Nexx X.WST3 - Fluence Grey / Red

While helmet it self look good, feels good to wear and has a massive FOV it lacks in sound proofing. Must be because it has too many air vents. It is the first helmet that made me buy ear plugs. I would return it, but I foolishly threw the box away cause I was influenced by other people saying that this helmet is perfect. The one I have isn't unfortunately. Also a seal between a visor and a shell is weak, during rain water gets on the inside of the visor and pools on the bottom between visor and shell.

This is my second Nexx helmet and I have to say, I've loved owning both. Positives: the wide aperture of the visor giving excellent field of vision. The venting is very good with a total of 6 intake vents on the front, all of which flow a good amount of air. The quietness of the lid is up there with any I have owned previously (and I've owned plenty of lids in my time). The internal visor is also excellent and covers all of the required vision. Its a comfortable lid with a lovely interior. The build quality overhaul is excellent and up there with more expensive lids. A couple of niggles though, the chin vent has to be fitted by
yourself upon delivery and has worked its way loose a couple of times when placing the lid on your head. There is also a small section of misting by your nose on occasion when the weather is wet which although doesn't impede of the your vision, is still noticeable. I feel a better quality pinlock (the lid is supplied with a mid level one) would sort out the issue. Nevertheless, I have still scored the lid 5 stars as these are small niggles. Finally on value for money, this Nexx is up there with more expensive offerings from the big boys so offers excellent return for your money in my opinion.
