I had a look at them as they seemed like an awful lot for £40 (spare visor, drop down sun visor, alt cheek pieces, bag).
However, I didn't buy as I couldn't get a good fit, although I didn't try the alt. cheek pieces - they may have improved things, but I thought it felt as if it might suit those with a Arai shaped bonce rather than my Shoei one. |

Don't know if this will really benefit anybody as I imagine most are sold now. I Got one. It's a bit different to my old Laser Spider IV with dead padding.
It seems I have an Arai shaped head as it fits well. Overall weight is about 1700g so bit heavier than the Laser I'm used to, but I imagine this has to do with the flip front, vents and sun visor. Flip front works well and is flip-able while gloves are on, although could go a bit higher. The main visor is a bit flimsy in operation, but notches are definite and don’t fog too easily so far. The field of vision is less than the laser (more of a widescreen helmet if you like). The extra sun visor is ok, could come down a tad further and be a bit darker but it does its job and is operable fairly easily whilst gloves are on from base of helmet. Noise around town is manageable, quieter than aged laser. Get over 60 and it sounds like you have a box on your head, deafeningly loud, I wouldn't recommend this on the motorway at all. More of a round town helmet. |
