Really Awesome...
This product is more than I could have ever imagined possible. The pricetag was extremely affordable compared to the amount of feature that it comes with. It has more features than my wife’s HJC helmet and it cost $20 less. The ventilation is great. I sweat a great deal during the summer and the airflow through the vents in the helmet cool my head off at an incredibly fast rate.

Great for price/ but not perfect
This helmet looks good and the price is right. Fit is nice, slightly snug and if you’re on the verge of moving up a size you may need to order it larger. Has nice airflow except around the mouth. This helmet will fog on humid early morning days with little breath. I have had to form my fourth to blow downward to avoid this. Maybe just Missouri weather, but it’s the only real big problem. This helmet is also loud and on long rides earplugs are needed. But for the cheap price and good looks especially in the black, you can’t go wrong. Comes with a tinted shield and cloth cover too. If this is your price range I recommend it, if you’re expecting an Arai than look for something else.

Awesome helmet
This was the first helmet that I ever bought brand new and it fits me extremely well. The extra smoke visor is perfect on sunny days. Oddly enough with all the vents this thing has it fogs up pretty easily if it's cold out and you stop for a few seconds. The graphics are really good looking and the comfort is outstanding. The LED's in the back should be good for keeping people from tailgating. And can't beat the price. Would definitely buy again.

Good Helmet
I bought the matte grey crusader and really like it. I went down with a HJC CL-14. This helmet has a more secure fit around the cheeks and has a better overall feel. I bought based purely off the Webbikeworld.com review. The airflow isn't as great as they make it seem, but for $120, I like it a lot.

This is a very good helmet for your money. I have only been riding for two years and this is my second helmet I have purchased. The air flow is great. I received compliments about the helmet and the lights in the back of it from my other riding partners.

Gonna buy another for the wife!
I love this helmet. The flashing lights on the back are awesome and I really think they help keep people from tailgating for the most part. Everyone asks me if they are connected to my brake lights on the bike...maybe thats why everyone stays of my butt, course maybe its my driving...
The fit is good. The helmet is a little loud but, I think that's to be expected when you have so many vents. I haven't tried riding with the vents shut so I don't know if that would help with the sound. I'm getting this helmet for my wife too. Not the pink one though as she would kill me...

Great helemt for the price
I originally purchased the medium sized helmet, based on the GMAX sizing guide and found it to be too tight. The cheek areas were particularly snug and made the helmet unsuitable for long rides. Ordered a large and this fits great. I would highly recommend that you try on different sizes of this helmet before buying.
Looks- My teenage daughter says the helmet looks "BA" (bad-ass).
Fit- Great, but try on first
Quality- Decent for price
Visibility- Decent peripheral vision, visor is high-quality with minimal distortion (also includes tinted visor, too dark for my taste)
Air flow- seems good, but noisier than HJC or KBC. Since I wear earplugs, the noise is not a real issue.

Outstanding !!
I got this helmet just in time for spring & summer here in San Diego. The fit is excellent, and the air flow is outstanding. Everyone at work loves the design of the helmet. LED lights on the back are very cool. The fact that it came with the dark wind visor and helmet bag made this purchase a lock. MCS, great job on shipping and GMAx, awesome job with the helmet.

Great Value premiem features at budget price
I have had this helmet for about six months now. When I ordered it, it came with a clear and tinted visor, a lens bag, a helmet bag, and smoked cover for the rear lights. Both visors are great, but the dark visor has a cloudy tint to it. When I first got this helmet, the cheek pads had a tight fit, and were uncomfortable, but after about a week of wear they broke in, and are the perfect fit. The helmet is tight but not too tight. It is a very good looking helmet. I marked the airflow down 1 point because it has lots of vents, and makes plenty of whistles and noises, but for how much noise it makes it doesn’t vent that well, my HJC vented a little better with less noise and vents. I would buy another in a heartbeat, which is what I’m doing here in the first place, looking for new models. If gmax continues what they have started here, I will be a customer for life.

Almost Perfect
I bought this helmet after using a Hawk for several months. The only thing that I find that is not the best as can be is while riding at 40+ mph the wind starts to whistle in the helmet even with all vents open or closed, this is not a huge deal to me but if you are easily annoyed by this type of thing beware. This is the best fitting helmet I've tried. It does need to wear in and is the most comfortable after 5-6 days. I recommend this helmet to anyone looking for a good quality helmet at a reasonable price. Also, not in the description, it came with the tinted visor and a clear one and storage bags for the visor and helmet.

Excellent Helmet for the price!
I love the fit and I love the features. Very comfortable. The 2 diff shields are great. My LEDs stopped working after like a day. That angered me pretty much. I haven't taken the time to figure out what the problem is.

Great helmet, my brother and I both bought one. Air flow is really good with all the vents, but its still pretty cold outside so we'll see if its just as good in the summer. One of my vents whistles, but my brother hasn't had any complaints that i know of. Lights on the back are a great safety feature. Changing between the tinted and clear visors only takes about 5 seconds.
GREAT price. Would definitely recommend.

GMAX GM86 - great value
I think it’s a great value for the money - nice, removable liner, not too heavy, interesting design (mine is the blue/white which matches my jacket), LED lights on back, lots of vents. Few helmets come with a clear and a dark shield, plus a bag for the helmet and the shield. My only gripe is it isn't particularly long. On my non-faired SV650, above 80mph the pressure on the face pushes the helmet back so my nose just touches the padding on the breath deflector. This padding (which many helmet manufacturers in this price range skip) is removable though.

Simply Awesome
I own a HJC CL-15 and this one. The GMAX has so many more features. You get two visors (one clear, one smoke), the rear LED lights with three different settings (solid, 2 flashes per second, 4 flashes per second) for increased visibility. Has 5 top vents, 1 chin vents, and 4 auxiliary vents. Overall a great helmet, I would definitely get another one if mine ever needs replacing.
Tyler
Manchester, NH
For the Price...You can't go Wrong!
First of all, I have had two HJC's, a Suomy, and now this helmet. The HJC's were both heavy helmets with pretty poor airflow, though the newer ones have gotten slightly better. The Suomy which was a $500 helmet has good airflow and an amazing visor that never fogged. Now the GMax helmet has the best ventilation I have ever felt. The sizes seem to run a little on the large side so be aware if you sometimes fall in between sizes. The helmet is super light and the addition of two visors included in the price is great! Extremely nice looking helmet, paint and clear coat may not seem as enduring as my Suomy or an Icon, but good none the less. The visor will fog slightly, but how many actually don't... Overall, this is the best helmet I have had for the price! Really, what do you have to lose? GO FOR IT!

Great helmet only one complaint
The helmet is great. The value was even better. I am happy with the interchangeable visors and the LED light is a great idea. The one thing I have been dissatisfied with is the fogging. I can't compare it to other helmets because it's the first enclosed helmet I've owned, but it fogs up when I'm not moving a little. Other than that, great helmet.

Whistlers Helmet
The fit is very good, but it falls short in other areas of ergonomics. The lining is nothing special, the face shield is not so perfect and it fogs up easily despite the breath guard, and the helmet make a variety of whistling noises above 35-40 mph. I suppose that if you were musical enough you could turn your head in various way and make a tune from the whistling, but for me it just gets annoying. The air flow is not that remarkable considering the number of vents. The chin vent mechanism is especially wimpy. The graphics are nice but the finish is only okay. But one shining feature of this helmet is the tail light, and it is the reason I bought it. It's a good value, but the whistling would prevent me from using it on more than my short commute.

I like the appearance of the helmet, and everybody is amassed of the price that I paid. I do wish you could feel more air flow in the helmet, its got a lot of vents b/c you can hear the noise (it a little loud). But its great for south FL.
Tom
Northampton, MA
Good Helmet
I would recommend this helmet based on comfort, air flow, the optically correct visor and other features for the price. I've worn several full face helmets over the years, Bell, Shoei, HJC's, and Fullmers. One of the best things about this helmet is the super clear visor that, at times, seems like you're not wearing a visor. It's got a pretty comfortable fit although the cheek pads are a little thick and snug for my liking which is why it gets a 4 not a 5. I agree with others that the fit is true to size. There's no problem fitting my sunglasses on around the ear pads either. It's fairly light, too. The other day a friend of mine who has one of those Harley half helmets that don't protect you at all, lifted mine up. He was surprised and commented that his is heavier feeling.

Beaverton, OR
Outstanding Helmet
This is the best helmet value I've ever had. Light weight, great fit. I wear a 7 3/4 hat, with a round head shape and ordered the XL. At first it was snug, but after about a half dozen rides, it fits perfect. I can feel the padding all the way around my head, but no hot spots. I ordered the silver mirrored visor with the matte silver/grey helmet, looks great. Only con: when I turn my head to either side with all of the vents open, I get a slight whistle, but nothing too bad. The led lights in back work as advertised, and are a great added safety feature.
Tommie
Front Royal, VA
Crusader, good bang for the buck!
The reason I gave Fit a 4 was because it is tighter on my jaws than other helmets my size. (You will need to order one size larger than you normally do on this one.) I have a pretty square noggin and that is the only reason it gets a 4. It came with an extra smoked visor in it's own fleece like cover, an extra cover for the lights and a nice helmet bag. For the price of just over $100, what a deal. If you want a loaded helmet at a nice price, this is a good buy. I'd recommend it to folks that like the fit!!
Brenn
Carrboro, NC
Fantastic helmet
This helmet fits wonderfully, has amazing venting, and is inexpensive!! There are some downsides: lots of venting means a bit of noise/whistling. If you shut the vents it gets way better. Despite the "full-face" design, there isn't (or doesn't appear to be) impact foam in the chin area. I would still prefer the extra plastic bracing to nothing, but the helmet could be improved by adding foam here. The lights in the back work, and are bright enough that people can see them at night-nice safety feature. The graphics look wonderful. It is a really sharp and solid helmet for the price. I would buy again

A Very Good Helmet For An Even Better Price!
When I first got the helmet I had been scared I got it too small because it fit very tight but after a few rides it loosened to fit my head perfectly. It is now very comfortable to use. It flows amazingly and it is perfect for hot weather. The tinted visor is great and I dread when I have to use another helmet without one. The adjustment clicks for the visor are great because you can just crack up the visor maybe half an inch and let the air flow to your face without worrying about debris. Overall its a very good buy and I would not hesitate to buy it again.

Great Helmet for the Price
I got this helmet a few months ago, and for 100 bucks you can't beat it. Nice bag for it and 2 visors, cool design and the lights in the back. And just yesterday I had my first crash, high side when the front wheel locked up, and I can say that it saved my life. The back off the helmet where the LEDs are cracked and there’s some scratching on the back and some on the visor. So I'm going to be getting another GMAX helmet once I heal up and start riding again.
Gus Orologas

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.

Silver Spring, MD
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..
Joe
Long Island City, NY
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.

GMAX - GM68 Crusader Helmet
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!
Bruce
Phelan, CA
Gmax 68S
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.

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.
Seana

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.

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.

Well I purchased this helmet, based on the reviews. When I got it in, the led switch was broken. So I am waiting to see if they have another blue one in stock. It fit a little big for me, but feels really nice. The ventilation system is the best I have ever seen. When you get up to around 55 or 60, better have mp3 or ear plugs, cause it is LOUD! I have noticed if you leave the middle vent open, its not quite as loud as when you close it. The graphics are really nice. The fact of it coming with 2 shields is awesome. Best buy for the money for sure!!!

Best Helmet For The Money
I had a Shoei TZ-R before I got this helmet and the GM68 is better than the TZ-R in every way. I would sweat to the point of dehydration in the Shoei, but not in this thing. I rode for about 2 hours in 100+ degree weather and I was fine. Came with a helmet bag, a tinted shield, a shield bag, and an extra tinted shield for the LED’s on the back. The visors are the best visors I've ever seen. They're so incredibly clear. It's got more features than I really care to list. Just get the helmet.

Purchased one size too small but after a week or so of riding fits loose. Very noisy, but that is because of the vents. Compliments all the time on the helmet with the dark smoke visor. Great helmet at under 130mph, after that it begins to rattle your head. But well worth the money.

A lot of vents no air flow
For the money this helmet is not too bad. Nice look with the graphics. The helmet is set up with a lot of visual vents, but it does not flow well. Pretty hot in Atlanta. Will keep as a spare, went with a Nolan N102 for everyday riding.

Exellent Value
The GM68 is a great value helmet. You get a lot of extra features at a terrific price. The wind flow is excellent and very appreciated in 100 degree heat. It is a noisy helmet however but if you usually use ear plugs like I do it doesn't matter. Overall a total bargain deal and perfect for summer riding.

Although I have only worn this helmet twice due to not being able to find a tire for my bike, my initial thoughts of the helmet are all positive. It fits snugly but is still comfortable, has a lot of ventilation, and seems to be a good bang for the buck. I’m going to get another for my girlfriend soon!

My first helmet since a Shoei RF-900... And overall I'd say it was a good purchase, definitely for the price. I would characterize my head as a "neutral" to "roundish" shape and the fit is good and true to sizing (large for me, 7.5 hat size). The vents are good but feel a bit cheap. Plenty of air flow. The appearance is good (I have the mat silver). There were a couple of minor defects in the paint not noticeable unless you are looking for them. My only real big problem is this helmet is pretty noisy. I get a lot of wind noise even with all vents closed.

Such a great helmet!
I love everything about this helmet. It fits great and snug, breathes incredibly well, keeping my head as cool as you could want in 100+ degree riding, while still feeling safe. The design just looks AWESOME, and the added light on the rear (with included batteries, I might add) is just a great extra benefit. Then there's also both a clear and a dark visor thrown in too. Why would I ever pay more for a helmet this great? Precisely - I wouldn't need to.

For the Price, You Can't beat It!
When I first received the helmet, the blinking lights in the rear must have been activated during shipping as they were very dim and blinking rapidly, but since they include a spare set along with the tinted lenses, it wasn’t a big deal. The helmet itself vents like a champion and I can now see why it has gotten such great reviews! The optical quality of the 2 visors are clearer then my $250 Oakley’s, I have no idea how they do that.
Jeremy
fredericksburg, VA
Very good helmet
The most comfortable helmet I've used so far. The graphics are excellent and changing the lens is easy. With all the vents this helmet has, over 8, I was expecting air to flow better but it's decent. The led lights in the back are a bonus and are the best feature. All in all for the price it's excellent. Comes with a dark lens and little bag to keep the helmet in as well.
Rob

This is the best $100 helmet!
Anyone who looks at this helmet assumes that it cost at least $300. The helmet actually looks better in person than it does online. You won't be disappointed with the finish. The visor comes off pretty easily, but I have left the tinted visor on. The only thing that I expected was more air in the top of the helmet. It has 5 vents up there, but not as much air as I expected.

The only issue I have is the front of the helmet is a little close to my face, not much room for my nose. Its fits my girlfriend great though.

Nice Product
The helmet is great. I especially like the visor. It is very clear and allows for good vision while driving. I like and use the rear lights to help other drivers see me at night. It is a great helmet. The only thing I didn't like was the cost of the shipping.

Great Helmet for a Small Head
This is a can't be beat helmet, as long as you get the size right. I read that the helmet sizes feel like the actual size but found that they run very small. I decided to give this helmet a chance due to the LARGE list of features and EXTREMELY affordable price, but when I ordered a large it wouldn't go past my nose. I have other helmets in large that fit me perfect. Luckily I was also searching for a helmet for my girlfriend and it fit her perfectly! She normally wears a small to medium. She says the airflow is great and really loves the safety the led’s added

Great Product
I really love the helmet, but it came with a damaged air cluster on the top middle part, but I had no choice of returning it. Everything else seems to be great, fits good, love the style and comfort.

Unbelievably good helmet! Excellent graphics, perfect fit, good airflow, free tinted shield, and it's only $100!?! You could sell this thing for twice as much, but please don't!

The Lid
Love the lid. The fit rocks. The rear portion at the neck seems a bit higher (less coverage) than my Shoei X8 Air, and the chin seems a bit higher as well (just beyond flush measured at the chin). I don't think that there is a fit issue; I'm just accustomed to a bit more coverage. Just a bit noisier (however I wear ear plugs so the noise is not an issue) but no significant complaints. I pulled the curtain to see if there was a noise difference and there is--LEAVE THE CURTAIN IN. Airflow is good; there is a noticeable DT like there's supposed to be. Good buy for the dollar. Makes me look like a rock star! I ride a VFR800.

Fit is just OK, great finish, good airflow. Some wind noise due to the air vents but that’s to be expected. I also have a GM58 and like the 58 better. The crusader has an air deflector which takes away room for my nose.

Awesome helmet !
I love this helmet. Keeps me cool in the summer. They only Con would have to be the chin guard padding, It's too close, and your nose touches. Nothing is perfect, but this helmet is as close as your going to get to perfect.

Great Helmet at an amazing price!
Best helmet I have ever seen for the money. The fit is perfect, and it is cool even in one of the sweatiest cities in the country. The only thing I could caution is that with all that air circulation comes a bit of noise, but I am willing to put up with it for the coolness and the quality. The visors are flawless and since it comes with two... WOW! A must buy for warm-weather riding.

add ear plugs for the best buy ever
I have two other full face helmets and bought this on mainly for the style and air flow after reading the webbikereview. The styling is the best I have ever seen and have gotten more compliments than any other lid I have ever owned in 12 years of riding. It is by far the most value packed helmet for the price. It feels light on my head, keeps me cool, keeps me alive (I do like the lights too), and is 1/3 of what it should cost.

GMAX Crusader Helmet
An excellent buy. I normally wear a large; the GMAX large is very snug on my head. However, I think a XL might have been a bit "roomy", so I'm keeping what I have. The Graphics on my "Crusader Matte finish" are so good, I almost wish I would have ordered a painted version so I could see the effect of the gloss on the finish. I am very happy with this helmet, worth much more than the price. Venting is very good; finish of the interior of the helmet is not up to the high end Shark that it is replacing, but well beyond the price point. Haven't had the occasion to use the rear light feature yet, but I think anything that increases your visibility has to be good. Can't recommend it any higher.

This Helmet is awesome. I love the feature of the L.E.D. lights which is great safety feature for night riding. Awesome helmet for the price. But it is most definitely a one drop helmet. Drop it once and you'll have to buy a new one.

Awesome summer helmet for the price, a lot of air flows and amazing graphics! I get compliments everywhere, I drive a white limited BUSA with a white BUSA Joe Rocket jacket, so imagine that combination with this helmet and people think I paid over $400 for it! And a light feature included! Are you kidding me? All this for $100, wow! The only thing is the interior cushion looks and feels pretty cheap, but come on! What more would you be expecting for the price? An ARAI or SHOEI interior cushions and comfort? Anyways, I'm super happy with it and I recommend it to everybody. Thanks and Live to Ride or Die!!!!!!

GMax - GM68 Crusader Helmet
After a lot of shopping around online I bought this helmet and am totally satisfied with my choice. The fit is snug without being too tight throughout the helmet and cheek area. The airflow is FANTASTIC, perfect for hot summer days in Georgia; the wind noise is barely noticeable with earplugs or my iPod. The helmet is gorgeous; I get lots of compliments on it. The lights on the back are definitely a great additional safety feature without being tacky. I would highly recommend this helmet to anyone.

Excellent Helmet
After a lot of research online I purchased this helmet, and it was definitely the right choice. The helmet fit is snug throughout the helmet, around the cheek area it is a little tighter than I am used to but it is not yet broken in. The shields (yes you get more than one screen) are crystal clear; this was a big change from my last helmet with scratches and cracks all over the shield. The Airflow is Amazing, and in regards to the wind noise, it is less than my HJC CL-15, although whenever I ride I used earplug headphones which I strongly recommend for long trips with any helmet. The appearance of the helmet are gorgeous, I definitely get looks everywhere I go. The lights on the back are in NO way tacky, and serve a great purpose during night/low visibility riding. For the price you CANNOT beat this helmet.

The other reviews are accurate for this helmet. It is a good value, with some neat features. It is designed for the "round" head. I order a large and the sizing is true. I would describe this as an ideal commuter helmet with the vents and the rear light. At speed it is affected by turbulence, and I suspect some higher-end helmets may be much more aerodynamic above 65 mph. The visor works as advertised and overall I am very satisfied with this helmet.

Great Helmet But Very Noisy
I’ve been riding with this helmet now for several months and I can say without a doubt that it’s a very nice summer time helmet. The tinted and clear shields are really well made no distortions what’s so ever across the entire peripheral viewing range, which is also very good, fit and finish is up there with helmets costing hundreds more and man does this helmet flow some air, on hundred degree days I have no problems keeping my head cool; sadly, all that air flow comes at a price and that price is noise and a lot of it.

I've been using this helmet for about a month. And really like it.
Pros - fits true to size. Incredibly good airflow. Really like the LED lights on the back - great safety feature. Surprisingly nice graphics/paint. Easily changed and very optically clear face shields.
Cons - Well, it is very noisy. I think any helmet with this much ventilation would be as well.
I wish they would come up with a modular version of this helmet!
