It is round, wide and unusually low-set, and against an unbroken black shell it reads as the whole face of the helmet rather than as a window in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFive SHARP stars — and which Glamster earned them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive out of five stars from SHARP\u003c\/strong\u003e, the independent helmet safety programme run by the UK Department for Transport — tested in May 2025, to ECE 22.06, at a measured 1.3 kg.

Three outer shell sizes keep the volume honest across the range, and a reflective surface traces the curvature so the compactness is visible rather than merely claimed — put it next to a modern sport-touring full-face and the difference is obvious. Black also does something specific to the round aperture: with no colour break anywhere on the shell, the eye reads the opening as a single dark shape, which is exactly the effect the helmets this one references had. Upkeep is the standard gloss-black bargain. Road film against dark clear coat is maximum contrast, dry-wiping leaves permanent swirls, and a wash with plenty of water followed by a clean dry cloth keeps it looking new for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer shell is \u003cstrong\u003eAIM\u003c\/strong\u003e — Advanced Integrated Matrix — a fibreglass composite combining several fibre materials into a deliberately compact, small-looking shell. Beneath it sits a polystyrene core assembled from elements of differing absorption, so impact energy spreads through the structure rather than concentrating at one point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chin strap is a \u003cstrong\u003edouble-D ring\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the cheek pads can be pulled out by first responders through the \u003cstrong\u003eEQRS\u003c\/strong\u003e system for a controlled removal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CPB-1V visor — and the sun shield that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eCPB-1V\u003c\/strong\u003e visor keeps the classic round shape that defines the Glamster's face and is entirely modern in function: a wide field of view, a redesigned mechanism that is easy to work in gloves, and a \u003cstrong\u003ePinlock® EVO anti-fog lens supplied in the box\u003c\/strong\u003e with spare pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 There is \u003cstrong\u003eno integrated sun visor\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Pulling the value down and warming it slightly is what separates a 2020s helmet from one that looks like it came out of a 1970s paddock, and on a shell with this silhouette the difference decides the whole impression. It is also the most useful base colour in the range for anyone who plans to add tape stripes or a roundel — a graphic version cannot be modified, a plain off-white shell can. Practically it carries every advantage of a pale helmet: it reflects solar energy a dark shell absorbs, and it is meaningfully easier to see in dull light at head height. What it does not do is hide a wet week; off white shows road film sooner than anything else here except the yellow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThree outer shell sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — XS–M, L and XL–XXL — are what keep the compact silhouette in proportion at every size.

Strip the shine off the shell and the classic silhouette becomes a shape you have chosen rather than a period you are re-enacting — particularly on a modern naked bike, where a gloss retro helmet can look borrowed. The finish also suits the helmet's construction story. This is a shell that looks fifty years old and holds a SHARP five-star rating from May 2025; matt makes that contradiction feel deliberate. Living with it is straightforward with one rule: matt clear coat is washed, never polished. There is no gloss layer to buff a mark out of, and it holds dust and dried water spots more visibly than any shiny finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEQRS\u003c\/strong\u003e is the detail most riders never think about and occasionally need.

Against a stone grey shell it reads as what it is: a metal component on a painted one. That is the sort of thing this helmet is full of and the reason grey suits it better than it suits most helmets. The practical case is separate and just as strong. Grey sits at the point on the value scale where road film, dust and dried water all show least, which makes it the lowest-maintenance finish in the range by a clear margin. It is also meaningfully more visible than black in exactly the light that matters — dull, flat, urban — without being a bright colour.

Abiding works by staying flat and geometric — areas of colour rather than sweeping shapes — which is how helmets were actually painted before large-format printing existed. In TC-1 the red is the dominant field, and it is the version that reads most clearly as heritage rather than as decoration. Conspicuity is good: red is a high-saturation colour that holds up against tarmac, though it fades faster than most under sustained UV. 🔵 The graphic premium is 100 € over a solid, and a decor cannot be touched in if it is chipped — both worth knowing before choosing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA double-D ring takes a moment longer than a ratchet and gives exactly the same tension every time.

The human eye resolves yellow faster than any other colour against a dull background, which is precisely the condition in which motorcyclists are most often not seen — flat light, cluttered urban scenery, a driver at a junction with a fraction of a second to decide. A yellow helmet sits at head height, above the headlight, where the eye actually scans. The Abiding drawing keeps it from looking like safety equipment: the geometry is period, not modern, so the helmet reads as a racing colour rather than as a workwear one. 🔵 Yellow shows dirt as readily as white and fades under UV faster than a dark colour. Neither is a reason not to buy it; both are reasons to wash it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompactness on a full-face is structural, not cosmetic.

A grey-and-silver treatment carries no reference to a particular season's palette, so it stays legible as design rather than becoming a marker of when the helmet was bought. On this shell it also does something the coloured versions cannot — because nothing competes for attention, the shape itself stays the main event, which on a helmet whose whole appeal is its silhouette is the right priority. 🔵 The trade-offs are the usual graphic ones. It is 100 € over a solid, a stone chip through a printed layer cannot be touched in, and conspicuity is mid-range at best — better than the matt black, well short of the TC-3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo components do the protective work and they do different jobs.

Abiding is a period drawing — the sort of thing a paint shop could have masked and sprayed in 1975. Blast is not pretending to be; it is a contemporary graphic applied to a classic shell, and the tension between the two is deliberate. On a modern naked or a café-styled machine it works considerably better than a strictly period decor. In red it is the loudest version of that idea. Conspicuity is strong, UV fade is the usual red weakness, and the graphic premium is 100 € over a solid. 🔵 As with every decor, a deep scratch through the print cannot be touched in the way a solid can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have not used a double-D ring before, practise it once at home rather than for the first time in a car park.

It is a genuinely bright value, so it does most of what a white helmet does for conspicuity in dull light, but it is a colour rather than an absence of one — which means it works with a motorcycle instead of disappearing next to it. It is also the version of the Blast graphic where the drawing is easiest to read, because a pale field gives the design more contrast to work against than a dark one does. Practically, pale finishes show dust more and road film less than you expect, and light blue in particular is forgiving of the fine swirls that gloss black shows immediately. 🔵 The graphic premium is 100 € over a solid, and printed layers cannot be touched in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22.06\u003c\/strong\u003e approval means the whole current schedule, not a subset: impact testing at several energies and points, oblique impact, abrasion, retention strength and visor optics.

That matters practically: if you later want a matching visor tint, a spare part ordered against your helmet or a second helmet in the family, the parts catalogue works from the TC number rather than from the word „Blast\". It is printed on the box and on the label under the padding. As a finish this is the graphic for riders who want the shell to look considered rather than plain, without the helmet becoming the loudest thing they are wearing. 🔵 Conspicuity is correspondingly low — for year-round urban use, the Off White or Basalt Grey do more for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Glamster06 is built the way Shoei builds its sports helmets, with a different shape imposed on top.

That combination suits the Glamster06 particularly well, because the helmet's appeal has never been about standing out; it is about a silhouette that most modern helmets have abandoned. A neutral decor lets the shape stay the subject while still giving the shell more to look at than paint. Against the solids, be honest about the arithmetic: 100 € more, a surface that cannot be touched in if chipped, and a helmet that is marginally harder to match with accessories later. Against the coloured graphics, it will look current for considerably longer. 🔵 Conspicuity is mid-range — better than any black in this range, well short of the TC-3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoei does not use a single polystyrene density throughout.

On most full-face helmets a colour split either stops at the chin bar or jumps awkwardly over it; here both shades stay inside one family, so the transition reads as depth rather than as a boundary. From a few metres it looks like a single blue that shifts as the helmet turns. Blue is also the most forgiving gloss colour to own: it holds less contrast against road film than black and shows less dust than any pale shade, which puts it squarely in the middle of the maintenance range. Conspicuity sits above the dark solids and below the Abiding TC-3. If you want colour on the Glamster06 without paying the graphic premium, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, three shells, double-D and EQRS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing about this helmet's construction is period.

The shell recedes, and what your eye lands on instead is the imitation smooth and nubuck leather edging around the opening — which is the whole point of a helmet built to look like a 1970s piece rather than a 2020s one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The J•O2 has \u003cstrong\u003eno chin bar\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is certified under ECE 22.06 in the open-face category, and that category does not include the chin and jaw protection a full-face shell provides — the chin region takes a substantial share of impacts in real crashes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is the trade you are making for the openness, the view and the air. It deserves to be made deliberately rather than by default.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the gloss black finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jet helmet has an unusually strong relationship with its trim, because the face opening is enormous compared with a full-face and the edging runs all the way around it. On the gloss black J•O2 that edging is the design: black lacquer against the matte grain of imitation nubuck is a two-texture contrast that a matt shell flattens out. It is also the finish that photographs the shell's actual size honestly — four outer shell sizes mean the small heads get a genuinely small helmet, and a reflective surface shows the curvature that makes it look compact. The maintenance is the standard gloss-black bargain: road film against dark clear coat is maximum contrast, dry-wiping scratches it, washing wet and drying with a clean cloth does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outer shell is \u003cstrong\u003eAIM\u003c\/strong\u003e — Advanced Integrated Matrix — Shoei's fibreglass composite, built from several fibre materials laid up together rather than a single mat. Beneath it sits a polystyrene core assembled from elements of differing density, so impact energy spreads through the structure instead of concentrating at one point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chin strap is a \u003cstrong\u003edouble-D ring\u003c\/strong\u003e: the closure racers have used for decades. It takes a moment longer than a ratchet, and in exchange it gives exactly the same tension every time, with nothing inside it to wear out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated clear visor drops into \u003cstrong\u003ethree defined positions\u003c\/strong\u003e — fully down, part-way for airflow, or up out of the way — and its lower edge is rounded rather than straight, which keeps it from cutting a line across your field of view.

This helmet protects the skull. It does not protect the face. ECE 22.06 applies a separate, less demanding regime to open-face helmets precisely because there is no chin bar to test — certification does not create protection that is physically absent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If chin coverage matters to you, say for motorway distance, a full-face is the more protective choice and we would rather tell you that than sell you the wrong helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the off white finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between white and off white sounds like a detail and is not. Pure white on a round shell is a very modern, very clinical thing; pull the value down and warm it slightly, and the same shell suddenly belongs to a different decade. That is what this colour is for, and it is why it sits so easily against brown leather, waxed cotton and a chromed headlight. It carries the practical advantage of any pale helmet: it reflects solar energy that a dark shell converts to heat, which is worth having on a helmet whose largest air intake is the face opening itself. And it is genuinely conspicuous at head height in town, where a jet spends most of its life and where a driver at a junction has a fraction of a second to resolve you. Dirt shows — that is the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFour outer shell sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — XS–S, M, L and XL–XXL — is the specification that does the most for how this helmet looks and feels. A single shell padded down to fit a small head produces a helmet that is visibly too big for it; four shells means the small sizes get a genuinely small helmet, and the large ones are not over-padded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell itself is AIM fibreglass composite over a multi-density EPS liner, closed with a double-D ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The single most important compatibility fact about this helmet: \u003cstrong\u003ethere is no Pinlock lens for the CJ-4\u003c\/strong\u003e. Pinlock's own model list carries neither the J•O2 nor the CJ-4, so no anti-fog insert exists — not a discontinued one, not a hard-to-find one. None.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice an open-face fogs far less than a full-face, because your breath is not trapped behind a chin bar. The visor still has three drop positions, and cracking it one notch clears it immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA peak changes the character of this helmet more than any colour does.

On a jet that has a specific effect: without a highlight running along the crown, the helmet looks smaller than it is, and the leather trim stops being a contrast and becomes part of the same monochrome object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders choose a jet for reasons that are entirely real: the field of view is unobstructed, air reaches your face, glasses go on and off without a fight, and you can hold a conversation at a fuel stop without removing anything. The J•O2 delivers all four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What it does not deliver is chin and jaw protection. There is no chin bar, and the open-face category under ECE 22.06 does not include one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the matt black finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a reason matt suits this helmet's silhouette. The J•O2's shell is a plain, unbroken dome — no spoiler, no vent housings, nothing bolted to the outside — and gloss reads that dome by drawing a bright line across it. Matt does not, so the eye takes in the outline rather than the curvature, and the result looks lower and tighter on the head. The honest counterweight: this is the least conspicuous helmet in the range, on a helmet type used mostly in exactly the environment where being seen matters most. If your riding is urban and year-round, the Off White or Basalt Grey do more for you. Matt also holds dust and dried water spots more visibly than any gloss finish, and there is no polishing them out — matt clear coat is washed, never buffed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoei does not use one polystyrene density throughout. The liner in the J•O2 is assembled from elements with different absorption characteristics, positioned so that the structure spreads an impact across a wider area than a uniform block would. It is the same principle Shoei uses in its racing helmets, applied to a shell with a much larger opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside it is AIM — a multi-material fibreglass composite — and the retention is a double-D ring rather than a ratchet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rounded lower edge of the CJ-4 is a small design decision with a disproportionate effect. A straight-edged visor on a jet sits across your sight line as a horizontal bar; a curved one follows the natural shape of your field of view and effectively disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What the CJ-4 cannot do is take a Pinlock insert — it is not compatible, and no anti-fog lens is made for it. For changing light, the photochromic version of the visor is the answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The peaks are optional accessories, not included. What the helmet comes with is the press studs to fit them — three of them across the brow, positioned so a peak sits level rather than approximately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Classic, GT and Retro MX styles are all available, and all three interchange with the Shoei EX-Zero. There is also a V-480 shield if you want the peak without the visor beneath it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComparing a jet's ventilation with a full-face's is close to meaningless. A full-face has to move air past a closed chin bar and behind a sealed visor; here the entire lower half of your head is already in the airstream. What the integrated system does is manage the top of the shell and reduce humidity around the padding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt does that without a single visible vent, which keeps the silhouette intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner has channels routed for spectacle arms, which on a jet is more useful than it sounds. You put this helmet on and take it off far more often than a full-face, and glasses that catch on the padding every time turn a two-second action into a fiddle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything is removable and washable, and the cheek pads come in multiple thicknesses for fine-tuning the fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1150 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is where an open-face wins most obviously. At roughly 1150 g the J•O2 is around 250 g lighter than Shoei's touring jet and half a kilo lighter than a flip-up — and the difference is felt in your neck by the end of a long day, not in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The trade-offs are noise and communication: it is loud at speed, and there are no speaker recesses in the padding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Shoei's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhere this sits: it is the least expensive helmet Shoei makes and the only one styled entirely backwards.

Brown shell with brown-toned trim is the combination the design was drawn around.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Worth stating plainly, because a helmet with a European approval mark can look like all approvals are equivalent. They are not. ECE 22.06 certifies this helmet \u003cem\u003eas an open-face helmet\u003c\/em\u003e — a different test regime, applied to a shell with no chin bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe openness is the product. If you ride mostly at speed or want maximum coverage, buy a full-face instead; the J•O2 is built for a different kind of riding and does not pretend otherwise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the matt brown finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrown works on almost nothing in motorcycling and works completely here. The reason is material logic rather than fashion: this helmet is trimmed in imitation smooth and nubuck leather, and leather is brown before it is anything else. A brown shell finishes the thought instead of arguing with it, which is why the same colour would look wrong on a sports full-face and looks inevitable on a classic jet. It sits naturally with a waxed cotton jacket, tan boots and anything with a chromed tank badge. Practically it behaves like any mid-tone matt: better at hiding the handling marks a jet accumulates — on and off at every stop, set down on café tables rather than carried once a day — than a gloss finish, and worse at hiding dust. Conspicuity is mid-range: darker than the silver, considerably brighter than the matt black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing about the J•O2's safety is nostalgic, whatever the styling suggests. AIM shell, multi-density EPS, double-D retention and full ECE 22.06 approval in the open-face category — the 2026 standard, not the older 22.05 many classic-styled helmets are still sold against.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The double-D is a deliberate choice rather than a period detail: it cannot slip, cannot wear out of adjustment, and gives an identical fit every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCJ-4 visors are available in clear, dark smoke, Spectra Silver, Spectra Gold, High Definition Yellow and a photochromic version that darkens with UV. On a helmet with no internal sun visor, that range is how you adapt to conditions — and swapping takes seconds without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 None of them accept a Pinlock lens.

The studs stay flush when nothing is attached, so the shell looks untouched without one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree styles are available — Classic, GT and Retro MX — and they also fit the EX-Zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn hot weather this is the coolest helmet Shoei makes, and no ventilation engineering is responsible for that — the face opening is. What the integrated system contributes is the part you do not see: airflow across the crown that stops the head padding becoming saturated on a long warm day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 In cold weather the same opening works against you. A jet in winter needs a neck tube, and no amount of layering makes it a January helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Fit is the specification that matters most and the one no description can settle for you. A helmet that is loose moves under braking and rotates in a crash; one that is too tight produces a headache at forty minutes. Try it on, keep it on for ten minutes, and pay attention to where it presses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf it presses in one spot only, the answer is usually a different cheek pad thickness rather than a different size — the interior is fully modular.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1150 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest list, in one place.

Loud at motorway speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn exchange: around 1150 g, four shell sizes, an AIM composite shell, current ECE 22.06 approval, and a field of view no full-face can offer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Shoei's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA useful comparison for anyone torn between the two jets.

It reads as raw material rather than as a colour choice — bare alloy, brushed steel, the inside of an old fairing — which is an unusually good match for a helmet designed to look like equipment rather than styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J•O2's face opening is the reason to own it and the reason to think carefully about it. It is what gives you peripheral vision no full-face can match, airflow no ventilation system can imitate, and the ability to wear whatever glasses you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is also an absence of material where a chin bar would be. ECE 22.06's open-face category has no requirement covering that region, because there is nothing there to certify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the matt light silver finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilver is doing something different from grey here. A grey helmet is a colour; a light silver in matt is a suggestion of metal, and on a smooth unvented dome that suggestion holds up surprisingly well. It also solves a problem the matt black has: silver is a genuinely bright value, so you keep the flat, low-key surface without giving away the conspicuity that matters most in town. In summer it is the coolest-running shell of the thirteen alongside the Off White, because a pale surface reflects rather than absorbs, and on an open-face that compounds with the airflow you already have. It hides dust better than matt black and worse than a mid-tone. Like every matt finish it is washed rather than polished — there is no clear coat to buff a mark out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe argument for a double-D ring over a micro-ratchet is not romance. A ratchet is quicker and can be worked in gloves, which is why touring helmets use it; a double-D has no mechanism, no plastic teeth and no adjustment that can drift, which is why race regulations require it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a helmet you take on and off several times a day the ratchet's convenience is real — but on this one you get consistency instead, over an AIM composite shell and a multi-density polystyrene core.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree drop positions is more useful than it sounds. Fully down for weather and motorway air; one notch for a summer evening where you want the visor there but the air moving; fully up for town, for a fuel stop, for anywhere you want your face uncovered. The detents hold firmly enough that airflow does not move them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The visor is not Pinlock-ready — no anti-fog insert is manufactured for the CJ-4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe goggle loop at the rear of the shell is imitation leather and quietly one of the best details on the helmet. It holds a classic goggle strap in place so it cannot ride up over the crown, which is the failure mode of wearing goggles over any helmet not designed for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCombined with a peak on the forehead studs, it produces the configuration this helmet was clearly drawn for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of visible vents has a second benefit beyond appearance: there is nothing to break, nothing to jam with grit, and nothing that rattles at speed. Vent sliders are among the most commonly damaged parts on any helmet, and the J•O2 simply does not have them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe airflow is integrated into the shell instead, and the face opening does the heavy lifting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShoei's PFS (Personal Fitting System) is worth knowing about before you buy.

What the J•O2 does instead is do the open-face job properly: a genuine AIM shell rather than a cheap one, full ECE 22.06 approval in its category, and the retention system Shoei uses on its racing helmets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Nothing about the safety is nostalgic — but nothing about it covers the chin either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Laguna Blue finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is nothing to hang a graphic on here: no spoiler, no vent covers, no chin bar. So a two-tone treatment on a jet has to work purely as areas of colour on a curve, and this one does it by keeping both shades in the same family. The effect from a distance is a single blue that changes as the helmet turns; up close it resolves into two. Blue also happens to be the most forgiving colour on a gloss finish — it holds less contrast against road film than black and shows less dirt than any pale shade, which puts it in the middle of the maintenance range rather than at either end. Conspicuity is better than the dark solids, without the visual weight of a full graphic. If you want colour on this helmet but not a decal, this is the one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAIM stands for Advanced Integrated Matrix, and the important word is „integrated\": several different fibre materials are combined in the layup rather than laminating one type of glass repeatedly.

Deep, dark, slightly blue-shifted green is the single most period-correct colour you can put on a classic jet helmet, and it is the reason this version sells to people who already know exactly which motorcycle it is going on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe useful way to think about helmet choice is by where you actually ride, not by which helmet is theoretically safest. In town, on classic machinery, on unhurried country roads, an open-face gives you awareness, comfort in traffic and a helmet you will actually put on for a five-minute journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 At sustained high speed, or if maximum coverage is the priority, it is the wrong tool — there is no chin bar, and ECE 22.06's open-face category does not ask for one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the British Green finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRacing green earns its place through association rather than through anything measurable, and there is no point pretending otherwise. What it does on this helmet is anchor it to a specific era — it sits with chrome, with brown leather, with a spoked wheel, and it is the only colour here that would look deliberate on a British twin and slightly odd on a modern naked. Optically it behaves like a dark solid: gloss, so it needs the same care as black, and roughly the same low conspicuity in poor light, though the green reads as marginally less absent than black at dusk. It is also the finish that most rewards the optional Classic peak, because the combination of dark green shell and a black peak edge is very close to what the helmets it references actually looked like.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour shell sizes on an open-face matters for a reason particular to the type: there is no chin bar to disguise the proportions. A jet is read as a shape on your head, and a shell one or two sizes too large for the head inside it is immediately obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXS–S, M, L and XL–XXL each get their own AIM composite shell, each over a multi-density EPS liner, each closed with a double-D ring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe imitation leather loop at the back of the shell is not decoration. It is a strap retainer for classic motorcycle goggles — which is the other way to protect your eyes on this helmet, with the visor raised or removed entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If you go that route, remember the visor itself is not Pinlock-compatible, so goggles are also the only way to get a proper anti-fog treated lens in front of your eyes on the J•O2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a small ecosystem behind this helmet rather than a single configuration. Six visor tints including photochromic, three peak styles, a V-480 shield, a goggle strap loop, and interior padding in several thicknesses — and every one of them fits without tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peaks attach to three press studs at the brow and interchange with the Shoei EX-Zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Do not expect adjustable ventilation. There are no sliders to open or close, so there is no way to shut the airflow down in cold weather — the system is always on, as is the face opening. That is the correct design for a helmet used mostly in mild and warm conditions, and a real limitation in December.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn its intended season it is the most comfortable thing you can put on your head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the interior more often than you think.

It is the single fact that should decide whether an open-face is right for the riding you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Garnet Metallic finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMetallic flake needs curvature to work, and a jet shell is nothing but curvature — one continuous dome with no vent housings or spoiler breaking it up. That makes this the finish that shows the helmet's shape best, because the flake catches differently across every part of the curve as it turns. Garnet is also a deep enough red that it avoids the problem bright reds have on a classic helmet, where the colour reads as sporting rather than as period. Against the imitation leather trim it is a genuinely handsome combination. Practically it is a gloss finish with metallic underneath: the same washing discipline as black, slightly better at disguising fine swirls because the flake breaks up reflections, and mid-range conspicuity — better than the dark solids, well short of the pale ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure is conventional in the best sense: a fibreglass composite outer shell to distribute the load and resist penetration, and a polystyrene inner liner to absorb the energy by crushing. Shoei's contribution is in the detail — AIM combines several fibre types in one layup, and the EPS is assembled from elements that absorb at different rates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A crushed liner does not recover. A helmet that has taken a real impact is finished, whatever it looks like from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisor changes are tool-free and quick, which matters more on this helmet than on most because there is no internal sun visor to fall back on. Adapting to light means changing the visor or wearing sunglasses under a raised one — both are easy with an open-face, neither is with a full-face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The CJ-4 accepts no Pinlock insert in any tint; the photochromic version is the closest thing to a set-and-forget solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe press studs are the reason this helmet reads as older than it is. Snap fasteners across the brow are a detail from an era before integrated visors, and Shoei kept them not for decoration but because they still work — a peak on three studs is more secure and easier to remove than any modern mount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic, GT and Retro MX peaks are all available and all fit the EX-Zero too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRiders coming from a full-face usually notice two things in the first ten minutes: how much cooler it is, and how much more they can hear. Both come from the same source. The J•O2's integrated ventilation is a secondary contributor — useful for managing the crown and the padding, invisible from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The noise is worth planning for: an open-face at speed is loud, and earplugs are not optional on a long ride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour outer shell sizes do most of the fit work before the padding is involved. Because the shell itself changes size across XS–S, M, L and XL–XXL, the interior does not have to compensate with thick foam on small heads — which is what makes a helmet feel bulky rather than snug.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom there, cheek and centre pads in several thicknesses fine-tune it, and everything is removable and washable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1150 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerceived weight and actual weight are different things, and an open-face flatters both.

What you gain is real: unobstructed sight lines into your periphery, air on your face in traffic, and a helmet light enough at around 1150 g that a full day in it is unremarkable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What you give up is chin and jaw protection entirely. The ECE 22.06 open-face category covers the rest of the head; it does not cover that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Basalt Grey finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrey is the most underrated colour on a helmet because it does the two things riders actually want at once. It is quiet — nothing about it competes with the motorcycle, and it does not date — and it is meaningfully more visible than black in exactly the conditions that matter, which is dull light against a cluttered urban background. A driver's eye resolves a mid-value object against dark tarmac faster than it resolves a dark one. It is also the most practical finish here for daily use: grey sits at the point on the value scale where road film, dust and water spots all show least. If you ride this helmet every day, all year, and do not want to think about it, this is the one that asks the least of you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight on a helmet is structural, not cosmetic, and around 1150 g is light for a fibreglass composite shell in four sizes. It comes from the AIM layup rather than from thinning anything: several fibre materials in one matrix let the stiffness be put where it is needed and left out where it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner beneath is multi-density EPS; the strap is a double-D ring, adjusted by pulling rather than by clicking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsider the photochromic CJ-4 if you ride at both ends of the day. It darkens under UV and clears again indoors or at dusk, which on a helmet with no drop-down sun visor removes the need to carry a second visor at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It behaves less well behind a car windscreen, where UV is filtered, and like every CJ-4 it cannot take a Pinlock lens — the visor is not Pinlock-compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A practical warning about peaks and visors used together. With the CJ-4 visor down and a peak fitted, your upward field of view is reduced — noticeable at traffic lights with high-mounted signals. Most riders who run a peak run it with the visor up or removed, and goggles instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rear goggle loop exists for exactly that combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe design brief here was clearly „nothing on the outside\".

On a helmet with no vents, no spoiler and no chin bar to break up the shell, a graphic has an unusually large canvas to work across.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often assume a jet is a summer helmet and a full-face is a serious one. Neither is quite right. The J•O2 is a serious helmet — AIM shell, multi-density impact liner, double-D retention, current European approval — built for a category that happens to leave the face open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 That opening is not a ventilation feature. It is the absence of a chin bar, and it is the reason a full-face protects more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Aventure TC-2 graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGraphics behave differently on a jet than on a full-face, and this one is a good illustration. On a full-face a decor is interrupted — it stops at the chin bar, jumps the vent covers, disappears behind the spoiler. Here it runs uninterrupted from the opening to the crown, so the design is read as a whole rather than as fragments. That is why Shoei's jet graphics tend to be simpler and larger in scale than their sports ones. TC-2 is also the most conspicuous version of this helmet: light blue and orange are both high-value against tarmac, and orange in particular is one of the shades the human eye picks up fastest in poor light. 🔵 The trade is the usual one for graphics — a decor dates faster than a solid, and a deep scratch cannot be touched in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have not used a double-D ring before it is worth practising once in the garage rather than for the first time in a car park. Thread, pull, fold the loose end into the popper. It takes ten seconds and gives the same tension every time — which is the whole point, because a strap that is slightly loose is a strap that can come off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest is AIM composite shell, multi-density EPS liner and four outer shell sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFogging on an open-face is a different problem from fogging on a full-face. Your breath escapes downwards into open air rather than circulating behind a chin bar, so the visor stays clear in conditions that would mist a full-face — which is fortunate, because there is no anti-fog insert available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The CJ-4 is not Pinlock-compatible.

The base plates come off by hand, the shell is left as a plain dome, and eye protection becomes a pair of goggles held by the imitation leather loop at the back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdd a peak on the three forehead studs — Classic, GT or Retro MX — and the helmet is a completely different object from the one in the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA practical note on warm-weather riding in a jet: the reason it feels dramatically cooler than a full-face is evaporative, not just convective.

That matters more than it sounds: if you ever need a matching peak, a replacement visor in the same tint or a spare part ordered against your helmet, the TC number is what the parts catalogue works from, not the word „Aventure\". It is on the label under the padding as well as on the box. As a finish, this is the quietest way to have a graphic on the J•O2 — the design is fully present but reads at conversational volume, and it keeps the low-key relationship with a classic motorcycle that a bright decor gives up. Conspicuity is correspondingly low; in year-round urban use a pale solid does more for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull ECE 22.06 approval means the whole current schedule, not a subset: impact at several energies and points, oblique impact, abrasion, retention system strength, visor optics.

The jaw is unprotected, and the open-face category under ECE 22.06 makes no provision for that region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Aventure TC-10 graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is worth being honest about what a graphic costs and what it buys, because on a helmet at this price the two versions sit €70 apart. What it buys is a shell that looks considered rather than plain, and on a jet that reads across a much larger visible area than it would on a full-face. What it costs, beyond the money: decors date faster than solids, they are harder to match if you later want a peak or a second helmet in the family, and a stone chip through a printed layer cannot be touched in the way a solid can. None of that is an argument against — it is the information you would want before choosing. If you want a graphic that will still look current in five years, a dark execution like this one ages considerably more slowly than a bright one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J•O2 is built the way Shoei builds full-face helmets, minus the chin bar: same AIM composite construction, same multi-density polystyrene principle, same double-D retention, same four-shell approach to sizing that keeps the outer volume honest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is largely why it costs what it does. A jet helmet can be made much more cheaply — one shell, one EPS density, thermoplastic outer — and it will still carry an approval mark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things to know before choosing tints. First, a dark visor on a jet is a summer item only — there is no clear internal shield to drop behind it, so when the light goes you are changing visors at the roadside. Second, the mirrored Spectra finishes are the most durable-looking and the most obvious to keep clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 And the constant: no CJ-4 is Pinlock-compatible, so none of them takes an anti-fog lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the press studs really buy you is longevity. A helmet you can reconfigure — peak on, peak off, visor on, goggles instead — stays interesting for longer than one with a fixed appearance, and none of the changes require a tool or a trip to a dealer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree peak styles are made for it, all fitting the same three studs, all also compatible with the EX-Zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have ever wondered why classic helmets look so clean, this is it: the vent slider is a modern part, and adding one to a 1970s silhouette ruins it immediately. Shoei's answer was to route the airflow inside the structure and leave the outside alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior stays comfortable and the humidity stays down; the face opening supplies more air than any vent could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort on an open-face is decided by the edge, not the interior. The rim runs across your cheekbones and around your jaw, in full view and in constant contact, and a hard or badly finished one is unbearable within twenty minutes. Shoei trims the J•O2's in imitation smooth and nubuck leather for exactly that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe padding behind it is fully removable and washable, with several thicknesses available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1150 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight helmets are usually light because something has been left out, and it is worth knowing what. Here it is equipment rather than structure: no sun visor mechanism, no vent sliders, no communication provision, no spoiler.

It is the most contemporary-looking version of a deliberately old-looking helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you have only ever worn full-face helmets, the first ride in a jet is a genuine surprise — the periphery opens up, the noise changes character, and the helmet stops feeling like something you are inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The second thing to understand is the cost of that: no chin bar, no jaw protection, and a certification category that does not include either. Both facts are true at once, and the J•O2 is worth buying only if the second one is acceptable to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Cross Logo2 TC-6 graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a tension in this one that the solids do not have, and it is the reason it works. The J•O2's whole architecture — the round dome, the leather trim, the press studs for a peak, the goggle loop — points backwards to the era of open-face helmets and motocross goggles. Cross Logo2 puts a modern graphic language on top of that, and the collision is the design. It reads particularly well with the Retro MX peak fitted, where the reference becomes explicit rather than implied. Purple is also an unusual choice that has aged better on helmets than it has on almost anything else. Practically: white areas show dirt sooner than the shell around them, and as with any decor the surface cannot be touched in if it is chipped — but the overall conspicuity is high, which is worth something in town.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAIM, four shells and a double-D ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things do the protective work and they do different jobs. The AIM shell spreads the load and stops penetration; the polystyrene liner underneath absorbs the energy by permanently deforming. Shoei assembles that liner from elements of differing density so the deformation happens where it is most useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround it: four outer shell sizes, so the fit is achieved by shell as well as by padding, and a double-D ring at the chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe CJ-4 visor — and the Pinlock that does not exist for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J•O2 gives you two entirely separate ways to protect your eyes, which is unusual. The integrated CJ-4 visor, in six tints and three drop positions; or classic goggles, secured by the imitation leather strap loop at the rear of the shell with the visor raised.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Only one caveat applies to both: the CJ-4 is not Pinlock-compatible, so if you want a treated anti-fog lens in front of your eyes, it has to be the goggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePress studs, peaks and goggles\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Peaks and goggles are accessories bought separately — the helmet ships with neither. What it ships with is the hardware to accept them: three press studs at the brow, and an imitation leather strap loop at the rear of the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe peak styles available are the Classic, the GT and the Retro MX, plus the V-480 shield; all of them also fit the Shoei EX-Zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation without a single vent\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirflow is one of the few areas where an open-face needs no argument made for it. Your face is in the wind. What Shoei had to solve was everything above that — keeping air moving over the crown and through the padding without putting hardware on a shell whose appeal depends on having none.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe integrated system does that, and the helmet stays comfortable in warm weather rather than merely tolerable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, trim and getting the fit right\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo useful facts about living with this interior. It comes out entirely — head pad, both cheek pads, chin strap covers — and it goes back in without a struggle, which is not true of every helmet. And the cheek and centre pads exist in several thicknesses, so the fit is a specification you can change rather than one you inherit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Shoei dealer can go further with a PFS fitting, shimming the interior to your head shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAround 1150 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best argument for a light helmet is not comfort on a long ride, it is the short one.

On a helmet whose whole appeal is the silhouette, that matters more than it would on a sports lid. The practical case runs alongside it. White is the easiest shell here for a driver to resolve in the flat light a European city supplies for most of the year, and it stays cooler in summer sun than any dark finish — useful on a helmet MT quotes at 1475 g and pairs with a full-coverage sun visor. 🔵 The cost is dirt: road film and insect strike show on white sooner than on anything else in this range, and gloss shows swirls if you dry-wipe it. Wash it wet and dry it with a clean cloth. It is also the version that most clearly reads as a period helmet rather than a modern one, which for a café-racer shape is arguably the whole point of choosing it. And on a helmet with a size range this narrow, it is worth adding that white shows a poor fit as readily as it shows dirt — a shell sitting too high or too far back is obvious on a pale finish and hidden on a dark one.

Strip the shine off the shell and the classic silhouette becomes a shape you have selected rather than an era you are re-enacting — particularly on a modern naked bike, where a glossy retro helmet can look borrowed. The practical case is separate and just as strong: a helmet handled twice a day picks up scuffs, and a flat finish has no clear coat for them to catch in. 🔵 Two things to weigh. It is the least conspicuous version here, on a helmet aimed at city and country-road riding. And matt is washed rather than polished — abrasive polish leaves a permanent shiny patch that cannot be undone. Dust also shows more readily on a flat finish than on a shiny one, though it washes off completely. Worth adding that on this particular shell the matt finish does something gloss cannot: it shows the aperture line and the crown curve as pure outline, with no highlight running across them — which on a helmet bought for its silhouette is the more honest reading of the shape. It is the version we would choose for a modern naked bike, where a glossy retro helmet can look like it belongs to a different machine. On a genuine period bike the gloss white or the Wild C2 with its gold accent are the more coherent choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHIRP, 1475 grams, ECE 22.06 and DOT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 At around 1475 g this is 50 g under MT's Thunder 4 R SV and 125 g under the Stinger 2 — a genuine difference on a helmet worn daily, and largely a consequence of the simpler shell shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFewer external features means less material: no spoiler, no large vent housings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes — read this before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Check the size range before anything else.

Road film, dust and dried rain marks all show least here — they read as haze on black and as obvious marks on white. And a driver's eye resolves a mid-value object against dark tarmac appreciably faster than a dark one, which on a helmet used mostly in traffic is the argument that matters. There is a period argument too: unpainted and primer-grey helmets are part of the visual language the Jarama borrows from, so the colour belongs to the shape rather than sitting on it. 🔵 Like every matt finish it is washed rather than polished, and it holds dry dust more visibly than gloss. Of the five finishes here it is the one that will look the same in five years, because grey belongs to no particular season. It is also the one we would recommend to a rider buying the Jarama SV as an everyday helmet rather than as a weekend one — nothing about it needs managing, and it hides the wear a daily helmet accumulates better than either the white or the black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHIRP, 1475 grams, ECE 22.06 and DOT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22.06\u003c\/strong\u003e approval means the current schedule rather than the superseded 22.05: more impact points, higher test speeds, and a rotational-impact assessment the older standard did not include. \u003cstrong\u003eDOT\u003c\/strong\u003e approval sits alongside it and is tested differently again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 On a retro-styled helmet that combination is worth checking, because plenty of period-look helmets hold only the older revision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes — read this before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA narrower size range is a consequence of the shell design rather than an oversight: a compact retro silhouette has less scope to be scaled up than a modern shell with room to work in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The practical result is the same either way — \u003cstrong\u003eXS to XL\u003c\/strong\u003e, five sizes, and no larger option in this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe full-coverage sun visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunset on a westbound road is the condition that decides whether a sun visor was worth having, and it is precisely the condition a fixed tinted visor handles worst — half an hour later it is dark and you cannot see through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A drop-down shield retracts in a second and costs you nothing when it is up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-V-32, the rubber lip and the anti-fog insert you buy separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFogging is decided at low speed — junctions, traffic, waiting — where there is no airflow to clear a visor.

Red is also a high-saturation colour that holds up well against grey tarmac, which puts it among the more conspicuous options here without going fluorescent — and on a helmet used in traffic, that is a functional argument rather than a styling one. Under matt the red reads as pigment rather than as paint, which keeps it in the same register as the rest of the helmet instead of turning the Jarama into a sports lid. 🔵 Red pigment fades faster than most under sustained ultraviolet, and matt clear coat is washed rather than polished — there is nothing to buff a mark out of. Keep the helmet out of direct sun when parked and the red will hold its depth for years rather than seasons.

The SV designation across MT's range means an integrated drop-down shield, which on a retro helmet is the feature that makes it usable every day rather than only on the right afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe silhouette is unchanged; the equipment is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Wild C2 graphic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold works against grey for the same reason it works against black: it is the one accent colour with a value far enough above a mid-dark ground to create real contrast without introducing a competing hue. That is why it has been used on helmets, tanks and instrument faces for a century, and why it looks deliberate here rather than decorative. On a shell whose appeal is its silhouette, an accent that traces the shape rather than filling it is the right approach. Practically, the grey ground does the dirt-hiding work while the gold carries the design, so the helmet weathers better than a fully bright finish would. Gold also has the rare property of looking correct on both a black and a grey ground, which is why it survived as a helmet accent long after most period colours did not. 🔵 The gold elements are the parts that will show scuffing first, and a printed or applied finish cannot be touched in the way a solid colour can. Matt is washed rather than polished. Worth noting that the gold is the reason to choose this version and the reason to look after it: it is the element that dates the helmet if it scuffs, and the element that makes it look considerably more expensive than 144 € while it does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHIRP, 1475 grams, ECE 22.06 and DOT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat a thermoplastic shell means in practice: it is injection-moulded rather than laid up by hand, which makes it cheaper to produce and heavier than a composite of equal strength. It also makes it very consistent, because the process is machine-controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The Jarama SV's is HIRP at roughly 1475 g, with dual ECE 22.06 \/ DOT approval.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes — read this before ordering\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If you are between two sizes, take the one that does not move when you push the helmet forward with the strap fastened. A helmet you can rotate on your head by hand is too large, whatever the tape says.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith only five sizes there is less room to fine-tune than on MT's wider ranges, so try it on rather than ordering by measurement alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe full-coverage sun visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 With the shield down and the main visor closed you are looking through two surfaces, and any scratch or fog on either becomes visible. Keep both clean, and never wipe either dry — road dust scratches the shield as readily as the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean both wet, with plenty of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMT-V-32, the rubber lip and the anti-fog insert you buy separately\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA rubber-lipped seal is a small engineering decision with a disproportionate effect. Most visors at this price close against the shell edge directly; a compressible lip gives the closure something to seat into, which keeps water out and holds down the whistle that leaks around a visor edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 MT cites low noise levels for this helmet.

On a naked café-style bike, which is what this helmet suits, the airflow is usually clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEarplugs remain worthwhile on any sustained fast ride, whatever the shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe MT-MDHC closure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Practise fastening it once with the gloves you actually ride in.

The Jarama SV has a UCS pre-installation and a full-coverage sun visor, neither of which is period-correct and both of which are useful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system itself is a separate purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in MT's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 MT's range is unusually consistent: almost everything is built on the \u003cstrong\u003eHIRP\u003c\/strong\u003e platform, with the carbon KRE+ S as the single exception.

Strip the shine off the shell and the classic silhouette becomes a shape you have chosen rather than a period you are re-enacting — which matters on a helmet as clearly styled as this one. The practical case runs alongside: an open-face helmet is handled far more than a full-face, on and off at every stop, carried by the edge, set down on café tables and scooter seats, and a matt surface has no clear coat for those scuffs to catch in. 🔵 Two things to weigh. It is the least conspicuous of the three finishes here, on a helmet used almost entirely in city traffic where being seen matters most. And matt is washed rather than polished — abrasive polish leaves a permanent shiny patch, and dry dust shows more readily than it would on gloss. Wash it with plenty of water and a clean cloth, and it will still look tidy in five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The Le Mans 2 SV S is an \u003cstrong\u003eopen-face jet\u003c\/strong\u003e.

On a plain unbroken dome with no vent hardware to interrupt it, that texture is also the only styling available — there is nothing else on this shell for a design to sit on. The practical case is separate and strong. Grey sits at the value where city road film, dust and dried rain all show least, which makes this the lowest-maintenance finish of the three; and it is meaningfully more visible than black in the flat overcast light a European city supplies for most of the year. 🔵 Like every matt finish it is washed rather than polished.

Dystopic avoids that by working in tone rather than colour: the design is fully there when you look at the helmet in your hands, and the shell reads as plain matt black at any distance beyond a few metres. On a helmet worn with ordinary clothes rather than riding gear, that restraint is usually the right register. Practically it inherits every property of the matt black Pure version: it absorbs the handling an urban jet gets, it hides road film well, and it is the least conspicuous option in the range. 🔵 A printed graphic also cannot be touched in after a scuff the way a solid colour can — and it costs 8 € over the plain version for artwork rather than capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 One sentence that should not be buried: the chin and jaw region takes a substantial share of impacts in real motorcycle crashes, and this helmet has nothing over it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is not a criticism of the Le Mans 2 SV S, which is a well-made example of what it is.

It has no chin bar, and ECE 22-06's jet category makes no provision for chin or jaw protection — a substantial share of impacts land in exactly that region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the right tool for relaxed urban riding at city speeds. For higher speeds or long distances, a full-face gives more protection and more weather cover, and we would rather say so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the white finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrban riding is the condition in which a motorcyclist is least expected and most often looked through — a driver pulling out of a side road has a fraction of a second, in cluttered light, against a busy background. A white helmet sits above the headlight, exactly where the eye scans. There is a thermal benefit alongside it that matters more on an open-face than on a full-face, because you are already choosing this helmet for airflow: a pale shell reflects solar load rather than converting it into interior heat. 🔵 The cost is dirt. City road film shows on white sooner than on anything else here, and the helmet will need washing more often than a dark one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is \u003cstrong\u003ePolyfusion\u003c\/strong\u003e thermoplastic — compact, impact-resistant and injection-moulded — in \u003cstrong\u003etwo outer shell sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e (XXS–L \/ XL–XXL), so the helmet stays in proportion rather than one shell being scaled across the whole range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Approvals: \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22-06\u003c\/strong\u003e (UN), \u003cstrong\u003eDOT FMVSS 218\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNBR7471:2015\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Nothing about it competes with the motorcycle, and nothing about it dates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The honest paragraph, up front. This helmet protects the skull; it does not protect the face. That is not a shortcoming of the Y.10 in particular — it is what the open-face category is, and no certification changes what is physically absent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you get in exchange is a helmet you will actually put on for a ten-minute journey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the matt black finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jet helmet is handled far more than a full-face — on and off at every stop, carried by the edge, set down on café tables and pillion seats several times a day rather than once. That handling is exactly what a flat finish absorbs best: there is no gloss layer for a scuff to catch in, so the marks a city helmet accumulates simply do not read. 🔵 The counterweight is honest and worth stating: this is the least conspicuous helmet in the range, on a helmet type used almost entirely in the environment where being seen matters most. Matt also holds dust and dried water spots more visibly than gloss, and it is washed rather than polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Three approvals rather than four. The Y.10 holds \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22-06\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eDOT FMVSS 218\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eNBR7471:2015\u003c\/strong\u003e — but not the Chinese CCC certification that Nexx's X-range carries. Irrelevant in Europe; worth knowing if you are shipping the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is Polyfusion thermoplastic in two outer sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Read the box contents carefully before buying: \u003cstrong\u003ehelmet and peak\u003c\/strong\u003e. There is no clear visor. The only screen on this helmet is the lightly tinted drop-down sun shield, and it is a daylight item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a city helmet used in daylight that is entirely workable. For wet or dark riding, plan on glasses or goggles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A caveat worth stating: the two-stage top vent Nexx describes is fitted to \u003cstrong\u003esome\u003c\/strong\u003e Y.10 versions rather than all of them. We are not going to claim it for every finish in the range, because the manufacturer does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is common to all of them is the face opening, which on any jet moves more air than any vent design could.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, glasses and the buckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If you wear glasses, this is one of the easiest helmets in the range to live with. There is no chin bar to thread the arms past, and the liner is cut slim specifically so the arms are not pressed against your temples.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything comes out for washing, and the buckle is a micrometric ratchet rather than a two-position clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntercom — and the 45 mm limit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The \u003cstrong\u003e45 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e speaker limit is the specification to check before buying an intercom for this helmet. Most universal audio sets fall within it, but larger high-output speakers do not — and a speaker that does not sit in the recess presses on your ear instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe provision is universal rather than tied to Nexx's own X-COM range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1325 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The best argument for a light helmet is not comfort on a long ride, it is the short one. At 1325 g with no chin bar, the Y.10 is the helmet you reach for rather than deciding to take the car.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you accept: wind noise above city speeds, no chin protection, and a tinted-only screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Two outer shell sizes means the boundary matters: XXS to L share one shell, XL and XXL the other. Sizes at the top of each shell carry thinner padding than sizes at the bottom of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice that means an L and an XL can feel more different than the one-size gap suggests. Try both if you are near the boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The \u003cstrong\u003epeak\u003c\/strong\u003e is the part most likely to be damaged, because it is the part that projects. It fits and removes without tools, and a replacement is far cheaper than a helmet — worth knowing before you write one off after a drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner, padding and sun visor are all separately available too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Nexx's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin the range this is the urban helmet and nothing else competes with it directly.

There is no chin bar, and the ECE 22-06 jet category does not require one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the pastel blue finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePastels behave differently from saturated colours on a helmet. They keep a high overall value, so most of the conspicuity benefit of a pale shell survives — a driver's eye resolves a light object against dark tarmac quickly, whatever the hue. But they carry none of the visual weight that makes a bright helmet dominate everything else you are wearing, which suits a helmet worn with ordinary clothes rather than with a riding suit. It also stays cooler in sun than any dark finish. 🔵 Pale finishes show city road film sooner than dark ones; expect to wash it more often than the black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo outer shell sizes on a helmet at this price is more generous than it sounds. A single shell scaled across XXS to XXL leaves the smallest sizes inside a helmet that is visibly too big for them; two shells keeps the proportion honest at both ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material is \u003cstrong\u003ePolyfusion\u003c\/strong\u003e thermoplastic, compact and impact-resistant, certified to ECE 22-06.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sun visor is described as ultra-wide, and on a jet that matters more than on a full-face — there is no aperture edge to hide behind, so a shield that stops short of your peripheral vision is immediately obvious.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is operated by a fine tab on the lens edge rather than a shell slider, which keeps the outside of the helmet clean.

A loose helmet moves under braking; a tight one produces a headache at forty minutes, and on a jet you will notice it sooner because there is no chin bar to distribute the pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Try it on and keep it on for ten minutes before deciding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is the part that wears first on any jet, because it takes sweat and skin contact daily and is exposed to more dust than a full-face's.

They are not. ECE 22-06 certifies this helmet \u003cem\u003eas a jet helmet\u003c\/em\u003e — a different test schedule applied to a shell with no chin bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything the standard does cover, it meets.

The value here is high enough to keep the conspicuity advantage a pale shell gives you in traffic, and the saturation low enough that the helmet sits with ordinary clothing rather than demanding a matching outfit. On an urban jet worn with a jacket rather than a suit, that is the correct register. It also runs cooler in summer sun than any dark finish. 🔵 Like every pale colour it shows city road film sooner, and it is the version most likely to still be available in your size — which cuts both ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What thermoplastic means in practice: the shell is injection-moulded rather than laid up by hand, which makes it cheaper to produce and heavier than a composite of equal strength. It also makes it very consistent, because the process is machine-controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 1325 g the weight penalty barely registers on a helmet with no chin bar. Two outer shell sizes, ECE 22-06, DOT and NBR approvals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tab on the edge of the lens rather than a slider on the shell is an unusual choice and a deliberate one: it keeps the shell surface uninterrupted, which on a helmet whose appeal is its clean shape is the point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It also means you reach across your field of view to deploy it. Practise once before doing it in traffic. And note that the shield is tinted — no clear visor is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn warm weather this is the coolest helmet Nexx makes, and no ventilation engineering is responsible for that — the face opening is. What the system contributes is airflow across the crown, which stops the head padding saturating on a hot day in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 In cold weather the same opening works against you. A jet in January needs a neck tube and still lets in the cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, glasses and the buckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWash the interior more often than you think. A jet's padding sits closer to open air than a full-face's and picks up road dust as well as sweat — and a liner washed twice a season lasts appreciably longer than one that never is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 All of it comes out by hand, and it is breathable enough to dry overnight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntercom — and the 45 mm limit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open-face is the easiest helmet type to fit an intercom to, simply because there is more room and no chin bar to route a microphone around — a boom mic on a jet sits where you can see it and adjust it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The Y.10 takes universal audio sets up to 45 mm; nothing is supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1325 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The full honest list in one place.

In town, at city speeds, on short journeys made several times a day, an open-face is the helmet that gets worn rather than left on a shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 At sustained speed or over distance it is the wrong tool — no chin bar, and no weather protection either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Nardo Grey finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValue rather than colour decides both how dirty a helmet looks and how easily it is seen, and a mid grey sits at the useful point on that scale for both at once. Road film, dust and dried water marks all show least here — they read as haze on black and as obvious marks on white. And a driver's eye resolves a mid-value object against dark tarmac appreciably faster than a dark one. Neither property is dramatic alone; together they make this the most practical version in the range. 🔵 Matt is washed rather than polished; there is no clear coat to buff a scuff out of.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e1325 g ±50\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a genuinely light helmet, and the reason is simply that there is no chin bar, no outer visor mechanism and no composite layup to pay for. Weight is where an open-face wins without trying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is Polyfusion thermoplastic in two outer sizes, certified to ECE 22-06, DOT FMVSS 218 and NBR7471:2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The single most important thing to understand about this helmet's optics: the drop-down shield is \u003cstrong\u003elightly tinted\u003c\/strong\u003e and it is the only screen supplied. Nexx does not include a clear visor, and the box contains helmet plus peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn daylight it does the job well.

It is the single fact that should decide whether an open-face suits the riding you do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the denim blue finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep blue is consistently under-chosen on helmets and it is the most practical coloured finish available. Fine road film reads as a grey haze against black and as an obvious film against pale colours; against denim blue it largely disappears, which on a helmet washed occasionally rather than religiously matters over the whole ownership period. It also works with almost any jacket, which on a helmet worn with ordinary clothing rather than a riding suit is a real consideration. 🔵 Conspicuity sits above the blacks and below the pale versions — worth a thought on a helmet used mainly in city traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFull \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22-06\u003c\/strong\u003e approval means the current schedule rather than the superseded 22.05 — impact at several energies and points, oblique impact, abrasion and retention strength, applied to the jet-helmet category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Worth checking on any inexpensive open-face you compare this with; a good number are still sold against the older standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tint is light rather than dark, which is the right choice for a shield with no clear alternative behind it — it takes the edge off glare without becoming unusable as the light drops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is still a tint. For riding after dark, plan on clear glasses. The shield deploys from a tab on the lens edge and retracts fully out of view.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat ventilation actually manages is humidity rather than temperature — sweat that cannot evaporate stays in the padding and stays on you.

A camel-toned trim against a matt black shell is a two-material contrast rather than a two-colour one, and it is what separates the Sunny line from the plain versions at eight euros more. It also pairs naturally with brown leather and with the tan-and-black palette most urban riding gear uses. 🔵 Light-coloured trim shows wear and skin contact sooner than black trim does — it is the part of this helmet that will age visibly first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Polyfusion shell is described by Nexx as compact, and on a jet that matters visually as much as structurally — an open-face is read as a shape on your head, with no chin bar to disguise the proportions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo outer shell sizes, 1325 g ±50, and ECE 22-06, DOT and NBR approvals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeripheral vision is the whole reason to wear an open-face, and a sun visor that narrows it defeats the purpose. Nexx made this one deliberately wide for exactly that reason.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is lightly tinted and there is no clear visor in the box — the helmet ships with a peak instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCity riding is the hardest ventilation case there is: repeated stops, no airflow, and heat radiating off the road and the traffic around you.

Below 60 km\/h an open-face is comfortable, practical and quiet enough. On a dual carriageway it is loud, cold and unprotected at the chin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNexx's Y.100R is the full-face on a related platform if that is your riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Sunny Indigo Blue Camel finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reason this works is contrast in temperature rather than in value: a cool deep blue against a warm mid tan reads as two materials rather than two colours, which is exactly the effect a trimmed jet helmet is aiming for. It also happens to be the most practical Sunny version — a mid-dark blue shell hides city road film far better than white or a pale grey, so the helmet stays presentable between washes while the trim carries the visual interest. 🔵 The camel trim will still show wear before the shell does; it is in constant contact with your face and hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1325 g is light enough that you notice it across a long day rather than in the first five minutes — and on an open-face the mass sits lower and further forward than on a full-face, so it feels lighter still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is \u003cstrong\u003ePolyfusion\u003c\/strong\u003e thermoplastic in two outer sizes, certified to ECE 22-06.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the shield as clean as you would an outer visor.

That combination suits a helmet worn daily with ordinary clothing rather than with a riding suit, which is what most Y.10 owners are actually doing. 🔵 The trim is the part that shows wear first on any Sunny version. If the helmet is a daily commuter, expect the camel to darken with skin contact within a season or two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 No independent safety rating exists for this helmet.

It is also, by some distance, the most visible of the Sunny versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an open-face helmet does and does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople assume a jet is a summer helmet and a full-face is a serious one. Neither is quite right. The Y.10 is a properly built helmet — Polyfusion shell, two shell sizes, three market approvals — for a category that happens to leave the face open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 That opening is the absence of a chin bar, not a ventilation feature, and it is why a full-face protects more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Sunny White Camel finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWarm trim against a white shell is a period combination — it is what open-face helmets looked like before black plastic edging became standard — and on a helmet with this much visible opening it does most of the design work. The practical case runs alongside it: white is the easiest shell here for a driver to resolve in flat urban light, and it stays cooler in summer sun than any dark finish. 🔵 Both the shell and the trim show dirt sooner than a darker combination. The camel trim in particular is the part that will show wear first, because it is in constant contact with your face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A thermoplastic shell is not a lesser shell, it is a different manufacturing route — and on a helmet at this price it is the only route that makes sense. What matters is the approval it holds, and this one holds the current European standard in full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eECE 22-06, DOT FMVSS 218, NBR7471:2015. Two outer shell sizes covering XXS to XXL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A note on tinted screens and the law. Tinted visors are not road-legal at night or in poor visibility in most European countries, and rules differ between them. On this helmet the shield retracts fully, which is the compliant answer — but with nothing clear behind it, retracting means an unprotected face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlasses or goggles are the practical solution for dark and wet riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pale shell does more for interior temperature on this helmet than any vent setting, because the face opening already handles the airflow. If you ride in genuine heat, the white, pastel or grey versions run measurably cooler than the blacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A two-stage top vent appears on some Y.10 versions rather than all of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, glasses and the buckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner is breathable rather than plush, which is the correct choice for a helmet worn in city heat and taken off at every stop. It dries faster than a dense foam-and-fabric interior and it does not hold sweat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is fully removable and washable, and cut slim to work with spectacle arms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIntercom — and the 45 mm limit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If navigation prompts are the reason you want an intercom, a jet has a genuine advantage: you can hear ambient traffic alongside the audio, which on a full-face is much harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUniversal audio sets up to 45 mm fit this helmet; no system is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1325 grams, and the rest of the honest list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerceived weight and actual weight are different things, and an open-face flatters both. At 1325 g the Y.10 is genuinely light; because there is no chin bar out front, it also feels lighter than the figure suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The absences are real: no chin protection, no clear screen, no independent rating, and considerable wind noise above 80 km\/h.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo outer shell sizes rather than one is what keeps the smallest Y.10 in proportion — a single shell scaled across XXS to XXL leaves small heads inside a helmet that is visibly too big for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 XXS–L uses the smaller shell; XL–XXL the larger. Measure around the widest part of your head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen something wears out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe serviceable parts list on this helmet is short because the helmet is simple: liner, padding, peak and the drop-down sun visor. That is essentially everything except the shell and the impact liner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Neither of those two is replaceable after an impact — a crushed EPS liner does not recover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Nexx's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNexx's range splits by shell material rather than by category: Polyfusion thermoplastic for the Y-range, composite and carbon for the X-range.

What you are buying is the execution. In white with camel trim it is also the version that does most for you in city traffic, because a pale shell at head height is what a driver's eye resolves first in flat light. 🔵 It is equally the version that shows road film soonest, and the camel trim will darken with skin contact over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe structure is conventional and appropriate: an injection-moulded thermoplastic shell to spread the load and resist penetration, and a polystyrene liner beneath it to absorb energy by crushing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A crushed liner does not recover. A helmet that has taken a real impact is finished, whatever it looks like from the outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 The peak is included rather than optional, which at this price is worth noting — most jets sell it separately. It fits without tools and comes off just as easily if you prefer the plain silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind it, the lightly tinted drop-down shield is the only screen the helmet has.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNexx describes the airflow as an active system for urban climate control, which is the right framing — this is a helmet for stop-start city riding rather than for sustained speed, and the ventilation is scaled to that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 An integrated two-stage top vent is fitted to some versions of the Y.10.

ECE 22-06's jet category has no requirement covering that region, and this helmet has no chin bar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Midtown Green Camel finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreen and tan is an old combination and a durable one — it belongs to waxed cotton, to leather luggage, and to the machines this helmet is most often worn on. On a jet, where the trim runs around the whole face opening in full view, that pairing does more design work than the shell colour alone ever could. It is also a genuinely uncommon choice, which on a helmet used daily in a city is worth something. 🔵 A mid-dark green hides road film reasonably well; the camel trim, in constant contact with your face, is the part that will show wear first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you are buying structurally: a compact \u003cstrong\u003ePolyfusion\u003c\/strong\u003e thermoplastic shell in two outer sizes, a polystyrene impact liner, and three separate market homologations including the current European standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 What you are not buying is a composite shell. That is the difference between this and Nexx's X-range, and most of the price difference too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield retracts fully into the shell rather than sitting part-way in your upper field of view, which is the failure mode of badly designed drop-down systems. Deployed, it covers the working field of view; retracted, it disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It is lightly tinted.

What differs is the paint and the detailing. In matt black that difference is at its least visible, which makes this the version to choose on appearance alone rather than on value. 🔵 Matt hides the handling marks a city helmet accumulates and holds dust more visibly than gloss; it is washed rather than polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If you are comparing inexpensive jets, the two questions worth asking are which ECE revision the helmet holds and how many shell sizes the range uses.

The Y.10 is a genuinely well-specified urban helmet at its price. And it offers no chin or jaw protection whatsoever, because the open-face category it is certified in does not include any.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy it for city speeds and short journeys.

In the Midtown line's finish it reads as deliberate rather than as a default. 🔵 Nothing in the specification changes between Y.10 versions — shell, sun visor, buckle, liner and approvals are identical from the cheapest to this one. You are paying for the execution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyfusion, two shells and three approvals\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is the least glamorous part of this helmet and the part that sets the price: injection-moulded \u003cstrong\u003ePolyfusion\u003c\/strong\u003e thermoplastic, in two outer sizes, at 1325 g ±50.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 It carries the same current \u003cstrong\u003eECE 22-06\u003c\/strong\u003e approval as helmets costing five times as much. What it does not carry is their weight advantage — though on a jet that gap is small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe sun visor, the peak — and the clear visor that is not there\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Before you buy, settle the eyewear question. The Y.10 supplies a peak and a lightly tinted drop-down shield, and nothing clear. If you ride only in daylight that is a complete solution; if you ride home in the dark it is not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear glasses or goggles are the answer, and the slim liner is cut to work with glasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAirflow on an open-face\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirflow on this helmet is deliberately understated because it does not need to be otherwise. The face opening is the intake; the crown system manages what is left; and a two-stage top vent appears on some versions of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 That last point is version-dependent and worth confirming for the finish you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior, glasses and the buckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 A helmet worn ten times a day lives or dies on small ergonomics: how quickly the buckle fastens, whether glasses catch, how easily the liner comes out for washing.

It is a genuinely well-specified urban jet: current ECE 22-06 approval, two shell sizes, a drop-down shield, a peak and 1325 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not a substitute for a full-face, and it does not come with a clear visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 Ten minutes is the test.

An impact crushes the EPS permanently; time degrades it whether the helmet is worn or stored. Neither is repairable, and both are why manufacturers recommend replacement after around five years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything else on the Y.10 — liner, padding, peak, shield — is a replaceable part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in Nexx's range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🔵 If you are cross-shopping this against a full-face at the same price, be clear about what you are comparing.

It is the cheapest helmet we sell that still clears ECE 22.06 without asking for a discount on anything else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFirst, the thing a jet helmet does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn open-face helmet has no chin bar. In frontal impacts the chin and jaw take a large share of the load, and this helmet leaves them exposed — that is not a defect, it is the category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuy a jet because you want air, peripheral vision and a helmet you can talk in at a fuel stop. Do not buy one expecting full-face protection at a lower price, and do not let anyone sell you one on that basis. If your riding is fast road or motorway, a full-face is the honest recommendation and we have plenty of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Cover C2 finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shell is a pale and slightly warm grey, matt throughout, with a deep navy panel wrapping around the rear quarter and a fine stripe pattern breaking the transition. The vent trims and the visor mechanism cover are gloss black, the MT logo sits small and tonal on the side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMatt on a light grey is a practical choice as well as a quiet one: it hides the fine scuffing a jet picks up from being carried by the strap, hung on mirrors and set down on café tables — which is most of what happens to a helmet in this class.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ECE 22.06 tests, and what it means on a jet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current European standard, mandatory since January 2024, is a genuinely harder test than the 22.05 it replaced: 18 impact points instead of five, several impact speeds, an oblique impact against an abrasive anvil to measure rotational loading, and a Brain Injury Criterion limit alongside the old peak-deceleration figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jet is tested to the same standard as a full-face — but only on the area it covers. 22.06 does not certify a chin bar that is not there. MT additionally lists DOT for the Aeris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo shell sizes across seven helmet sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT builds the Aeris in two outer shell sizes for a range running XXS to XXL. That is honest for the price and worth knowing before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo shells over seven sizes means the difference is made up in padding. A helmet at the small end of a shell sits a little larger on your head than its number suggests, and the fit at the shell boundary is approximate rather than precise. Try the size the chart gives you rather than ordering by tape measure alone — and if you are between sizes, take the smaller one, because new padding settles a few millimetres in the first hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVariable-density EPS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe impact liner is variable-density EPS: softer foam where the standard's impact energies are lower, denser where they are higher. On a shell this size that is the main lever a maker has, because there is less material to work with than on a full-face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEPS crushes once. It does not spring back, and it does not tell you it has been used — which is why any helmet that has taken a real impact is finished regardless of how it looks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe V-26 visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aeris carries a long V-26 visor with high optical quality and impact-resistant material, mounted on a mechanism capped by the MT logo — one of the details that gives this helmet its face.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA smoked version is available separately and is not included. There is no drop-down sun visor on the Aeris, so if you ride into low sun regularly, budget for the tinted V-26 or keep sunglasses in the jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAir in and air out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper intakes feed the shell and a rear extraction pulls the air back out. On a jet the aperture itself does much of the work, so the vent system is there for the crown rather than for the face — which is exactly where an open-face gets hot in traffic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior and closure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining is anti-allergenic, removable and washable, which on a helmet used for short urban trips in summer is not a luxury: a jet lining collects sweat faster than a full-face because there is more airflow across it and less of it in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetention is a micrometric buckle, revised by MT's engineering team. Quick in gloves, adjustable by one tooth at a time, and the right choice on a helmet you fasten several times a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does not have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chin bar — see above.

It is untested rather than poorly rated, and we would rather say so than borrow a number from another MT model.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo shells for seven sizes — precise enough at the price, less precise than a three-shell helmet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt €79.95 the Aeris is the entry point to our MT jets.

If most of your riding is fast road or motorway, buy a full-face; we would rather sell you the right helmet than the prettier one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eColour and being seen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA pale crown with a saturated rear is a genuinely useful combination in traffic, and not for the reason people assume. What a driver registers at a junction is contrast against the background, not brightness in isolation — and a helmet that is light on top and strongly coloured behind reads as an object rather than as part of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is still not fluorescent and it does nothing after dark. Reflective material on the jacket and a working headlight do the night-time work; a paint scheme does the daylight work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eECE 22.06 — the floor this clears\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe current European standard, mandatory since January 2024, tests harder than the 22.05 it replaced: 18 impact points instead of five, several speeds, an oblique impact against an abrasive anvil for rotational loading, and a Brain Injury Criterion limit. MT additionally lists DOT for the Aeris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a jet, 22.06 certifies the area the shell actually covers. It does not certify a chin bar that is not there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe foam under the shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside sits EPS in graded densities — the foam is tuned zone by zone rather than moulded as one uniform block. On an open-face there is markedly less material between skull and road than in a full-face, so how that little is graded carries more of the load than it would on a bigger helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo shell sizes, seven helmet sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMT moulds the Aeris in two outer shells across a range from XXS to XXL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonest consequence: the difference between sizes inside one shell is made up in padding. Towards the small end of a shell the helmet sits slightly larger on the head than the label suggests, and the fit at a shell boundary is approximate. Order the size the chart gives you, and if you fall between two, take the smaller — new padding settles a few millimetres in the first hours of riding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe V-26 visor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long V-26 visor in impact-resistant material with high optical quality, on a mechanism finished with the MT logo. It is a large screen for a jet and it is a large part of why the helmet looks the way it does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is no drop-down sun visor. A smoked V-26 is available separately and is not in the box — budget for it if you ride into low evening sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eVentilation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper intakes with a rear extraction. On an open-face the aperture does most of the cooling, so the vent system exists for the crown — which is exactly where a jet gets hot when you are stopped in traffic on a July afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eInterior and closure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lining is anti-allergenic, removable and washable. That matters more on a jet than on a full-face: more air crosses it, there is less of it, and it takes the sweat from short summer trips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe micrometric buckle was reworked by MT's engineers: it steps one tooth at a time and can be done up with gloves on, which is what a helmet fastened several times a day needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does not have\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo chin bar.

If yes, spend up.
