LS2 Helmets Open Face Spitfire Helmet

Although I had to return this helmet, it was absolutely beautiful. It would be very comfortable, however, I had surgery on my ear a few months ago, and it is painful with that over my ear. That's not their fault, the helmet is amazingly made, looks great, and seems to fit like a glove. I just couldn't wear it with my surgery. The company did a great job, and if I get the ability to heal a little more, I'm sure I would buy it again.

After 3 months riding with it, the visor blew off on the highway, comfortable helmet but visor is crap, will never buy LS2 helmets again

I recommend, good quality, looks great.

I LOVE this helmet. I have only recently switched to a 3/4 helmet, and only did so because of how heavy my full face one was. After 6 hours on the bike, my upper back and neck would be super sore. I had bought a cheap BILT Jet to try it out and loved it. But it was just super basic. This with the added visor and awesome graphics was exactly what I wanted. Love the visor. I have tried other helmets where the visor didn't come down very far, but that is not the case here. This comes down and touches the end of my nose. I am also able to wear glasses under it. I also love the quick release chin strap. I was reading that people tend to love it or hate it? I don't understand the hate honestly. Overall a great helmet at a great price.I measured right between the large and xl, so I bought one of each and planned on returning the one that did not fit since I had read other reviews stating that it seemed to run small. My BILT helmet was a large for reference. The large fit perfectly. The xl seemed to somehow fit tighter on my head? Maybe it is my head shape?It is also slightly heavier and bulkier than my BILT jet helmet. I see this as a good thing because that usually means more protection.

I wanted to try out a 3/4 helmet so I got this one. Here's my pros and cons.Pros:1) Price - under $110 and it's DOT and ECE rated. Obvi not Snell rated since it has a retractable sunvisor and it's an open face bike helmet.2) The sunvisor was what I was going for. I'm older so I have to wear distance correction glasses for driving and the sunvisor fits over them with no issues or distortion.3) Super lightweight - my size Large weighs 2.47 lbs (1120 grams)4) Comes with a helmet bag.5) Comfortable fit for a large without squeezing my head or cheeks. Back in the day 20-25 years ago, a medium would fit snug and a large would be a little bit more roomy (full face helmets) Nowadays, NO way I can shoehorn my 7.5" fitted cap/58cm head in any modern medium full face helmet and even large helmets squeeze my cheeks. The LS2 Spitfire in large is a nice comfy fit.Cons:1) This open face helmet is loud/noisy in the wind. Even with the sunvisor down. I probably will relegate this helmet to lower speed scoots around town or if it's really hot outside. Definitely safer/quieter in a full face.2) The ratchet strap is polarizing. You either like it or you don't. I like it because it's quick to put on, but the padding behind the strap moves around and for men it's easy to pinch your adams apple if the padding is off center. Plus since it's not a double-D ring, you probably won't be able to use this helmet on any helmet lock system that relies on locking the D-ring.3) Rain hurts on your exposed mouth/cheeks that and cicadas at 75mph. (see photo)4) The goggle loop at the back is NOT detachable - like really?5) No three front forehead snaps if you want to add a front bill or bubble shield if you were planning to.6) It is an open face helmet - if you crash and land on your face, well yeah = you won't be protected.

Bought this as a gift for a friend who rides a Harley. He rarely wears a helmet and calls himself politically incorrect, so to appeal to that, we chipped in and got him this “politically incorrect” helmet for his birthday.The fit is true to size, the graphics are crisp and bright, and the helmet clasp is easy to operate. It is comfortably padded and has a built in drop down sun shade. This helmet is DOT certified.My friend loved it, he said this is a helmet he will actually wear. We are all happy that another rider will be more safe on the road with us.

It's very nice looking helmet. My son bought it for the ww2 bomber look. He says it is comfortable and cool. The visor works well. Just a little snug. Ordered according to the sizing chart. Actually bumped up a size. He's very happy with the purchase.

It's a decent back-up helmet. Fit is a little off so be ready to send it back. I fall between medium and large, and a medium was too small, large almost feeling too loose, Not much room for adjustment. Will turn heads but I really doubt it would save my life in a crash over 40mph.
