Excellent quality helmet from LS2, comes with helmet sack and helmet bag (this really helps preserve the helmet). ratchet style chin strap, dual visor, locking laser corrected
visor, and mouth vent, L/R forehead vents, and rear L/R vents all can be open or closed. Very snug fit although fitment is correct to size. If you are claustrophobic you might
want to order one size larger than you regularly wear. helmet weight at 1550+/-50 grams. comes with helmet donut which is nice to prevent scratching or just airing it out
after a ride. Fast order processing and quick shipping, affordable price and high quality.... Show more

Have used the helmet only for two trips now, but I am already impressed with its quality:+ very light (carbon version, size L)+ fit and comfort for my head ("long oval" shape). For example, Schuberth C-models (58/59) are too round, creating hot spots to my forehead and back of the skull.+ visor and sun shade are of good optical quality+ pretty effective ventilation with many ports+ in my use peak does not vibrate or create too much noise (depends on your bike, screen etc.)+ exceptional price to quality ratio (was on sale)- overall quality (finish, materials) is not quite there compared to Arai or Schuberth, but at this price point you cannot really expect anything else.- not really ideal to attach any other comms system than the LS2 Linkin Ride Pal- due to ...

After a few months and several thousands of miles of use, I am fairly happy with this helmet. It replaced an aged-out Shoei Hornet X2. I had previously replaced a dirt helmet with an LS2 and was very happy with it, so gave the Explorer a shot for street use.Fit/Comfort - I wear an XXL in Shoei, HJC, and Bell. Initially the LS2 helmets feel a bit snug but break in after several rides. That said I am still feeling a bit of a hot spot in the forehead area.Noise/ventilation - the helmet does vent well, especially in comparison to my old Hornet which did not. This obviously comes at a cost of some additional noise, but I wear ear plugs, so this is a non-issue.Visor optics - this is the area of my only complaint and will keep me from buying another.

The optic quality of both the inner tinted shield and the outer clear shield are just slightly off. Enough to be noticeable and irritating on a long ride. When both are used at the same time, the issue is compounded. I also ordered a tinted outer shield. Unfortunately, that shield is also not optically correct. Additionally, the shape of the lower portion of the shield rules out running it partially open in some positions and it will block your view.... Show more

Great helmet! Glad I bought this one.

19 March 2024

This is my first ADV helmet, I had worn my MX helmet and sunglasses before but this is a game changer. I have been able to ride on days that would have been too cool before because now I can close the vents and put the face shield down. When the temp goes up I can open the vents and get plenty of circulation, they do a great job. This helmet is also very quiet, very little wind and road noise. I like the option of using the tinted shield if needed, or flipping it up when it's not needed. The cheek pads and liner are the most comfortable I've ever used. The size chart was accurate, I was able to get a perfect fit the first time. Overall, I'm very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.... Show more

ITS JUST OK, BUT NOT THAT GREAT

27 March 2024

Its ok overal but i personally got some issues with it:The dropdown sun visor got stuck and broke on the first ride offroad because the dirt got into the mecanism. and it dosent drop down as far down as you would like.The peak is ok for slow riding but its to thin and wind makes it vibrate at higher speeds and shakes your head blurring your sight and making it annoying causing a headache on longer rides.The speaker holes are not that deep and cardo JBL speakers hurt my ears because they dont fit well.On the good side, its really comfortable and very ventilated. the desing is awsome as well. locking mechanism is good. vision is wide and fits goggles very well.I took the peak off and dont use the sunshield, using goggles, and it worked for me, but then again i ...

LS2... You made a great helmet!

10 June 2023

Fit is true to sizing chart for me. You will get the chipmunk effect and kind of feel like you'd chew your cheeks for a few rides but gets a little better with use. They really got the aerodynamics of the roost protector right. I felt no drag or wobble when riding extended periods at 70mph. I can't say that of some other helmets I own and was apprehensive of buying another helmet this style just because of that, but I forgot it was even on the helmet. Loving this so far. The ventilation on this helmet is superior to any other brand I've owned as well by far. I'm still trying to get used to landing my hand right for the sunvisor as I live in mountainous terrain and end up pointed right at the sun sometimes being completely blinded, and I find I'm still having a ...

Other than that I absolutely love it. Would buy it again and may just go ahead and get a carbon version as well.... Show more

Nice helmet

2 October 2023

Coming from a Gmax At-21.Pros..Thick padding and very comfortable and helps keep the wind noise down.Chinbar sits farther forward allowing more room in front of my face.Shield locks down until you hit the release button in the front.Visor does not try pulling the helmet up when riding or in windy conditionsQuick release on the chin strap that is held in place with a magnetGood air flow through the helmetCons..Chin curtain cause my glasses to fog upShell is made with multiple angles and the chinbar is tall. This makes mounting an action camera challenging.Instructions on how to get the panels over the visor and at the rear of the visor are poorly laid out with drawings only as to how to pop them off....

Outstanding ADV Helmet Value

29 September 2021

Excellent value when compared to other high-class ADV lids. Fiberglass construction instead of plastic, lots of fully closeable vents, drop down sun visor, ECE rated, multi-position peak, lightweight, and nice big face shield. Plus it came with a set of pinlocks, a set of reflector stickers, an inflatable stand, an soft cover bag, and a carrying bag. Airflow is excellent and keeps me cool over 100F. Sound dampening is good for how much airflow you're getting. The peak does not significantly pull in the wind in the low position, even at 80 mph, but provides a good amount of shade. It does run on the narrower side.This helmet has one major issue: it takes some finagling to mount a comm. Putting in the speakers was easy, but there's no good way to attach the comm ...

Putting in the speakers was easy, but there's no good way to attach the comm itself using the clip mount. I ended up using the sticky mount for my Cardo Freecom 2+ and as long as you make sure to push down the wings on the mounting bracket when applying it goes on strong in the perfect position on the chinbar between the chin vent and the LS2 logo....

There are better options.

26 June 2024

The good - Fit and internal padding are comfortable. Weight is decent. Wind management overall is good with no excessive lifting at speed.The bad - Drop down sun visor is crap. Broke on my first ride. Have had the peak visor mounting screws come loose at 70 mph, let's just say it was annoying.Would I recommend it? No, at this price range there have to be better options....

Very surprised with the fit and quality.

28 April 2024

I've always worn Arai and klim helmets, I was in the market for a new adventure lid and had been reading reviews of the LS2 on many adventure riding sites, thought I would jump in and give one a try. First impression was how good the quality and build is, way better than expected, comes with great carrying holdall and a genuine pinloc insert. Riding with the helmet for around 20 hours now, it's super comfortable, very quiet, probably the quietest lid I've ever owned, great vision and awesome airflow with many venting options. Build quality and finish seems to be up there with the top names, also safety is DOT, ECE, and I've noticed on some UK video reviews it gets ACU gold rated, so track rated. I had was slightly nervous breaking away from the big brands but have ...

I had was slightly nervous breaking away from the big brands but have been very surprised by my purchase, the fit is most definitely intermediate oval, some say they had trouble fitting coms, I fired my Cardo freecom into mine with no issues, I did find I had to put the internal speakers slightly more forward then in my other helmets but they are comfortable and sound great. Helmet is too new to comment on durability but coming from a company that has built helmets behind the scenes for many big brands I'm sure they have this nailed. Go on, give one a try, every brand has to start somewhere, I'm sure this name will be all over the motorcycle tracks of the world soon.... Show more
