Thanks for the feedback, I'll include this point in helmet review from now. I'll be doing a Best of ADV helmets review in a few weeks and will include this factor in that video - Andrew
I personally find this to fit just a little bit for me. I'm medium in helmet size, but not in this one sadly. They didn't have a small in store so I'll have to wait and see if that fits better once it's in stock.
Hi, I'm not sure why it would seem that way. It comes down all the way to a fraction off my nose tip, just like the Nexx one and does a great job. I certainly finds it works really well and would be the first to say if I found it was too short - Andrew
Good question. I can't give you a scientific answer but I'll do my best. I don't think it makes as much difference as you would think. A helmet's construction is fairly dense and not dissimilar to thick insulation. Therefore any difference in the outermost layer from having a darker colour in terms of heat build up, is immediately insulated by the EPS lining and removable liners inside and is also cooled by the resulting airflow both on top of and underneath through the air channels. It may make a very small difference and if I was somewhere truly hot all the time I would probably err on the side of caution and go lighter but in 20 years of riding I can't say I've ever noticed a helmet being hotter or colder from the colour. I was recently in the Gobi desert with a dark coloured helmet and never once thought about being too hot in it - Andrew
I don't think there's a wrong decision either way. Go for which one you like the looks of. Having had another week with both since the review it's very even. The Nexx is so much better if you think you will want to be taking the visor on an off a lot, the Airoh is much more of a faff. But if you'll mostly keep it on then the Commander is lighter and a little slimmer. - Andrew
I have this in the Carbon Variant.
Always get a complement from people for it.
Loving it so far.
One thing I would like to see in these reviews is how googles fit the dual sport helmet. I find most of them don't fit any or just the smallest ones
Yes, especielly without taking the visor off. Who can be bothered to take that off just because you want to use goggles?

For what it’s worth. I have the previous version and the goggles fit perfectly without taking the visor off. 👍🏻

I can imagine that the peak gets a lot of wind underneath and that you get a wobbly head on the road.
This is covered in the review at 2:50
The top shader seems small with minimal protrusion and it is placed quite high, does it actually helps with sun blocking?

Any comments on if a darker color helmet is much warmer to wear than a light colored one?

Are they releasing new colours next year?
I'm not sure tbh. The helmet is brand new so I wouldn't expect to have news of any additions for a while - Andrew
I still struggle between this and the nexx wed3

One more short sun visor on the market
Interesting a couple of people have said this. I honestly don't think it is. I hate a short sun visor but this one covers everything really well.
@@AdventureRiderMoto 99,7% internal sun visors r short and all manufacturers still don't know how to fix it
Too many logos for my taste.
