LS2 Helmets Open Face Spitfire Helmet

Fit is accurate, the visor is great and easily changed to a clear for night riding in just a couple minutes. There is some noise and buffeting at higher speeds but still really good for the price point and a lighter helmet

Meets euro safety standards, easy to slide on and off my head with my glasses on. Easy to prop on my bike. Actually protects you. Good value. At first i thought it made me look rediculous/was too big up top, but when I'm on the road with my face bandana and gear on it looks right. I look like shadow company from mw2 in this helmet. Visor is nice in daytime and works well. Back when I was shopping for this helmet it was between this one and other 3/4ths and I was hesitant to buy it because of the rubber Loop in the back that isn't removable, it's a non-issue. Although I hate full helmets cuz they're a pain in the a$$ I consider them sexier but this 3/4ths looks good and gets compliments. Very satisfied. Writing this makes me wish it was riding season.

I LOVE this helmet. I have only recently switched to a 3/4 helmet, and only did so because of how heavy my full face one was. After 6 hours on the bike, my upper back and neck would be super sore. I had bought a cheap BILT Jet to try it out and loved it. But it was just super basic. This with the added visor and awesome graphics was exactly what I wanted. Love the visor. I have tried other helmets where the visor didn't come down very far, but that is not the case here. This comes down and touches the end of my nose. I am also able to wear glasses under it. I also love the quick release chin strap. I was reading that people tend to love it or hate it? I don't understand the hate honestly. Overall a great helmet at a great price. I measured right between the large and xl, so I bought one of each and planned on returning the one that did not fit since I had read other reviews stating that it seemed to run small. My BILT helmet was a large for reference. The large fit perfectly. The xl seemed to somehow fit tighter on my head? Maybe it is my head shape? It is also slightly heavier and bulkier than my BILT jet helmet. I see this as a good thing because that usually means more protection.

I wanted to try out a 3/4 helmet so I got this one. Here's my pros and cons. Pros: 1) Price - under $110 and it's DOT and ECE rated. Obvi not Snell rated since it has a retractable sunvisor and it's an open face bike helmet. 2) The sunvisor was what I was going for. I'm older so I have to wear distance correction glasses for driving and the sunvisor fits over them with no issues or distortion. 3) Super lightweight - my size Large weighs 2.47 lbs (1120 grams) 4) Comes with a helmet bag. 5) Comfortable fit for a large without squeezing my head or cheeks. Back in the day 20-25 years ago, a medium would fit snug and a large would be a little bit more roomy (full face helmets) Nowadays, NO way I can shoehorn my 7.5" fitted cap/58cm head in any modern medium full face helmet and even large helmets squeeze my cheeks. The LS2 Spitfire in large is a nice comfy fit. Cons: 1) This open face helmet is loud/noisy in the wind. Even with the sunvisor down. I probably will relegate this helmet to lower speed scoots around town or if it's really hot outside. Definitely safer/quieter in a full face. 2) The ratchet strap is polarizing. You either like it or you don't. I like it because it's quick to put on, but the padding behind the strap moves around and for men it's easy to pinch your adams apple if the padding is off center. Plus since it's not a double-D ring, you probably won't be able to use this helmet on any helmet lock system that relies on locking the D-ring. 3) Rain hurts on your exposed mouth/cheeks that and cicadas at 75mph. (see photo) 4) The goggle loop at the back is NOT detachable - like really? 5) No three front forehead snaps if you want to add a front bill or bubble shield if you were planning to. 6) It is an open face helmet - if you crash and land on your face, well yeah = you won't be protected.

Too bad it didn't fit. :( I have a long oval head, and this did NOT work for me. (Not the helmets fault though.) I'm very sad about that, because this thing is absolutely gorgeous. WAYYY nice than in the pictures. The colors are deep and rich, and the main brown color has a sparkly gold-ish tint, and it looks like some NOS vintage piece. Seems excellent quality. If they ever come out with a 4xl I will be buying lol. Hope this helps! Oh, and I was able to return it no problem.

Purchased this to have an addition to my half helmet. Wanted something to cover my ears when I had earbuds on. It's comfortable and has some nice features like the flip down visor and quick release latch. However with this helmet on as expected I can't hear the stereo as well on the motorcycle. But if I use earbuds or Jawbone, then it's a better experience than the half helmet. I really like the design of these helmets and it's my second LS2 helmet in The Last 5 Years. I had also purchased a full face one and was very pleased with the comfort and fit and the extra features. Just the little things like a lip to move the shield up and down make a huge difference. It's nice that LS2 thought of the small things which is what they should do but too many companies today bang out a product without ever testing it in the real world. I felt the price was very fair and am pleased with this helmet.

Helmet arrived very quickly. Within 3 days! Upon inspection, the gold flake is absolutely immaculate!!!! Very lightweight and easy on the neck. Great buckle that unlatches with ease. Love the hide away visor but unfortunately the air vents it comes with are obstructed by the visor when visor is being used. Overall, it's my favorite helmet I own.

Compliments and comfort come with this helmet.
