I received my 2nd Helmet (here via Skroutz). And what I saw as soon as I opened the box and saw it, was one with capital letters: "WOOOOW".
Incredible helmet. The photos (mine and on Skroutz) really do it injustice.
Up close, the helmet is very "Impressive".
The helmet has an inner lining, on the roof - right - left.
A lining that can be removed and washed.
But for me personally, there was a basic detail when I went to wear it to try it on:
* As an XL (Extra Large) helmet and my head being 58cm (centimeters) at the forehead, the helmet would not go on my head at all. No matter how much pressure I applied to put it on. I got to the point of thinking that if I put it on even with demonic pressure, it would never come off again.
I tried once, twice... Nothing!
.
- So I thought to do a "Return of the Helmet + Refund... I made the Return Request and then left for work (as a driver in a Mercedes Sprinter) because I was pressed for time...
.
After I returned home. I thought, should I try one more time to put it on, to see if it would fit?
It didn't fit even the 3rd time.
So what did I do? What did I come up with?
I removed the 2 Removable Linings (with Velcro + 1 button) on the helmet, "Right and Left", and the Helmet went on my head immediately with just one little push.
I looked at myself in the mirror, and it was "WOOOOW".
- So I didn't think much. I ran and CANCELED the Helmet Return + Refund, and said "That's it, I'll keep it".
.
I will just wear the helmet with the only washable inner lining it has, on the roof as we say (inside).
Anyway, even without the washable inner lining "Right + Left" (my cheeks), the helmet is awesome.
You might say, of course, in case of an accident (knock on wood) you won't have protection though...
Never mind... Will the helmet save you if you are going, say, 150-200 km/h and crash and fall on the asphalt and break all your bones? (and that's the end?)
So, I also changed the Clear Visor, with the 2nd (Tinted) visor that was included in the box, and the Helmet just became very "SWAT" as we say.
There is no way you go for a ride somewhere and not get noticed (especially if you have an R1-GSXR-PANIGALE etc...).
I guarantee you this with my eyes closed... (for those who buy it)!
.
For me personally, apart from the above detail, that I couldn't wear the helmet with the 2 washable linings Right + Left (which I permanently removed in the end)
The other Minus this helmet has, is the buckle when you have worn the helmet.
It's not so easy to fasten, it takes practice 1-2 times until you memorize how it fastens, but after you look at the Manual, see the pictures, how it fastens on your neck!
.
P.S.: Finally, I want to apologize to Skroutz, that I rushed to make a "Return Request" for the Helmet, and after I returned home from work, I "Canceled" the request, because I decided to keep the Helmet (even if I wear it without the 2 linings right-left).
And also I wonder... How come such a Beautiful Helmet hasn't sold out yet... Once you see it up close, there are simply no words!
