LS2 Vector 2 Carbon - Grid Matt Black / Grey

The list of top features is long. A lightweight, stylish helmet that is comfortable and more quiet than my Vector C Carbon it replaced. LS2 helmets are superb value, I have two and my wife has one too.

Many years ago, I had an Arai helmet which was an excellent fit for my long oval head. After a break from biking for a few years, I bought a new helmet from a different manufacturer, which was initially comfortable, but after about an hour caused pressure on my temples and became very uncomfortable. It took a total of three visits to two branches of Sportsbikeshop to eventually settle on this LS2 Vector2. As advised, I wore it indoors for 45 minutes or so without any pain, so ventured out on my bike for a two hour ride. It does feel a little snug on my cheeks, but fits my head shape perfectly, with no distracting pressure exerted on my temples. Ventilation seems effective, too and the helmet came with a pin lock insert and an illegally dark tinted visor in the box. Being carbon, it's also quite light and well featured for the price. Visor removal and refitting to fit the Pinlock insert, following a YouTube video, was fairly pain free, too. The only downside is it's slightly noisy, so effective earplugs are a necessity, but if you have a similar, long oval head shape to mine, this comes highly recommended.
