YM-627

I got the XXL size and can say this is absolutely the best helmet fit and functionality I have ever experienced. Here's the breakdown on helmet choices: 1. Bicycles: First is the typical affordable ($20) bicycle helmet or hardhat baseball cap which most people wear and is good for maybe 15mph but useless if it is not strapped on tight. I know this from racing 10-speeds and taking wipeouts. If you look at fail compilations on bicycles, scooters, and bikes, you'll see there is a lot of faceplants. Faceplants mean inexorable agony and reconstructive surgery for the next year. Really, is it worth saving 50 bucks for this? Toss this option out. 2. Ebikes, scooters: Next is the thicker full coverage helmet like the ILM: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09BQQN8KY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 This is a good choice for most riders riding about 25mph. It is comfortable, light and has a visor to protect against faceplants. You can get a non-tinted visor too for riding at night. Note it costs $70. 3. Next is a dirtbike / mountainbike helmet with full head and face protection like the Fox V1: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098G5JHZZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1 This is a good offroad option to around 30-40 mph. I find these terribly uncomfortable, bulky, and hot though. Very hard to find an XXL size. Note price of $85. 4. The helmet of this review has some great features: a. Very comfortable. b. Excellent peripheral view and ability to see behind me with 90 deg neck turn. c. Full face clear visor. A must. Besides faceplants, rain, puddle, or sprinklers can temporarily blind you. d. Switch operated tinted sun visor. e. Really felt as functional as the ILM. f. Easy on and off g. Great deal at $65. h. Really hits the sweet spot for value. I wouldn't go for much more than 40 mph on this, which meets my requirements. I think it is an excellent choice and I have been really looking forward to rides with it. I am primarily an off-roader. 5. Beyond 40 mph i.e. motorcycles with riding speeds 50-80 mph, I have been told by pro bike racers to get the best helmets which go for $600. A friend of mine, a retired pro racer, explains it like this: 1. At these speeds, you can easily get crippled or dead. 2. Helmets are not the department in your life to save money. 3. With a $5000 deductible for most health plans, it's a no-brainer to spend $1000 on safety gear. 4. Get a neck support collar made to mate with the helmet. Helmets don't prevent neck injuries. Having the right safety gear gives me confidence at all times. This includes dirt-bike grade elbow pads, knee braces, chest/back protection, and padded shirts/pants. Choking on a jump is the pathway to pain. Safety gear makes the experience more enjoyable and allows me to progress in skill and confidence. If you don't survive the learning curve, you will never get to enjoy the great riding sports which give wings to mere ground dwellers. Ride on.

Received the helmet today and am quite impressed. The visors were easy to manipulate and both were pre-installed... and the fit was exactly as I expected. Outside noise is suppressed, but not extinguished completely so you can hear the noise but not be confused. Overall, I'm happy for the intimidating look, fit, noise reduction and price. The measuring outline was a great help, because it fit exactly ;-)

What I like about this helmet first of all is the design. It is 3/4 face covering helmet, covering parts of the jaw which provides more protection than my previously owned 1/2 face heletd. I also like having both a pop down sun visor and clear wind visor. The fit is snug an true to size. I do question the effectivness of the vents in the summer. Also the helmet appears to sit high up on the crown of my head.

Fit well, shaded lenses are nice, all of the mechanisms and chinstrap felt solid and not cheap! Well made product at an affordable price!

Great helmet. I bought for my e-bike winter commute as New England is freezing. My regular bike helmet didn’t keep my head warm at all. This helmet is insulated and has a face shield. When the sun was to glaring I can hit a switch on helmet and a shaded visor pops down. I plan to upgrade my e-bike to one that looks more like a motorcycle and not a mountain bike. This was a game changer in the wind and rain. Also has air vents to prevent fogging. I guess the only downside of the helmet to me was the gap of space under the chin area and that’s only because I bought a three-quarter helmet instead of a full helmet, but easily fixed by wearing a neck towel that can come up over the chin. trust me I’ve been in 18° weather with the wind coming at me at 24 miles an hour and I wouldn’t have been able to survive the bike ride without that helmet. The price was awesome too, I figured a motorcycle helmet would be way more than $100. This thing was only about $67. It comes with reflective decals that you can put on the front of the helmet. I may attach a rare, blinking light and you can also buy front LED lights that you could put on the front of the helmet for extra light. My bike is lit up at night for protection, and every way, but I don’t feel goofy put an extra lights on anywhere because I was literally hit on my bike during the daytime on a bright sunny day in the summer so I’m not taking any chances . The Hilton looks slick, futuristic, and really cool. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments that were genuine. Comes with a caring sack which I highly recommend because you don’t want your helmet looking beat up. If it’s knocking around I would recommend us to everyone. I can’t wait to get my new bike and cruise around with that helmet on. Buy this helmet you won’t be disappointed. I give it an extra star.

Where I live (Bermuda) we use these style helmets all the time. Riding mopeds (50 cc - 150 cc) is a huge mode of transportation here and helmets are required by law. Dot approved helmets are top of the list here. The problem is we don't carry enough product for consumer demand so I ordered this helmet here on Amazon. It's a very nice helmet. The matte black is gorgeous and it even came with some reflective stickers. I could tell right away this is a strong, sturdy helmet. I've been wearing them for over 32 years now. It fits as expected. I wear a medium, I ordered a medium, I received a medium, and it fits me perfectly. The padding inside was a pleasant surprise! It is well padded and VERY comfortable. The clear visor is crystal clear and the dark, retractable shaded visor is nice and dark (perfect for here) and retracts smoothly and quietly. I am very pleased with my new helmet and will probably order it again if I have to. But I have a feeling that this one will last me a long, long time providing I don't lose it or it gets stolen ... I highly recommend this helmet and feel confident you will not be disappointed.
