LS2 Storm Helmet Review | Great Looks but Worth Buying?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- I recently bought a new LS2 Storm in the Faster colour scheme, after using it quite a bit in a lot of mixed weather - and lots of questions on the helmet, I've put together this review. The only thing I would say this review is missing is long term durability over many miles and years, as I haven't done that yet, but I'll keep everyone up to date on Instagram and such :)

#ls2 #ls2helmets #review
What about you? Would you buy an LS2? What helmet should I try next?
Using an LS2 Storm myself or FF800 as it's also called. Very comfortable and excellent quality for its cost.
I forgot to mention the auld code :) I agree, as a more spur of the moment decision than I'd usually take I'm extremely happy with it!
Do you get a wind noise or not?
I just bought this in pink colour way and love it. Your review was very informative thank u
Ah very good!! I'm glad you found it helpful :) And enjoy the helmet! Mine is still flying it after quite a bit more use!
Love the detail on the review. You cracked me up with the chamfered vs fillet bit. :)
It's the only way I know how to do them 😂 One day I'll manage a short video 😂
Haha the internal fight to remember which was which 😂
I just bought one online and was looking for reviews on this helmet. Well, I stumbled on to your review.
I reaslly enjoyed your review on this helmet and think I will subscribe to your channel.
Glad you enjoyed it :) It's a lovely helmet!
the detaiLed review of the visor VERY MUCH HELPED with our decisions. THANK YOU ❤❤❤❤😊
Glad it was useful!
Wind noise at 100+kph is the largest deciding factor for me. Unfortunately it's hard to tell unless you try each one at those speeds and helmet retailers won't allow that!
Honestly I think all helmets are too loud above 100 for extended periods, it's why the noise of a helmet pretty much doesn't bother me as I wear ear plugs. After that it's more what I was getting at around the turbulence, nice smooth noise is fine, blustery horribleness is rotten.
Yeah it's a pity there's no way to test it really.
Seems like a very nice helmet. I personally like the weight and Snell approval of the Shoei helmets.
Very impressed with it so far, especially for the price! Snell isn't really a thing over here, it's more so on Sharp, same idea though I think! :) I would like to try a shoei at some point :)
That’s the helmet I’m using about 18 months and it’s a great helmet. Bit awkward for GoPro adapting but it’s done me a great bit of business for €135 with pinlock, for the Matte Black. The tab for the visor still works perfectly, The strap release red tab gets frayed but still works the same. Highly recommended.
I'm very happy with it so far anyway! I'll give it a good going for the next while anyway and see how it holds up :) I use a Dango-Design.co.uk thingy and it's perfect on it tbh.
@@TheGorillaBiker Cheers man much appreciated.
Do you also experience the water leakage and fogging of the sun visor? Thinking of buying one and those 2 issues in the review is slightly putting me off :(
Great review, so many outlets (resellers or paid promoters) simply aren’t talking about ECE 22.06, rather they just seem intent on flogging off their current stock with ECE 22.05 certification. If you’re not familiar with the difference between 05 and 06, it’s worth having a read of the testing scenarios.
Thanks, Yeah I think it might be that tbh, and a lot just don't seem to be certified to it, I've read it and it's actually an impressive update from a safety perspective really. I hope it does and intended and even cheaper helmets are just safe, I'd like there to be a point where everything was equally as safe but you paid more for comfort and looks etc etc.
@@TheGorillaBiker I tend to agree regarding certified helmets being of the same standard regardless of cost should offer the same minimum level of protect in an accident. I wear a Shoei NXR 2, and I really noticed with your review some of the quality of life differences between the NXR 2 and the LS2 you reviewed. Little things, but they probably add up. For example the visor locking mechanism on the sides to hold the visor, on the LS2 its obversely works, but the one on the Shoei is just nicer and better engineered, and some other bits and pieces. To be fair some of the cost difference between helmets is justified, some of it is the higher cost of marketing - how much does it cost to get a GP star to wear your helmet etc.
I use this helmet in the color scheme racer matt blue for about one year and like it a lot.
The only thing I don´t like very much is in the winter always enter lot of cold air from the front vent even when it is closed.
I do motovlogging and with the action cam on the chin is not easy open the visor, the solution I gonna try is to move the cam a little bit down.
Great review I agree you in everything
Ah very nice! That's true it can be a breezy helmet, I wear a warm hood thing under the helmet in winter anyway so it's not too bad.
Mine is also on the chin, a clamped on Dango designs one, that works well and I can still open the visor :) You could try that style either :)
Thanks!
Great review mate. 👍 I love Loud Colours in helmets 😀the CBF would look class in them colour, one problem is the amount of road crap on our roads you'd need to clean every other day, the black is defo easier to keep
Gracias amigo! Haha that's because you're a human of the finest culture ya see.
I know it'd be easier keep......but I'm actually half tempted to see could I get the stupidest livery in the history of bike made up for the CBF now :D
Got the Titanium color, it's so dope. I'm the kind of guy that don't like attention, so my helmets are low key in color. hehe... Got more excited to use it after watching your review. just waiting for the com to arrive. Thanks...
Haha the titanium is a lovely colour on them to be fair! I like bright colours for Ireland, especially during winter riding to work in the dark and rain!
I hope you get on with it as well as I have!
I tried LS2 helmets back when I was just starting to figure out motorcycle gear. The ones I got either gave me bad headaches after a bit, or fell apart. Finally settled on a Scorpion R420. Then got a Scorpion ST1400 Carbon Fiber, and I upgraded to an Scorpion EXO R1. I am absolutely in LOVE with this helmet. Even with the gopro mount on the front, it doesn't get drag from higher winds. It is, hands down, my favorite helmet and I plan to stick with this design for a long time to come. Yeah its at a higher price point, but I'd say as someone who rides year around, this is the best helmet I have ever owned. It comes with a clear visor, and shaded, and both are pinlock ready. AND it comes with a pinlock. Its well worth the price. If you've not checked this helmet out, I highly recommend it. It's also very light even though its not carbon fiber. I am so impressed by the quality and design.
Interesting! I know with the headaches it's likely your head shape, I know loads of people who had similar issues with Arai, disappointing to hear it fell apart tho, and it'll be interesting to see how this one lasts!
Scorpion is a brand I've never tried but am definitely interested in trying at some point, I really want to try the R1 myself, is that the one with the inflatable cheekpads? Quarteraro style. That's a pretty huge recommendation I'll definitely have to give one a go :D
Price wouldn't bother me to invest in, but I wont buy a helmet without trying it on and that's where my issues start, it's rare here to find the helmet I want in my size to try on, and shops wont order them for you unless you buy them. :( Plus I don't have much money on hand ever but that's a different story :D
@@TheGorillaBiker I've heard people say Scorpions run small. Honestly I wear an XS and it fits me perfectly. Most helmets in that size suit me even with my chipmunk cheeks. You may be able to see if they'd be willing to return it if it won't fit. If not, then definitely go somewhere else. Or try on different Scorpion helmets in XL. They all fit about the same. Then at least you know what size to order if you decide to give it a nice test run. This one is intermediate oval so it should fit fine since that's what your LS2 is.
Yes it has the inflatable cheeks. As the padding wears down from use, the air pouches help take up the space so it fits snug and does its job. My ST1400 also had it. It works great! And is very comfortable. The lining feels quality, and is very comfortable too.
There's another youtuber who did a review on it. MotoTigress is her name. Video name is: Motorcycle Helmet Review: Scorpion EXO-R1 Air Carbon-- Pleasant Surprise! if you wanna check that out :3 She goes over all the features of the R1 and her personal pros and cons of it. Would love to see you do a review as well. Be very interested in your thoughts.
I never thought I would see 30c in Ireland, but last summer I was in Connemara in full leathers when it hit 31c. And so began my journey into the world of mesh jackets.
Haha I was up in the north when wed that heatwave and it's the first time I've ever went without a jacket for a short spin. It was blisteringly hot
@@TheGorillaBiker I nearly dropped the bike when the footrest sank into the road, and had to keep dumping water on myself all the way back to Dublin
Yeah it was mental. The place isnt set up for it 😂
Luckily I didn't have to go far. Could cope with that heat I had my textiles on 😂😂 Dumping water would have helped tho
Excellent review and I would not think you would be alone in your preference to the DD 😉
Thanks...also hahahahaha I had not spotted that 😂😂😂
I don't get much accomplished with gloves and double d rings on my helmet either. I totally agree with the visor tab being located on the side versus center. My current Sedici is the first helmet with a center tab on the visor and I don't like it either, side tabs is the way to go! I refuse to live without the speaker cut outs now that I have a helmet with them. Good review seems like a great product I would consider one.
It's pretty much impossible, I remember I did my helmet up once with light gloves on and felt like a god. Yeah It's annoying as hell reaching all the way to the front, we only have t rex arms dammit!! I do still admit it's probably for a better seal but sure look, give us side tabs!!
Yeah they're a lot comfier and really no excuse not to build them in to all modern helmets! Gracias amigo :)
LS2 Storm User Here. 🤙

Much Love From Philippines. 🇵🇭
Ah hello fellow brother of my helmet 😂😂
You too bud!
How is the stability at high speed?
@@shivalkathe It is stable during high speed due to its design. Highly Recommended. 👍
Grand lid had one for a while. Bought a AGV K5 lid for Bandit. And vent clip disintegrated after a wet weather spin. I owned an Arai Roberts Blue RR yrs ago, needed ear plugs for riding! Expensive but best lid I've ever owned.
I like it a lot so far, only time wil tell how well it holds up over time! Ah arai are next level quality helmets, I'd like to get one eventually, my nice helmet, the RPHA 11 is a beaut tho
Looks a decent quality helmet for the price. I tend to keep buying Shoei because they are so comfortable but they've annoyed me by now linking up with a dedicated Sena integrated coms. With the Sena prep it's difficult to fit my Cardo Packtalk Bold in the regular place.
I'm very impressed with everything so far, except the sun visor :P I'll eventually buy a Shoei, just every time it comes to new helmet time the shops I'm near don't have them, or not in my size etc, but one day!
I've heard a few people aren't happy with the Sena thing, I hope Sena paid them a lot at least to get in there as pissing off your customer base is a bad idea.
Great review Michael. I have an LS2 Subverter MX lid, and that crashed very well, no headaches even after crashing it on tarmac.
hahaha... poor CBF :D
Thanks :) That's good to hear! It's hard for companies to submit every helmet for extra testing like Sharp etc but I've honestly very rarely heard a bad word about LS2.
Hahaha I've made moves to wrap it 😂
@@TheGorillaBiker oh god, the poor bike! :D
😂😂😂😂😂 It'll be visible from space
@@TheGorillaBiker :D It is weird, I've been shouting at Triumph to go back to their old lary colours like the lime greens and tango orange... I do like loud paint schemes :D
That’s a beautiful looking helmet.
It's so purdy :P
Just bought an LS 2 helmet, and than saw your review 😀
I'm glad you like the helmet 👍👍
Greetings from the Netherlands 👍
Haha it's a very good helmet for the money, I since rode a bike back from Germany with it as well in January and it was perfect!
Do you have the issue of water leaking into the visor and the sun visor fogging up?
got my LS2 Assault in battleship grey, it was slightly tight at first but now it's perfect
I love that colour! I hope it keeps treating you well.
The CBF in that color scheme would be an improvement. Do it!
I have begun proceedings of looking in to is it doable :P
Nufinish car polish applied to a clean visor and sun screen= fogproof.
I wish Cycle Gear had LS2's my size when I was shopping for a helmet, I am saving for a modular to get before summer...if the apocalypse doesn't happen.
Ah it's a pity they didn't!! That's often what it comes down to tho, what fits and what's acceptable that fits! Ah there isn't another one due is there?? :D
‘…except for one thing…’ lol, brilliant
I was wondering would that get a laugh :D
What an review!! Nice!
Thanks!
I was keen on one of these as it has the John McPhee Saltire replica 🏴. Going to have a think. Probably can't wrong for the price.
I never had any issues with mine, I have it at home in Ireland now for when I'm back there but I'd buy one again!
If you remove that sunvisor and polish it with shaving foam or anti dandruff shampoo it should help stop it fogging up.
You can't remove the sun visor it's built in, I have an anto fog spray coat on it now which is all well and good, they should come ready to go with anto fog imo tho :)
@@TheGorillaBiker It should come out, it was fitted after the helmet was made so if there's a way to put it in there's a way to take it out!!
You can even buy a darker one or an orange one which are great for dull rainy days.
Good review, I never heard of Ls2 tbh. Have you had much expirience with AGV?
Oh really? A lot of instructors and schools and such use them here. No I've never owned one.
@@TheGorillaBiker yup I have only had HJC's and AGV's. on a side note I was watching some workshop videos, the huska trashed ones, (love the delboy rants!) and saw a coment from yourself. Looks like your a fan to :)
@@eddmelter1012 HJC, MT and now LS2 is what I've used....I tend to aim more for budget :D I'll eventually try as many brands as possible tho :P
Haha Matt's hilarious :D
@@TheGorillaBiker hes doing live streams with other youtubers hes saying. I'd watch a gorilla biker/Matt banter video.. just saying :)
Haha I'm not big on live streams anyway cus I rarely have time these days....also.....god no he'd destroy me 😂
Interesting review. I'm not in to full face helmets any longer. Since trying my first open face but with a full visor I'm a convert. I now have an Airoh Executive modular helmet with the chin bar removed. The air flow is great and even in winter doesn't feel that cold with my beard😁The additional view to either side is so much better than a full face and using a full face recently it felt quite claustrophobic and limited vision. If you can find this type of helmet to review as a contrast, that's be great😄
I see you've attracted a wannabe troll. At least you know you're getting good when some sad sack tries to have a go at you😂👍
Thanks! I will have a look and see can I source one to try, anything that's not a full face generally makes me nervous though I feel naked :D But, no point in not giving something a try!
Haha I'll reply to him eventually, I had to approve the comment and all as youtube flagged it as bad or whatever, worst attempt at insulting someone I've ever seen :D
@@TheGorillaBiker Only one thing with the modular/open face. No chin bar, no GoPro mount! Hmm
@Shalin The bike I ride has a screen which gives a small amount of buffeting. Noise levels vary and I wear ear plugs as a matter of course whatever helmet I wear. I would say it is noisier than a full face helmet, but that's my subjective view. In the UK the national speed limit is 70mph and I generally don't exceed 130kph except in short bursts. Hope that helps :)
Another great review
Thanks :)
The polymer shell is light but strong, you need the shell to be flexible enough to absorb the impact.
I'm not sure what part of the video you're referring to, but if it's the section with the flexibility due to the drop down visor.....then yes you need the shell to be flexible however that level of weakness is not great imo. In comparison to helmets with no visor that are used for racing I wouldn't be delighted with it. That said. I wear it so it doesn't concern me that much!
Great review. Thanks.
Thanks!
Do it cos done in the right way it could be awesome ,I have ta say though double d's are for me and I have had one accident were my head actually hit the curb and knocked me out when a car ran me over after hitting me and I had a glass fiber helmet then it didn't crack and had a big sort of strip of damage right across the top . Now I don't know how a poly carb helmet would have faired but I have never had one since that episode . But hey each to his own I do currently have an Arai in matt ( just ta throw that in there ) but I do find that side vision is not great that would be my only criticism and it has now sun visor. Interesting topic there GB cheers : )
Ah fair, I've seen actual mechanical test results off them and tbh if a micrometric was to give way you have a whole lot of other issues 😬
On the helmet material yes I do prefer a composite helmet as they definitely spread out any impact or damage a hell of a lot better than the larger crack thermoplastic usually do, that said modern helmets are all way way better safety wise so it generally doesn't concern me if its a brand with a good rep.
Arai are way out of my price range sadly for a daily winter helmet they get destroyed 😭
You can get those external sun visors for arai, I do think that's a far better tech than the internal ones.
Thanks :)
@@TheGorillaBiker Thanks now that is very interesting as I did not realize that ya can get an external sun visor I do have a dark one but changing them is pain did it once and haven't managed it since . : D Chao amigo
Nice video 👍🏿I have a Ls2 Rapid I'm looking to get my Next Ls2 Helmet Now
Thanks! Very good! My favorite helmet I currently have is a HJC RPHA 11, but they're literally 2+ times the price!
@@TheGorillaBiker i brought the hashtag ls2 helmet something different and rare on the road for my second full face
I have a lot of half helmets but after a accident I don't feel safe with half helmets any more I ride Electric Dirt bikes
The SUR-RON
@@Luckysintro yeah I'm a full face human myself, wouldn't ever be mad on even trying a half helmet! Oh cool! Id love to try one
@@TheGorillaBiker so much fun really nothing to it turn and go but with lots of power
Well keep making the great videos 💯🏍️
First of all thumbs uop for the Review! Just Bought mine and am trying to solve a mystery about air coming into my eyes with everything from the air fends etc shut! Any ideas what's going on here?
Thanks! I have not experienced that at all, the only time the air feels slightly weird is at speed with the visor up and the sun visor down, but otherwise I've never noticed air in to my eyes sorry!
Would you say it has a tight or comfy fit? I mean, for someone with head size between 60/61, what size would you choose?
I would say neutral, not super comfy and not super tight. Well I'm a 60cm and I went with XL as it fit better, I usually wear a L in other brands. Try one on tho is the best way to do it if you can.
@@TheGorillaBiker thank you, your answer is very appreciated.
No problem! :)
Thanks you very nice video. Cheers
Thanks!
Hey thanks for your insights, i just want to know the difference between storm and storm 2 as they're available for a similar price in India
I don't know honestly, I haven't bought the Storm 2.
Hi. You've mentioned you're a 60cm and wears XL. Have you tried the Large size upon buying your helmet? How was it? I'm 59 and i am planning to buy a Large size Storm online.
I did try the large, I found the large was too tight on my forehead, ideally I think the XL skull section of the pads with the large size cheek pads would have been ideal. I think if you're 1cm smaller a large would be grand.
Yes paint it! The CBF is not doing itself any favours in basic black. Helmets are all about fit. I really struggle to get small sizes here. You would think in a country of midgets small size helmets would be the norm, but no. Everyone wears a hat, cap, jilbab under their helmet, or wants their mobile phone stuck up inside so they can use it while riding. . . . Health & Safety 😉
I've looked into getting it liveried rather than painted :P But....I'm actually going to do it if it's not stupid money :P I agree, I've rarely had trouble luckily as I'm middle of the pack head size here it would seem.
That's crazy :D I've seen photos with lads who have phones jammed up their helmets, no bloody way would do that :D
great review. same helmet. diff color.
Thanks! I recently wore this one riding all the way back from Germany in rain storms so I'm even more impressed now :D
do you mount a gopro to that helmet? could you do an overview of the mounts you use per helmet? Thanks!
I do indeed, I'm actually doing a video very soon on mounts and such, so absolutely! :)
I recently crashed with my Mt thunder 3 and can't choose between buying the thunder 3 again or getting the ff800.
What would you choose between these 2 since you've used both?
Thanks
Ah not so good, you're ok after it anyway are you?
I think the Storm, it's lasting better than the MT so far and has already done about 5000km on my noggin in mainly bad weather. Yeah I think I'd go for the LS2 :)
@@TheGorillaBiker I luckily got away with minor abrasion.
I'm going to get the ls2 titanium colorway and get back to riding.
Thanks!
Glad to hear it :)
Ah I've seen one of those in the flesh, very nice looking :) Best of luck!
Nice looking lid
It is indeed :)
Thanks for the video I check out it !
Not at all, thanks for watching :)
I've never heard anything bad about ls2 helmets so the must be decent 👍
Either that or they're so bad anyone who had an off in one can't give out about them :P
@@TheGorillaBiker I might be 6 months late to the party but my first LS2 helmet held up very nicely when falling out of the air! much better than my colorbone too...
just bought the storm after this review and couldnt leave it there being sold for 100€ instead of the normal 170€.
thanks for helping me make my decision!
how did you put cardo packtalk on the side of LS2 STORM?
Originally used the slide on clip but it was very hard to get on, since I bought the new set I used the stick on 3M mount.
Does water get into the inside of this helmet? I have the titanium one and when caught on a pourdown water gers inside, I'm thinking it came out defective.
I only ever had a drip come down the inside of the visor in REALLY heavy, persistent rain, never inside the helmet though, definitely worth reaching out to them if it's very bad, are you closing off the vents when it rains?
Im more so going off the features and the price. I keep looking around but always get drawn back to the value of this helmet. I must say though have still not biught one. I love in Australia, so hope this will be okay in australian hell heat summers.
Im still not sure.
Yeah it's a great helmet for the price, It was fine in Florida summer heat, I mean as fine as a full face can be, so I'd say it'd probably be ok depending on your ability to withstand suffocating summer heat. As it turns out, I'm ok with it.
Ls2 storm or Mt revenge 2 or kyt tt course which one should you prefer?
Haven't tried the the MT or KYT. But I'm very happy with my LS2.
@@TheGorillaBiker thanks😇
Between this and the Mt helmets targo hich one you would choose?
I haven't ever worn a targo so I couldn't really recommend it. MT make good helmets too in my experience though. It'd fall to your preference.
Have you a review on the shark d skwal 2? It’s either this helmet you reviewed or the shark as my first helmet
No I have not, I only have reviewed helmets I've bought and actually used a lot so that's 3 total, sorry!
Is there an alternative model to the LS2 storm? Store in my location has no stock for my size. Preferrably LS2.
Not that I'm aware of and I couldn't recommend any other LS2 as I haven't worn any other one, sorry!
Swapping my HJC C70 for this helmet. The hjc is just too tight on the ear cartilage even without speakers on 🙉
That's fair, I definitely found this roomier for my ear speakers than the HJC!
Did you swap? Which one do you like more :D
I like the LS2 better. HJC too tight for my ears @@brbrbrbrbrbrrb
@@MotoArchPHAwesome, thank you for reply bro. Did you try Stream too? I am deciding between Storm and Stream now
Sir i hve found one little peice inside helmate can you tell me what is that
If its a brand new helmet it's probably the chin skirt that you have to just attach.
What happened to your Hjc? I can't see a link to the story, thanks.
Ahhhhh I may have forgotten to put the link as usual sorry 😂 A stone or a chunk of a car or something hit it as the car was crashing, this is the link: ruclips.net/video/_qA4x0-R8P0/видео.html
My dream is a helmet as simple as possible for the shape and with as little gadget as possible: no pin lock, no sun visor, no fancy micrometric lock...and no paint, just a good primer, ready to paint...so I can have it matching my bikes with any fancy graphics I can find...
But that pretty much exists apart from the primer thing :) You can get loads of normal shaped helmets with d ring straps and no pinlock etc. There is an absolute load of the available. Micrometric straps aren't fancy tho, they're pretty much the cheapest most common strap you can get really. The Double D is stronger and in my opinion better, but micrometric is usually cheaper. So definitely not fancy at all :)
What's your head circumference and is the XL a comfortable fit?
Haha straight in there eh :D No hello or anything :P
I'm 60cm on the button but the XL fits nice and snug and is comfortable, did I not say it was comfy in the video? Sorry if I forgot to.
I have one ls2 like that the wind noise is an acceptable in 100kph +
Do you mean unacceptable or acceptable? Sorry not being a smartass just not sure. I never had an issue at any speed personally.
I have this helmet. Its brilliant but one downfall it gets a bit noisy compared to the more expensive higher band helmets.
Ah nice! I don't actually find it noisy compared to the HJC which was pricier and the MT which was a bit noisier again. The HJC RPHA 11 is also as noisy and they're expensive....I have heard tho that shoei is a bit quiet in fairness.
But the ECE 22.06 regs are limiting how quiet a helmet can be anyway!
I'm about to wrap my gsxr in a very similar orange...don't laugh to much!
I won't laugh, you know I'll love it :D
Just as well you retracted your lack of regard for your beautiful head. You need to protect it for Toaster.
Hahahahaha. Glad you thought of me.
I would definitely consider HJC and love the loud colours.
The CBF in those colours would look rad. You’d have to buy a new helmet though because you’d look silly having a matching helmet my boy racer. Hahahahahaha
Haha I knew you'd be the one to notice it and come.hunting for me 😂
HJC and LS2 or just HJC :P
I'm thinking of doing a small addition.....I'll keep it secret until the reveal :P
@@TheGorillaBiker I don’t know. Too many letters. The one one your not so large head.
I can't wear this helmet for more than 45 minutes, I get a numb forehead caused by a seam in the front of the top lining. Looking for a different brand so I can enjoy my rides again.
Sorry to hear that! I never experienced that myself. You may be best going getting your head measured and try figure out your head shape, that's likely the main cause of any discomfort
Yeah, i measure 58.5 cm which is in-between M & L in the LS2 size chart & I let the sales guy talk me into going size down into a Medium.
I have since changed brands to where 58.5 is right in the middle of large & it fits perfectly.
Hi, I bought the same helmet but when I ride the motorcycle up to 90km/h the helmet begins to whistle. Do you have the same problem?
No I never had that issue at any speed! Might be a combo of your bikes windshield and the helmet maybe
@@TheGorillaBiker what motorcycle do you have? I have the Honda Hornet 2007/2013.
I've used that helmet across about 10 bikes total, maybe more. My daily when I was using it was a CBF1000.
Ls2 with a fluffy cover hahahaha
If you do the cbf in that colour scheme it will be the only one in the world with it I’d say
Hahahaha....no :D Imagine getting caught in the rain with one of them it'd stink :D
I'd imagine so, it'd either be rotten or brilliant :D
What about size please ? Heard a lot about LS2 runnning small compare to the size chart of helmet size ?
Thanks
Yeah I went one size up, I'd always recommend trying a helmet on if you can.
Thanks for your answer.
No problem

wind noise reduction is good for this price range of helmets?
Well, that depends on what you're comparing it to relatively, it was quieter than my HJC but if wind noise is an issue I'd honestly just recommend ear plugs!
Hi. Can you share wind noise level for this helmet?
I never measured it. It's not super quiet and as I said in the video I wear ear plugs.
Is the padding removable and washable?
Yes indeed
I am facing too much wind noise above 50km/hr for the same helmet. What might be the reason?
Depends on your bike tbh, windscreen size and shape is often the biggest reason for very loud wind. Do you wear earplugs?
No i do not wear earplugs.
No i do not wear earplugs
@@bivekpokhrel9822 if you have fairings its the only thing likely to ever really help unless you buy some of the higher end helmets.
This ain’t too bad for its price.
I liked it anyway, currently I have it left in Ireland so I have a Helmet when I visit home.
get the paint out.. thanks for the vid.
Haha I'm looking in to it 😂
Remids me of spiderman. And totally looks red to me. Not orange.
Well, not to be rude, but your eyes might not be working correctly :P
Neck or headsock = balaclava?
No a balaclava is the yoke that's used for robbing shops etc. It has the face or eye holes.
A necksock is something different and special.
@@TheGorillaBiker There is a half balaclava that only covers the neck.
