GMAX Helmet
I got this helmet so that I could survive my commute in Georgia without overheating. The airflow of the helmet is excellent. The visor does not fog up at all and airflow does not get directed directly into the eyes. The fit is good, although it is a bit tight around the chin area, nothing major, it just takes some getting used to. The clarity of the visor is also excellent; sometimes I forget that I have the visor down.

A $100 Helmet? Really?
Yes, really. I have an enormous head, or at least the back of my head is rather bulbous, and the GM68 fits me wonderfully. I haven't gotten too much saddle time with it, but I'm pretty sure I won't get The Mark (that annoying red spot on your forehead) during extended rides. The number of vents seems excessive but is welcome, noise doesn't seem too bad probably due to the bit of fabric across the chin, and the LED running light is a welcome bell/whistle. After Motorcyclist magazine's expose on the cheaper helmets, I was willing to check one out and I was certainly not disappointed..

A great buy at this price.
I bought this helmet based on the good reviews I saw online. As far as value for money, it rates very high. Build quality seems very good. The removable liner snaps in and out with little or no trouble. Fit is very snug, but not uncomfortable. The only thing I wasn't completely expecting was the actual size of the helmet. Because of all the vents it really feels quite large. It's a minor thing, but that was my first impression.

Great helmet. Love the look, ventilation is good, seems quality all around. Visor stays in place and swaps out easily. Feels good. It's a bit loud, only downside I can think of. Makes paying $400 for a helmet seem like a ridiculous notion, when you get all this for $108, with a bonus tinted shield.

Over all the helmet is great. I love the fit and features. I chose this helmet for the lighting on the back of it. Being in the military we have to as much safety items as we can or we are told to get it.

I've researched a bunch of helmets, looking for the best in functionality and style. I have to admit, this helmet is the best I've found for the price. Why pay $350 for similarly designed helmets when you can get this one for less than half of that price!

Pros: inexpensive, relatively well fitting, lights add a bit of safety.
Cons: noisy above 30MPH. The face shield whistles as there is a split in the seal as well as an issue with fitting tightly at the top of the visor, and the foam doesn't fit tightly enough around the bottom of your head to eliminate that portion of the wind noise.
The sizing chart for me didn't work. I had to go one size higher. The effectiveness of the external vents is an unknown; there's so much other air in there due to the foam fitting problem, above, that I can't tell the difference when I close them. My thinking is that if the screen mesh in the vent holes was removed you'd get a substantial amount more flow. But I don't feel like modifying it to test my theory

When we arrived home after a day out, my helmet had been delivered. The entire family was there when I opened the box and all you heard was Wow! and Ohhh!!!;. That is how good this helmet looks. It is beautiful.
At the price of this helmet you'd expect a lot less. I was. I cannot express how surprised I was at how great this helmet is in every way. Fit-I wear a 7 5/8 fitted cap (Large, round head), I got this helmet in that size range and it fits perfectly. Features-Plenty of vents, LED on the back of helmet, easy to open visor, extra visor, all of the above...check! Air flow-Plenty. This helmet is beautiful! I got the black and silver one...Gorgeous! Cost Benefit- Pfftt! Look at the rest of this review. You would expect a helmet like this to easily be at least twice what it costs here. This helmet is truly money well spent and you won't be disappointed. I'm getting ready to purchase another and possibly two more (my girl and my son's love it as well).
I'm not one who usually writes long reviews, but this one is an indication of how impressed I am by this helmet.

Nice helmet - Fit is decent for a guy with a big head like me. Cheeks are a bit squeezed but feels fine that way. Air runs through it nicely and cools the head a lot. The only problem is because of the airflow there's quite a bit of noise at higher speeds which can be reduced or killed with earphones or earplugs. Probably the best bang-for-your-buck helmet.

great bang for the buck
I tried on numerous helmets and this one feels like a high-end helmet. The air vents keep you cool in the summer. A little noisy but not bad. The extra safety feature of the light is great. Very light and comfortable.

Nice helmet, but not sure I have the right size.
Before ordering this helmet online, I tried on a lot of different models & checked a lot of different size charts. My head falls into the medium size catergory for most helmets, but is on the large side of the medium size range. I used my new helmet in the MSF basic rider course over the weekend. It was really fun. My only complaint about the helmet is that the cheek pads are kind of tight because I had sore face muscles after using it for 2 days. Not sure if that can be fixed or not...or if I shouldn't grin so much when I ride.

very pleased!
I would highly recommend this helmet. The air flow is fantastic! The padding is also well placed and fitted, so it doesn't squeeze your cheeks. And let me not forget the flashy light on the back that I find so fun.

Good Buy
This helmet is over all a great helmet. The lights on the backside of the helmet are great for visibility at night. Its comfortable and has good ventilation. It also has a way to close the vents when it’s cold. In conclusion it is a great helmet for the price.

Very good helmet for the price. Purchased based on reviews I read. Fits good for a $100 helmet. Was noisier than expected based on reviews? Appearance is great. Would buy again.

Helmet is outstanding; if you can find a better helmet at this price it must be stolen.

Great fit and superb airflow make this helmet a winner. Fairly noisy however, barely any fogging. Extra free tinted shield was a blessing on bright days.

nice helmet, great value
I've been pretty satisfied with this helmet, and at this price it is hard to complain. The only things I would warn is that it is quite loud, (although you can probably tape off vents to quiet it), and their size chart is not quite accurate. I measured to the low end of the size Small but went with a Medium based on other reviews. The medium just barely fits... so just another vote to order larger than you think. The extra shield and rear light are great, and I would definitely order this helmet again (but with a larger size!)

No more excuses NOT having a top-shelf full-face helmet boys and girls! The cost here is incredibly low. Comfort is almost perfect - my large-ish ears took a while to get used to being boxed in. The graphics on all GMax helmets are as good as it gets. LOVE the continuously adjustable face shield. Put it where you want it and it stays even at 70 mph! LOVE the lights in back.

Best Buy for the $$$
This was my 1st GMax helmet, bought a yellow 38S as well. Two other commentators said, "buy the GMax a size larger than you normally wear." They are correct. I normally wear an XL--tried on at a local bike shop and it was like putting my head in a vise. Bought both in an XXL and fit perfectly. Both are a little noisy when you get up to about 45 and > but bearable. Asked cop buddy of mine about the flashing red lights and he said, "I think it's a great feature, I can't figure why a cop would stop you for it, all helmets should have it as an option." Highly recommend this helmet for fit, appearance, and the safety aspect of the flashing lights.
