A bit tight....
The GMax has great features, flows lots of air, looks cool but, fits a bit tight for me. I went with the sizing on the web site and it's a little on the tight side. It should, (and has already) loosen a bit the more I wear it. My lips touch the chin guard from time to time. That's a bit annoying but I've learned to live with it. I'm hoping this will improve over time but I doubt it. Over all I give it a strong 4 out of 5!

WHAT THE... ???
Wow! What a lot of helmet for little coin. I've had dozens of helmets over the decades and this is one of the best regardless of $. Diffuser works well, keeps the head solid at speed ('Busa), not like a drunken sailor with the typical round shell. Optical clarity is excellent. And the LED is da' bomb even with non-cyclists. It's the first thing they start fawning over. I've gotten a lot of love with this bucket. The fit is spot on for my head. I've already ordered another and will get more.

High-Grade helmet
This helmet is really nice. I like the built in LED light, but wish it was a bit brighter. The amount of air flow is great, and can be controlled by opening or closing the six vents on the helmet; there are five over the head, and one in front of the mouth, all can be closed if not being needed. For the money, this helmet is exceptional. It looks too elegant for its price, fits well, and provides a lot of air. P.S: This was my first helmet.

Good for the money.
This helmet fits well, has lots of ventilation, the visors are very nice with no distortion. The LED lights are a little gimmicky, but that's ok.

Great helmet
So far my only complaint about this helmet is the wind whistle. When the visor is all the way down, I get a high pitch whistle. Other than that it fit perfect, visor switching is simple, and I like the air flow. Plus the red light (which came with alternate color plates of grey) is a nice safety feature.

GMax-GM68 SPC Helmet
The helmet arrived a week before I took a 4000 mile trip from AZ to NC and back. The light is a great safety feature. The ventilation was awesome! I was riding on I-10 and I-20 and every little bit of air helped in Texas. The only problem I have had is with the face shield fogging when it rains. Other than that, it is a great helmet at a superb price.

GMax GM68 Helmet
I own numerous helmets and was looking for a special purpose helmet that would provide excellent ventilation due to a planned trip in a warm climate this summer. The GM68 provides outstanding ventilation, but aside from that, it stands up to any of the significantly more expensive helmets that I own. It has a nice fit, great finish (matte black), 2 shields and a led light on the rear of the helmet.

I got the helmet last February and I feel that it is my turn to rate the helmet. Love it! I added some reflectivity to it last month with some toxic reflective decals. Otherwise, it seems to do a very good job. If there was one complaint, it would be that nobody has heard of the GMax brand. Thank you to Webb Bike World for the glowing review. GMax need to re-do their flip-up helmet. I could see myself buying one in a second!

buy it!
Great first or second helmet. Comfortable, cool, great optics, somewhat quiet, somewhat light on head. Only one problem with it...where to buy new replacement shields

My First Helmet... Extremely Satisfied
After trying many Helmets in the local shops, I ordered this one online. It is by far the most comfortable helmet I've tried. There is a lot of wind drag when you turn your head. With all the vents, the airflow is great, but at speeds of 50+mph I get a whistling sound. The rear light is highly visible and useful considering I bought the thing in flat black. Had a friend follow me at night just to test it out. Highly Recommended Helmet.

GMax - GM68 SPC Helmet
The cheek area is too narrow compared to the rest of the helmet. A large would fit if the cheek are was not so dang tight. Other than that it's a great helmet for the money.

Great helmet at a great price
I feel like I got a really good deal with this helmet. It came with both a clean and tinted visor, a free helmet bag (not that I ever use it), and it is Snell and Dot rated. The helmet is comfortable and gets plenty of air flow. You can't see it in the picture, but there are 5 vents on the top of the head that you can open or close to adjust the total amount of airflow. I'm happy with the helmet, especially at the price

GMAZ-GM68 SPC Helmet
ated on webbikeworld.com as 2007 helmet of the year. For Good Reason. Great air flow without being noisy. Outstanding Visor optical quality, led rear lights, Snell and DOT certified. AND the price is UNBELIEVEABLE! Feels much lighter on your head than specs. HIGHLY recommended.

This is an awesome helmet
I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the GM68. Everything is top-notch with it. I now understand why WebBikeWorld made this their helmet of the year. It is worth more than every penny. I would buy this helmet again in a heartbeat.

You get what you pay for
Overall the helmet is light. You get alot of noise with all vents closed. The lights are highly visable. This helmet is a head turner. Its a fair helmet for the price.

GMax-GM68
This is a great helmet for the money with superb ventilation and a distortion-free visor. A tinted visor with a nice sleeve was included, and visors aren’t cheap. The rear lights might be a tab over the top, but at night I'll take all the visibility I can get. I was worried when ordering that if it didn't fit returning it might be a problem, but the paperwork accompanying the helmet spelled out the procedure in great detail, and I could see it wouldn't have been a problem. Fortunately the fit was good. Things I like: no-tools visor removal, good ventilation, removable liner, extra tinted shield, and auxiliary lighting. Nice!

GMax - GM68 SPC Helmet review
The GM68 helmet is definitely a good buy. The internal air flow is excellent with a fantastic overall appearance. No fogging at all. External noise insulation lower than previous HJC unit. Some noise generation expected from all the large vents (can't get something for nothing!). The size chart is like two sizes off!! As a result I now have a spare size small.

cheap but nice features
I have a long head and the helmet is kinda short, not too bad though. The finish is not the greatest as when you open the vents it leaves little scuff marks that I think will get worse if you keep opening and closing the vents. Not bad for the money, but you get what you pay for.

Best Deal Ever
I got my helmet and cannot believe what quality you get for so little money. I have a total of 4 helmets and now my new GMAX - Excellent in every aspect. I know these are not the most expensive and I can afford others but why spend the extra money if you don't have to. So I buy based on reviews. I gotta say the GMAX is the best deal I've come across. Keep up the great work and looking forward to buying many more GMAX products. Fit, finish and function are great!

Gmax - GM68 SPC Helmet
Having read a few reviews I decided to take the plunge and buy this helmet. Thus far, I have nothing but praise for the value, feature set, function this helmet provides. I have more expensive (European) helmets and this is on par with them in terms of fit and finish. It is clearly not designed and built to a price. Noise is acceptable (I ride with ear plugs), ventilation is awesome especially when it is warm. I wear glasses and the ventilation prevents misting on cold mornings. The fit is perfect with no pressure points after my rides. Thoroughly recommended.
