium feel. Really good fit, plenty of room for 40mm speakers for intercom, liked the way the visor latches at several positions and seals shut with a click. Much queiter than previous helmet. Feel much safer with the automatic brake light. Highly recommended.

Top quality helmet with excellent features
06 December 2023 by Pete E
Really impressed with this helmet. Massive step up in quality from Shark compared to a previous DSkwaal I owned. LEDs much brighter. It's obvious from driver behaviour that I am seen in traffic in low light conditions by wearing the helmet. Comfortable, quiet, draught free. Colours match my MT09SP too ! Highly recommended and top service from SBS as always

Most comfortable
13 November 2023 by Darren M
Had recently decided my elderly HJC flip front was getting a little past its best.
Tried a few HJC helmets on but alas they didn't seem comfortable, so I decided to look around at other brands.
I had already decided to switch back to a full face so started trying other brands on within budget and by far the most comfortable were the Sharks, wanted something fairly plain as I don't like gaudy and the Skwal seemed to fit the bill perfectly with the led lighting an added bonus because I'm a sucker for a gadget.
The helmet to me has a premium feel to it, the interior feels very plush and the exterior finish is excellent.
As for the lighting I'm sold on it as a few people I know have seen me out said it was really noticeable and just adds a little extra layer of safety.
If you are fitting a cardo intercom just be aware the JBL speakers are quite a tight fit into the deep cutouts, but with a little care it can be done.
Would definitely buy again.
Service from SBS was impeccable as always.
