    My co worker had an ILM . A modular one where the chin flips over. It did flip over, while he was riding. nearly threw him off. All ILM did when he tried to contact them was send him some plastic screw to replace a part of it.

      That’s unfortunate. I’ll pass along the feedback to ILM

    I have this very same helmet and I like it.
    Is it the best? No
    Is it the worst? No
    It's a decent helmet that will do the job and looks very nice. feels great, very comfortable.
    Do I know motorcycle helmets? Been riding crotch rockets or super sports if you will for over 25 years.

    This Helmet reminds me of the Icon Airform that i have. Which is a "budget" helmet that only costs about $150 bucks. Mine has the internal tinted visor that can be lifted and raised as well as the vents that can be opened and shut. Its a good helmet for the money.

    i would never trust amazon for helmets, head is the most important part of your body. name brand a must. as well as snell and ece certifications.

      Do you mean buying helmets from amazon?

      @ROBSOLUTELY 7 месяцев назад +5

      Amazon doesn't manufacturer helmets. You can buy many different brands.

      This specific model is ECE certified. Same as other major brands. This specific model is arguably safer than Icon Airflights that everyone loves

      I actually got to test that helmet and worked perfectly fine. 75 mph low side to high side then off a steep embankment. Id by another icon airflight all day​@@DJAlt1135

    I will say the quick connect locking mechanism is cool and all but if I had a choice I’d go with the D ring strap if they had that option.

    own two, its Gille Gts v1 in my country. it is less than $100 here and great for the price. worth for casual riding and weird people thinking it should be rated for track and high speed only yo be qualified "worth it"
    price and quality, it is worth it
    seen people crash with it in REAL WORLD scenario and were fine

    • @IronBornRider
      @IronBornRider  11 месяцев назад +1

  • @mavicprah8063

    It looks amazing. On the other hand, there are helmets like the AGV Pista GP RR Carbonio (1500Eur), which also look amazing but are SOOOOOOO expensive, and they're more suited for the circuit than the street. So, I think this budget helmet looks really nice. I will probably buy it as my second helmet :) Cheers!

    • @IronBornRider
      @IronBornRider  5 месяцев назад +1

      Yeah the more I wear it the more I actually like it. Sure it’s not as good as more expensive brands but for the price it’s a great value

    I appreciate you reviewing unknown budget helmets but let's be honest, This isn't a proper review unless you're testing it's safety by destroying it and seeing what it survives. Without proper safety tests, it's just a good looking thing to put on your face without proper protection when it matters most. There's a reason why an expensive helmet is expensive, It's because it's safe to wear when you're in an accident.

    • @IronBornRider
      @IronBornRider  11 месяцев назад +5

      Fair statement, but I’m not exactly a safety expert so I wouldn’t know what to look for since Ive never broken a helmet on purpose. I just state what the manufacturer states on their website as I’ve done with all my other helmet videos. I have to disagree to some degree with your last statement - I don’t think there’s a direct correlation in price and safety, at least not always

    I went down with one of these helmets on in 2021.. my Harley high sided and landed on the helmet. it crushed my head, I ended up with a subdural acute hematoma and was practically spoon fed for 8 months. I highly advise you not to buy this helmet.

      My brother high sided his gsxr750 at 30 mph wearing an ILM full face. He literally went down and slid on the right side of his face. Not only did it save his face and head the helmet really only got scraped up. They are good helmets.

    Don’t buy any helmet unless it’s over $1000…… if you can’t afford it than don’t ride. Jk 😂 lots of people buy expensive helmets for status mostly…

    • @IronBornRider
