    I've had an LS2 Carbon (2 actually) for 2.5 years, 11k miles. The sun shade mechanism, is terrible. Failed in both helmets in short order. Useable but a pita. I use an xl with every other helmet I've owned. This is a XXXL and it's still quite tight. I use a Lexin com system, and I have a chin mounted gopro 8. Not at all happy with the warranty. They refused to do anything about the sun shade not working, stating because I altered the cheek pads. Thankfully Amazon took care of any issues and provided a second replacement helmet for a restocking fee. I bought a new bike a few months ago and I'm experiencing wind noise. If I don't get that resolved I'll most likely buy a Shoie neotec 2. Overall, this is the most expensive but best helmet I've owned in 50+ years of riding.

I further mentioned i was a content creator and made a video about it. Its probably been a month or so later and not one email back! I'm surprised as this as it should of a response. you mention the lack of interest on there warranty i can see why. if they cant even bother to get back to someone who actually likes the product, then this concerns me. Well if the refuse to fix anything ill just make a video! :) I do agree with your last statement that this is the most expensive and best helmet I've ever owned.

    Hi Rob, water ingress has never been a problem for me. Just make sure your vents are closed. Even with some vents open as I have forgotten to close them it's been fine. It is a loud helmet as most adventure helmets are. Decent level of wind noise. I use a good set of quality ear plugs for long rides in the saddle which I've used on my older road helmet anyway. I just installed a Bluetooth headset on this one too and a video is available. Headsets are almost impossible to fit to adventure helmets. Thanks for the comment

The speakers fit fine but the exterior unit is difficult to attach as the only place to put it is at the side rear of the helmet. I decided to just leave it as I didn't have any double sided tape handy and the velcrow i was using juts didn't do the job and it kept coming off.

I will not say it is noisy, but quiet it definitely is not. Good thing for me is the fit. No complaints there. But… If you have the money to buy a better helmet (that fits ok) do it.

    I quite like riding with visor up two clicks for ventilation but still have eye protection. From what I can see the LS2 has no positions at all apart from up and down? Can you have it half way or 3/4 ?

    Hi Orange, the visor is still so you can leave the visor half way or even a little. I do this and have had no issues. It may not have preset for positions but it works.

    i want to use this helmet for riding a jetski in cold weather, so I actually want to avoid wind circulation and the inside getting wet. Do you think this helmet is effective at retaining heat and keeping water out if the vents are all closed and the shield is locked down?

    The wind circulation is limited. It has the chin guard to reduce wind noise. Shouldn't be a problem with keeping water out. In regards to heat I haven't had a chance to wear it properly in winter. I haven't noted a problem during the early winter period and autumn.

    @@EireRider.motorcycle.adventure The LS2 Explorer Carbon was actually one of the quietest helmets tested by the guys on the Champion Helmets youtube channel. This is actually what has attracted me to this helmet, although the Explorer version of the helmet has a different shell (fiberglass instead of carbon fiber) but the overall design looks identical, so maybe this helmet is or is not quiet IDK. I will keep researching but I will just go for the carbon version if I can't find the difference.
