Nexx call it the wildest adventure helmet. Find out what we think of it here

This helmet was an upgrade due to ear pains with my old one. So much better less wind noise. And easy to install an intercom. Overall improvement and made riding enjoyable again. And great service from the guys and girls at Norwich branch.
I could disagree more with another reviewer (Audrius Z). I've had Arai helmets, a Shoei GT Air 2 and most recently an HJC Rpha 70, but this Nexx is by far the quietest that I have ever had. It has a quality visor and visor mechanism that stays where you put it (unlike the HJC). The HJC visor also used to mist up when you stop and leak in heavy rain, but i have high hopes for this one.
If I had a gripe it would be that they have adapted it to suit their own X-Com 3 system and my existing intercom doesn't clip onto. I'll work on a solution for this.
All in all I'd say 'well done Nexx!'.
Nice and snug fitting with no pressure spots. quite for what it is although the peak can drag your head up or down depending on the angle your at ... my Airoh strangely doesn't do this ... easy enough to fit a cardo to it although the mic placement is a tad awkward given how they have retained the chin bar vent filter. Ventilation is not particularly noticeable (unlike the neotec 3) but seems to cope with UK 30 degree heat almost ;) Visor fitting / removal is about the simplest I've come across apart from trying to see the locations when fitting the supplied dark visor :)
Down sides .... top vents do whistle but only when the peak is off !, it's a little susceptible to cross winds and the visor seal isn't perfect so some rain gets in along the top edge. Oakley goggles fit nicely in the eye port too.
Dare I say it - I prefer this to my Neotec 3 for motorway speed noise levels and my Airoh commander 2 for fit so would I recommend ?
A hearty Yes.
E-mailed me to say the helmet was in stock and at this point I hadn't actually bought the product.
Once the order was in place sportsbikeshop e-mailed me with all the relevant updates and delivery of product was very quick.
I can highly recommend sportsbikeshop for products.
Great value especially if you dont mind not having the latest fashion
I got this for the looks ngl, but its so comfortable I love it. Bit of a pain to add a headset as its pre-built for the senna, but with a couple of sticky pads and some wire wiggling it does fit a cardo. It comes with a clear visor too, and as per uk regulations the mirror visor is daytime legal so no worries about that. I'd definitely recommend it ?
Great fit and really good features including additional tinted visor and pin lock in the box. Colours are great.
Not too heavy to wear and used it recently on a 500 mile road trip with no issues
