    You absolutely nailed the value of the sun visor there Bruce. I've got a Shark Spartan (the same lid as Richy ironically, but not due to him) and as a year round commuter (pre Covid and ore change of job) I found that I used it all year round for all the purposes you state. Full summer sun, low winter sun, glare off wet roads etc - it's so convenient and doesn't give you the weird distortion that polarised sun glasses can.

I was also looking at this gripper but I have a C3 Pro flip up helmet and I had to sugru the mount for the Osmo action to the front. Need to go and try this out too. Great tips thank you.

    I have one as a spare, it's a great helmet, looks mint with the gold visor. It's comfy and cool in the summer, doesn't catch your jacket collars like my shark, but you can't take the peak off and you get a lot of head drag/buffering at "motorway" speed. My son had one and it protected his head fine when hitting a badger at 50mph. Oh, don't forget you can remove the visor and use goggles with it instead!

    Awrite gadge, I bought one of these bad boys about eighteen months ago. I wanted to try out the peak style helmet and didn't want to spend a fortune on it. I got a " quarterback" colourway which I believe looks great. It kinda looks like an American football style design. I love it. Your right it is a cracking lid for the money. It's great for warm to hot weather riding. It's not the quietest helmet I own but plugs sort that out. I am bang on the Arai/Shoei medium size and the LS2 is a medium. No sizing issues, it fits well. The peak has never been an issue with the wind and the drop down visor works a treat. I think I got it online from Wilkinsons??? Gave them a phone first and got advice from the guy. Purchased and never regretted.

    Have an LS2 (Valiant mk1, convertible helmet) for my everyday ride, it does it's job (under 200 euros) and has a hard life... looks cool and wight is ok and well balanced. Down side, very noisy and really poor ventilation when closed (the mk2 has more vents...). For the rest it does the job if you can get it cheap.

    I've had two LS2 helmets now and they are great. Excellent visor quality with a wide opening for a good field of view. The ventilation is also very good, the only slight downside is it's not as quiet as my Shoei GT air but is fine with earplugs. I would definitely recommend them.

  • @paddy25212
    @paddy252122 жыл бұрын

    I bought this on a bit of a whim - in the shop, size L (That I usually wear) felt tighter than I remember a new lid feeling - so opted for the XL instead. Cost me around £100 which I was happy to pay. I've since found that after the padding has softened up - XL is a but too big for me - I have to wear a balaclava to make my head a bit bigger. I agree that the peak isn't quite wide enough - I often have to ride with my head on the piss a bit to make use of the shade created. The peak could also do with some extra venting - I'm tempted to have a play with a drill and a hacksaw and see if I can improve that with a bit of butchery... At speeds up to 60mph as long as I don't look up at the sky, the peak doesn't cause too much drag. At motorway speeds it's really not comfortable doing lifesavers before and after overtaking/changing lanes. (Maybe size L would be a little less turbulent for me) The tinted visor switch/button is bloody stiff - compared to the slider on the top of my Caberg lids that are easy to find, operate and are smooth and easy - this one on the side feels way too stiff - to the point you're not entirely sure if you're pressing it in the right or the wrong direction. I kind of have to turn my head to the left/right to offer resistance/assistance to my left hand operating the switch. (It hasn't got any smoother in the 1000 miles use it's had so far) Once it's down - it works well but is very dark with a bluish tint - meaning in the middle of the day it's fine, but in the later afternoon & evening it's fine in the sunshine but way too dark when you head into shade/wooded areas. I usually ride with ear plugs, and when I do - wind noise isn't usually a concern. Without ear plugs this is noisier than any flip up lid than I have ever owned. It's not unpleasant - but very noisy. One gripe I have about the visor is that there's no sequential opening. It's either closed or it's open. I wear glasses and even with pinlock, often have to ride with my visor open at its lowest setting (Anywhere between 5mm and 1inch depending on the lid). This visor doesn't have a lowest setting - it'll sit unclosed with a 1cm gap - but once I'm above 40mph the wind closes the visor and keeps it closed. My AGV's and my Cabergs all have a sequential visor so when you open/close it, you can do it in stages - which you cannot do with this LS2. That said, the visor is clean and clear and offers a wide field of view with very little image distortion where the visor curves. The chin gaiter came as an additional piece for me - and I've never managed to fit it in any way where it stays put and is comfortable to wear. It seems to me like a bullshit afterthought so I've never used it. Maybe it'd reduce the wind noise somewhat - but it does help with ventilation. To summarise, for the price of the lid I like it and am pleased with it. The biggest gripe for me (As a glasses wearer) is that the visor won't stay open a fraction. I'm considering the higher priced/higher spec LS2 Explorer - but will return it if the visor is the same.

    That lid get's constant updates, the one that saved my life had little details that looks different (no chin curtain, different style of chin vents). It stayed on the head, did not twist, did awesome job, and even if bucket is not broken you will know that helmet took the force, it gets really loose when it's spend. For this price it's awesome helmet, good to see it's get updated again. I think I will get next one as spare. Cheers!

Crash speed was circa 60km/h probably slower as crash bars and pegs dug out small ditch before I was ejected, so I bleed a lot of speed and energy there (enough to change crashbars to modern art).

    I had this helmet for more than half a year, so thanks for reviewing :)! I got it as a second helmet for dual-sport / offroad riding. Pros: great ventilation, feels lightweight, visibility is awesome especially offroad when you need to keep an eye for obstacles. You can use small goggles on (haven't tried it but that's what the Internet says). Beak cuts the air quite nicely when riding on the road, was expecting more resistance. Cons: removing the padding is easy, but putting it back is annoying. The switch for the sun visor feels clunky and can clog up with dirt and dust when riding in dry dusty summer conditions. Had to clean it thoroughly or I could've bent the inside leaver. NOTE: The cut is fairly high because it is meant to accomodate a neck brace, that's why it also has those two lip extrusions on the back.

Update on my mic inside half a ball, had some issues with the crackling on audio so trying a different mic just now, early tests are promising, did you have the crackling (sounds like static), the problem is it is not every time I am out, DJI osmo trial if I cannot crack this on GoPro.

    Wow impressive lid for the money Bruce looks real nice , never really seen the point of peaks on a street helmet certainly if it has a sun screen inside it's just something to catch the wind but maybe I am wrong there as I have never had one .Really like the side vision aspect ,I have a Arai and at junctions its a bit iffy looking to the side I have to crain a bit to see. Can I ask have you tried the 6D lids at all as usual great review .Cheers : )

Only issues I had, which are covered in the vid, is the peak seemed just a tad too narrow for me, and the lining fasteners looked lower quality compared to the likes of a Shoei Hornet ADV for example - but that’s to be expected on a lid that’s effectively a fifth of the price. Great lid 👍

    Looking at the SHARP helmet safety scheme this lid isn't listed yet but I notice the manufacturer makes a range of helmets with safety scores from 1* to 4* (out of a maximum 5*) and all their lids are to UN ECE REG 22.05 standard, so to my mind that 22.05 measure is fairly meaningless. Not saying it's a bad helmet and I'm not one of those people that thinks cheap means unsafe, as I've seen many expensive helmets with low SHARP ratings, but I'll reserve judgment until it's got a SHARP rating. Current helmet is the first I've had with flip down sun visor and now I wouldn't buy a helmet without one. 👍
