I have one it's a bit noisy to be honest, but the inner visor is genius.

Thanx for the link ( should use the search facility more often :oops: )

Got the black/silver graphic version - it surely cant be louder than my old shark lid.

Will give it a go ( as it turned up this afternoon )

:D

jonboy has one i think, the talk on it was that for the price it is damm good.

Have done 150+ miles in it now and it feels very good ( the comfort and the inner visor is v good ) BUT it is noisy, even noisier than my shark lid.

So ear plugs all the time i think - but for what i paid for it, you can`t beat it.

Where is the happy bunny emoticon ?

:D

...To resurrect a fairly old thread....

I bought and used a V2 last year, and the internal visor is excellent.
Looking at the styling, I'm not to sure about the 'pointy' chin look where the front vents are, but each to their own, and price is very good.
The visor itself is very good, clips into place and seals very well.
It served me well, but I was never entirely happy with it. It was very noisy and long fast trips would mean earplugs a-must. And I found my chin would be very close to the front. (I don't have a pointy chin before you ask!) :wink:

So, I spent 2 hours in Hein-Gericke last week and tried umpteen lids on.
I plumpted for an Arai Condor, voltage blue paint scheme.
The fit's incredible. So comfy. Only thing I'll miss is internal visor! :(
£250 but a great lid. I'd advise you to spend ages trying and trying some more, to find that lid that suits/feels comfortable and, of course, makes you look the 'dogs b*ll*cks!!' :D

In essence the V2 served me well, is a great, 'budget' lid but I needed comfort and reduced wind noise, which is what the Arai does.

I bought one of these lids otherday and finally got to use it today and i love it all ready. Inner visor is absolutely fantastic especially if you forget your sun glasses, altough don't need them now. My previous lid was a Nitro not great but did its job was crap for lifesavers as vision was blocked but the V2 was great had a wider vision. Have to agree was a little noisey but i like the sound of my bike.

I've had mine for over six months now and love it. The internal visor is perfection and it's a great fit. If only it wasn't so noisy.

Think i can put up with the noise like to hear some of whats going on around me

Ive just bought one and must say for the money I am impressed. Yes it is noisy but I always were ear plugs on any journey longer than 5 minutes so it doesnt bother me.

i was going to buy a Justissimo, but I wasn't really looking for the flip-up - just the internal visor.

Can anyone tell me how these helmets fit? Similar to another brand? I have a HJC/KBC/Scorpion head, so if these are similar, i'm placing an order today!

[Warren]

cool,

i am thinking of getting one, since my current KBC has a broken vent which leaks water onto my head.

is it really as noisy as people make out ?
is it noisy as in, you get alot of wind noise ?
or noisy as in, you can hear your bikes engine and stuff ?

It's very noisy as in wind noise. My V2 lasted 12 months and the padding had given up and squashed out of shape and the lid was to big, and the visor seemed to have distorted and didn't seal along the top and rain would run down the inside of the visor. This was when i decided it was time for a new lid. Cheap lid but a bit of a false economy if it only lasts a year.

[Dan]

Had a V2 from March until August - in that time and 2500 miles the padding gave enough to make the lid slightly loose and the wind noise became intolerable.

Bought an Arai and won't buy anything else again.

[Grinch]

Done about 8 k in mine and it seems fine.. though as everyone else said its very, very, noisy. Would never wear it without earplugs.

[Warren]

ok, now lets see who can find me the cheapest online retailer ?

or the ones who will throw in as much goodies* as possible ?


*goodies is a warren expression for free stuff.

[Warren]

can anyone tell me if their V2 is ACU approved ?

will i have any bother using it on a track do you think ?

[Razor]

Mine has the ACU gold sticker.
