This listing follows the photograph over the supplier's colour code where the two do not agree.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a daily rider actually notices\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot the graphics, most days — the internal sun visor that drops with one hand, the intercom unit that fits without drilling or trimming the shell, and the outer visor that comes off for cleaning without hunting for a screwdriver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA fit built around actual daily wear\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemovable, washable liner; cheek pads cut for glasses; six sizes across two shells rather than one — three fit decisions aimed at a helmet that gets worn every day, not just tried on once in a shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSame visor, five different helmets\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhichever of the D-Skwal 3, Skwal i3, Skwal i Cup, Skwal Cup or Ridill 2 a rider chooses, the visor is the same VZ400 family: Optical class 1, vortex generator, 3 mm to 2.2 mm variable thickness, anti-scratch coating, Pinlock 70 fitted with adjustable tension, tool-free central lock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVent layout, confirmed independently\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo chin-mounted intakes, two crown-mounted exhausts, every one glove-operable: that is the D-Skwal 3's airflow system as confirmed by a 1,700-mile independent test, which rated it adequate for normal riding and flagged hot-weather limits addressed by cracking the visor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the smaller-shell figure implies\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShark publishes 1,540 g for the D-Skwal 3's first, smaller shell — a figure that will run a little higher on the bigger shell covering sizes L to XXL. Either way, it sits within the roughly 1,250-1,800 g range typical of road-legal full-face helmets, a weight measured in hours of neck support rather than a moment on a shop counter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dashed matte finish, in use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA matte navy base carries thin pink and cyan-blue diagonal lines rather than a bold colour block, giving this decor a cooler, more understated read than the gloss white or black Dashed siblings. Matte finishes generally hide fine scuffs under direct light better than gloss, at the cost of showing fingerprints more readily.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe matte-navy Dashed carries the same EUR 269.99 as its two gloss siblings. Its quieter, more understated look is a style choice here, not a discount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the EPS liner actually does\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMulti-density EPS spreads impact absorption unevenly on purpose — firmer where the geometry demands it, softer elsewhere — rather than relying on one foam density everywhere. It sits inside the thermoplastic shell described above, under whichever decor is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrice context that holds up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet against Shark's current road-helmet range, this decor's price reads as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt EUR 269.99, this is where the decor itself sits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHelmet line\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStarting price\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD-Skwal 3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 219.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkwal i3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 319.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRidill 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 189.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSkwal Cup\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003efrom EUR 269.99\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent list prices, Shark's 2027 road range. The comparison is deliberately price-only; the other three helmets' construction and features are not detailed here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSaid directly, not buried\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis helmet does not carry MIPS, EQRS or tear-off posts, and IRID photochromic tinting is not offered on it (reserved for the AERON GP, AERON and RACE R PRO). It holds ECE 22.06 certification only, no FIM. SHARP lists a 'Shark D-Skwal' from 2018 under the older 22.05 standard — a different helmet from this D-Skwal 3, which has no SHARP score of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe abrasive-anvil test, explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne part of ECE 22.06 involves striking the shell at an angle against a rough, abrasive surface — the abrasive anvil — to simulate a helmet scraping and rotating across tarmac rather than hitting it square on. That test, plus a rotational Brain Injury Criterion score, eighteen impact points at multiple speeds, and testing with visor, Pinlock and comms fitted, is what this helmet's ECE 22.06 certification (mandatory in the EU since January 2024, no FIM suffix) actually covers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Shark means by focused performance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot every performance feature belongs on an everyday helmet, and the D-Skwal 3's spec sheet reflects a set of deliberate choices about which ones do: aerodynamic stability, certified protection, and a properly specified visor, without the added weight or cost of a competition-grade feature set nobody uses on the school run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA closer look at Dashed, in matte navy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe third Dashed colourway departs furthest from its two gloss siblings: a matte dark navy base rather than gloss white or black, with thin pink and cyan-blue diagonal lines rather than the bold red-and-blue stripe blocks of the other two. Shark's own price-list colour code names this variant Blue Purple Blue, but the actual product photography shows hot pink and magenta accents rather than a violet-purple tone in any meaningful amount, alongside the cyan-blue — a mismatch between the supplier's colour code and what the photograph shows, and this listing follows the photograph. The result reads as the quietest, most understated of the three Dashed variants, better suited to a rider who wants the family's diagonal-stripe design language without the higher-contrast boldness of the white or black gloss siblings.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA matte navy base hides road grime reasonably well day to day, though the thin pink and cyan stripe details benefit from a gentle, non-abrasive clean to avoid dulling their contrast against the matte surface over time. Sizing runs the same XS-XXL chart as the rest of the range.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoosing this matte-navy Dashed variant over its two gloss siblings is largely a statement of restraint: same diagonal stripe layout, but toned down in both colour saturation and surface shine compared with the bolder white or black gloss options in the same family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe wind-noise verdict, from an independent source\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA journalist's own long-term test, not this listing, is the source: pretty loud without earplugs, with a whistle above roughly 25 mph whenever the visor is cracked open for extra airflow. No manufacturer decibel figure is quoted because none has been reliably published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpares that outlast a graphic decor\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever happens to this decor's finish over time, the visor itself stays supported: Shark's spare-visor collection names the D-Skwal 3, alongside the Skwal Cup, Ridill 2 and Skwal i3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eDecor HE0936BVB carries the same 2206 homologation code as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, with no FIM suffix. A Sharktooth or SENA intercom unit fits decor HE0936BVB's shell at purchase or later, without any modification needed. Decor HE0936BVB's micrometric buckle and multi-density EPS liner are identical to every other D-Skwal 3 on sale, independent of the graphic on top. Whatever graphic sits on top, decor HE0936BVB's underlying weight, shell count and closure hardware match the rest of the D-Skwal 3 line exactly. Decor HE0936BVB's six sizes, XS through XXL, follow the same size chart as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, so a rider's usual Shark size carries over directly. Decor HE0936BVB ships from the same Portuguese production line as the rest of the D-Skwal 3 range, with no separate sourcing for this particular graphic.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shark","offers":[{"title":"XS \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303264522,"sku":"HE0936BVB_XS","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"S \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303330058,"sku":"HE0936BVB_S","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"M \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303362826,"sku":"HE0936BVB_M","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"L \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303395594,"sku":"HE0936BVB_L","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303297290,"sku":"HE0936BVB_XL","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL \/ Dashed BVB HE0936","offer_id":53819303231754,"sku":"HE0936BVB_XXL","price":1556.9,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7831\/0410\/files\/HE0936BVB-00-front-three-quarter-view.png?v=1790466235","url":"https:\/\/inter-pace.com\/en-fo\/products\/d-skwal-3-dashed-he0936ebvb","provider":"Inter-Pace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
