Unisex-Adult Open Face Motorcycle Helmet

I have a difficult shape head but the XXXL fit me just fine! The liner is comfortable and the drop down shade covers just enough to provide additional sun protection. My only gripe with the helmet is the amount of wind noise. The visor has a lip to make the air flow smoother but I think the most noise comes from the sides where the visor pivots. The helmet's edge is rather prominent in relation to the visor so I think that is what is making most of the wind noise. As I wear ear plugs when riding, it is fine but noticeable nonetheless. The material used for the helmet is a step up from the bargain helmets and the fittings/trim feel high quality especially for the price.

I didn't add a photo, because the stock image is an exact match for what I received. I had tried on a few XL helmets at the dealership where I bought my Spyder, but those felt like they were ripping my ears off and REALLY triggered claustrophobia. Since this one is considered a 3/4 versus full because it doesn't have a fixed piece around the chin and allows a little flexibility in pulling it out to put it on, I went with the 2XL which matched what was advised based on my measurements. It fits snuggly, as it should, but it allows me to put it on without having my ears ripped off. I rode a few days around town without a helmet while I waited on this one to arrive, so I can say that the "Noise" complaints some have stated about this are not really that significant to me. With my wife riding behind me, and also wearing a helmet, I can still hear her when she leans forward to say something to me... though at full road speed of 70-75 MPH it is more difficult to do so. It is relatively cool when heading down the highway, though not as cooling as without a helmet, but certainly much safer with it. It also has an internal Sunscreen piece that can be raised and lowered, and I've found that to work great for me and my personal needs. It provides adequate shielding from the sun without compromising safety by trying to wear shades under the helmet. For the money, this helmet exceeded my expectations, and I would definitely consider another in the future if I should need to replace this one.

I have worn a similar style Vega helmet for the past six years, and I purchased this one as a "just like what I had" replacement. In fact, it's a significant upgrade from my older helmet, and I like it a lot--with one large and one small complaint.Positives: Very comfortable. Very good fit and finish. Good quality materials. Visor mechanism works very smoothly. I like the quick connect/disconnect strap. Very reasonable price for what you get. There are a lot of "very" adjectives here--I quite like this helmet.Big Negative: This helmet is NOISY. Lots and lots of wind noise starting around 30 mph. I ride in urban/suburban traffic and normally don't get much faster than that, but I went up to 50, and the wind noise was starting to get painful. Angling my head to change how air flows over the helmet did not seem to make much of a difference.Small negative: The built-in sun visor works smoothly, has an easy to use control, and cuts glare a good amount. However, for me, the visor is about 1/2" too short, so it ends within my field of vision--meaning that there's a bright stripe at the bottom of my sight, even with it down. So close... but not quite perfect.

I’ve been trying to replace my Nolan that I’ve had 13 years I did buy a inexpensive bell helmet a half helmet it’s ok for a back up or second rider I tried on several helmets that did fit well very very tight fit X/L still to tight but this Vega I purchased for less money fit perfectly size large it’s a 3/4 helmet with 2 shields 2 vents on top of the helmet that actually work quick snap chin strap I hate them ring fasteners first test was out on the interstate I’ve had helmets that bounce around this one stayed tight and quite 70 80 mph I was impressed the Nolan seems to have a little more quality but all and all the Vega is a better helmet at a faction of the cost needless to say I’m very happy with this purchase
