{"product_id":"ls2-ff818-storm-iii-kaos-hv-yellow-helmet","title":"LS2 FF818 Storm III Helmet – Kaos Hi-Vis Yellow","description":"\u003cp\u003eKaos in fluorescent yellow, and under a gloss coat rather than matt. That combination makes it the brightest helmet LS2 currently builds on this shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eEverything that is usually an extra\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Storm III is the best-equipped of the three LS2 full-face helmets in this price bracket, and the equipment is the reason to choose it. Pinlock 70 MaxVision supplied, not offered. An internal sun visor that deploys with a slider and lifts out by hand. A magnetic chin curtain that clicks into place rather than needing to be threaded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Kaos Hi-Vis Yellow finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGloss over fluorescent pigment is unusual — most manufacturers use matt because it spreads the colour evenly. The gloss version trades some of that even readability for genuine luminosity: in direct sun it appears to glow rather than simply to be bright. Fluorescent paint fades under UV faster than ordinary colour, so keep it out of a sunny window when it is not being worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA large top intake, and what it feeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo intakes, ducted polystyrene, rear extractors, breath deflector — and the intakes are large. That is the single specification LS2 leads with on this helmet, and on a shell carrying a sun visor it matters more than usual: a sun-visor housing takes up space that would otherwise be liner, so the air has to work harder to reach your head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe release you hope never to need\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chin strap closes with a ratchet buckle on reinforced webbing, and the cheek pads carry an emergency release system — pull tabs that let a first responder draw the padding clear so the helmet can come off without moving your neck. It is a feature you will never use yourself, which is rather the point of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo screens, one shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou look out through a Max Vision aperture — LS2's widest cut — with a scratch-resistant hardcoat and a twin-injection seal that keeps rain out of the gap. A button lock stops the visor lifting at motorway speed. Seven replacement screens are available, from clear to iridium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the ECE 22.06 plaque actually means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWorth a paragraph, because most shops leave it as a line in a table. ECE 22.06 tests up to eighteen impact points where 22.05 tested five, uses more than one impact speed, and — the substantive change — measures rotational acceleration through an oblique drop onto an angled, abrasive anvil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStraight-line impact was always the easier problem. Rotation is what a real crash usually delivers, and it is what damages the brain at energies a shell survives comfortably. The standard also brings the visor and every fitted accessory into the test, and has been mandatory for new helmets sold in the EU since January 2024.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFit and shell sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 shells, XXS to 3XL. It is the sensible middle ground: not the six-shell extravagance of a race helmet, and a long way from the one-size-fits-all moulding that makes small helmets look inflated and heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe bit you actually touch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe interior is the part you actually touch, and here it is thick, removable, washable, antibacterial and hypoallergenic. Add a magnetic chin curtain and prepared speaker recesses and the helmet is ready for long days rather than short commutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOn noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNobody publishes a decibel figure for this helmet and we are not going to invent one. What can be said is where the noise comes from: turbulence at the base of the shell, air entering under the chin bar, and open vents. The chin curtain here is magnetic, which is not a gimmick: a popper-fastened curtain gets left off after the second cleaning, and a curtain that is not fitted does nothing. The sun-visor housing does widen the shell slightly at the temples compared with a helmet without one, which is a small aerodynamic cost for a large practical gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest is not the helmet's doing. A tall screen that pushes dirty air straight at your head will make any lid loud, and a naked bike at 130 km\/h will beat the best-sealed helmet on the market. Earplugs remain the cheapest upgrade in motorcycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e1600 grams, and what it buys\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1600 grams, mid-size shell, no accessories. That is a real number and a real trade-off — it is the heaviest LS2 helmet in this shop. What it buys is everything the lighter models leave out, and on a touring bike with a screen the difference is far less noticeable than it is on a naked at 130 km\/h.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1600 grams (±50 g), mid-size shell, no accessories — the industry convention, so the number is comparable with any other manufacturer's. What it buys you is fatigue: neck strain over a long ride is a function of mass, and a hundred grams that mean nothing in a showroom mean a great deal at the end of a four-hour stint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithin our own LS2 line-up only 5 helmets are lighter, and each of them costs more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it sits in our LS2 range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEight LS2 full-face models are listed here and they form a ladder rather than a wall of choices.
