Revainrating 5 out of 5

It works very little.

First the good stuff. I love the look of this helmet. The sun visor helps protect the face shield and sun visor when not wearing a helmet. Now the rest. It works very little. I wear XXL and the size chart says they should be a little loose. Not with this helmet. It was like putting your head in a vise. Revain didn't offer a larger size that I could find and I looked at how the reviews said it runs small - it runs VERY SMALL. I bought this particular helmet to use the Sena-Kom so I didn't want to return it as I had bought special (and expensive) parts to use the kom. Bought two sets in total. One for me and one for my wife or daughter. My wife's helmet also runs small, and this helmet was an order of magnitude larger. After installing the Sena S10, I was in a lot of pain as things pressed against my ears. After tweaking the helmet a bit I found I couldn't get it back so I made a lot of modifications and tried to position the Sena speakers so they actually sit at my ear hole instead of being pushed against the top edge to become . The sun visor is very difficult to lower. The spring is strong enough to get it back up, but it doesn't fully retract into the helmet. It's also easy to accidentally press the Sena's controls while trying to find and send the sun visor. My daughter actually ripped off the visor handle trying to install it. It's held in place by a clip that I was able to reattach. I bought a tarpaulin face shield for my helmet. The "Top Thing" helmet's sun visor snaps into place and slides out. The face shield also snaps on and off. I broke one of the tabs holding the face shield but it seems to hold up and work fine. Removing and installing these parts is a grueling affair. I don't think these snap parts will hold up well after this plastic has aged a bit. I regret buying these helmets.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Not everything fits
