I got this helmet for improved visibility, the inner visor and quick connect chin strap were just gravy, my bike has an upright riding position and I can now see the gauges without tipping my head down. Although this helmet is more stable at speed there is considerably more wind noise than my previouse Bell, but that can be remedied with ear plugs. I followed the size chart and am pleased with the fit.

Once you see how the face sheild works, it can be raised and lowered with just your thumb.

This is one of , if not the best helmet I have ever used in forty years of riding. I thought the design would be useful but had no idea for sure. I got it out of the box and the size and fit were spot on. THe removable chin piece is simple and works well. Great field of view with this thing. I was shocked at how well it worked and the quality of the helmet for the money.

I feel like it is a great bargain and recommend it highly.

I had tried various full face helments on and always felt like my vision was hindered by them. After looking online I saw this one and ordered it. Wow it is amazing. The chin bar is removable, 2 air vents, tinted drop down visor. The chin stap is very easy to release and the shield it easily raised with one hand. I got on the interstate at 90 mpr and it did not feel like my head was going to rip off (no windshield on bike) I am very pleased and would order it again.

I only have about a hundred miles on this so far. Helmet was on sale for $70 and seems well worth that. I'm used to a full face, but was looking for something not quite as hot for summer riding. In 3/4 mode, this helmet seems fine. Chin strap very easy to connect/disconnect. Once you get used to the trick of lifting the visor straight up to unlock it from the up position, it's pretty easy to flip down one handed, but took a bit of practice.

The only gripe I really have with the helmet is the cheesy plastic clips that hold the chin bar to the helmet. They seem a bit ... well flimsy. In the full face mode. I doubt they'd hold the chin bar on in case of an accident, so you have some false sense of safety with it in the full face mode. If you want full face protection, I'd suggest sticking to a real full face helmet. Other than that, a pretty good value.

This helmet saved my life on Thursday, July 9th, in Dallas, Texas. I was wearing this helmet when a car turned in front of me from the left-hand lane in an attempt to cross my lane and get to a parking lot on the other side. There was no turn signal, no warning. I hit the front passenger quarter of the car with my motorcycle and flew over the handlebars, rolling onto the hood and then off the hood. The driver then ran over me, and I was dragged about five feet under the car, where I was pinned. The car was a Nissan Altima, and by all accounts I should not have fit under there, much less my helmet.

Police and pedestrians assembled in the next four minutes and lifted the car off my pinned, lifeless body. I was not breathing. An ambulance took me to a nearby hospital for emergency surgeries. Thirteen hours later, I was able to breathe unassisted. Today, six days later, I can walk and talk. I have a lot of stitches and a sprained ankle, but no broken bones and no concussion. Not even a tiny hemorrhage in the brain, thanks in part to this excellent helmet.

I kept the helmet. It is shaven a bit from the road and from the undercarriage of the car. That could have been my skull! The mouthpiece cracked under the extreme circumstances, and a small area started melting from the heat of the car. However, my head is perfectly intact. It is the least bruised or broken part of my body. I will buy this helmet for any friends or family who ride. The cushioning and construction came through under the most arduous of road tests.

I have a police report and a security camera video that bear out what I experienced. Many thanks to the manufacturers of Xelement Evolution 2-IN-1 Black Helmet as well as to LeatherUp for effectively saving my life for only $62.95. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to examine the condition of the helmet post-accident. All the best!

This by far the best helmet I own. The fit was is spot on. The buckle design is so easy, one handed operation and secure. The visor is phenomenal! I'm not exaggerating when I say I've forgotten that I have it down... It provides full peripheral sight without distortion, is easy to open and chose with one hand, and locks open automatically. Removing the chin bar is simple and with it off you have more ventilation but the visor is still large enough to protect from bugs and debris. The cut outs in the padding allowed me to easily attach Bluetooth speakers and mic. The sun visor locks inside the helmet when retracted so no worries about it sliding down. I really can't say enough about this helmet. I've had it for two weeks and no longer wear my Bell or Hawk helmets, it releases them!

I just got my motorcycle license a little while ago, so I'm not the most experienced rider out there. However, though I have little experience on the road, I do know that I thuroughly enjoy my helmet. I love having the modular option, and the built in sun visor has come in so handy! It certainly has helped me save money on riding glasses. The large shield allows for a massive field of view. The helmet doesn't get in the way of my vision at all. The only negative that I've been able to think of so far is that the shield is so big that to an outsider, the rider looks a bit like a character out of Tron. If you're cool with that look though, then absolutely go for it!

OK for an inexpensive helmet.

Pros: its a nice looking helmet. It's modular. It's not cheaply made. The buckle system is nice. Basically flip a tab and the helmet comes off. The built in shade is nice. Its light.. very light.

Cons: theres only one big con to this helmet. It is LOUD. The way its made theres nothing whatsoever to keep wind from entering the bottom most of the way around your chin , jaws, neck so above about 40mph forget hearing anything. That wasnt really uncommon on old helmets but on put on a well designed helmet and then this one and you'll notice the difference Instantly. Overall id suggest unless you cant afford anything else dont buy this helmet but look around for something quieter.

it is very rare that i will post or comment on an item. i purchased this helmet after doing a lot research. i ride with a full face helmet and also a 3/4 helmet. i ride a Yamaha 950 tourer. i have had a lot of issues with the wind noise. i purchsed an aftermarket w/s and it helped. the 3/4 helmet still had an excessive amount of noise. i purchased a hawk full face it helped but my vision was restricted-- so now this helmet-- BEST PURCHASE I EVER MADE--reduced wind noise and gave the vision i needed-- the fit was so comfortable. the helmet is big-- but is very comfortable and light- i highly recomend this helmet--
