Great 2 in 1 hemet - Quality feel

Found it to have a great 'snug' fit without feeling tight. It's a great compromise to get a full-face lid for when you're of a longer run or at speed. Then around town, or when pootling the back roads on my XBR it's an open face with good visor to get that more-connected-to-the-world feeling. Flipping whilst riding is best achieved by putting the visor up first! Build quality is great at this price point - feels reassuringly solid, without lots of weight. Flip-over means that the lid is more balanced than my previous flip-up! Only negatives are that air-flow is not great so it got warm in the recent 35deg weather. As with all flip lids, noise is a problem - earplugs are still recommended for long rides. Comes with a Pinloc in the box (not yet fitted). I ride mainly older bikes (70's Triples & 80's stuff) and this doesn't look too modern. I tried several other helmets in the shop (MK branch) after ordering online. Staff great (as always) and sat with this one on for 30mins before committing !!
