LS2 Helmets Valiant II Modular Helmet

I have searched for years for the one perfect helmet and I think I have found it with the Valiant II. As you can see from the picture I have many other helmets and a few of them are okay, but not as likable as this one including my $700 Shoei RF-1400. Yes the Shoei is better constructed but then it also costs three times as much, and yes it has less noise but if your riding a motorcycle and don't want noise you should be questioning your choices. I have had Shoei, HJC, Sena, Sedicii plus another of others I've the years and I am by far loving the Valiant II the most. I just went out for my first ride with it, and it is December 9th and 32 degrees outside with the standing windchill, so riding it is much colder. Here are the things I really like about the helmet.1. Comes with both a clear and smoke shield2. The drop down sun visor is fantastic and appears to be polarized. I have NEVER.seen this before.3. There is near zero wind buffering when riding at any speed. Even with the face shield up there is a little more but still nominal.4. The 180 degree conversion is 🔥5. It is set up to add a comms unit if you want.6. It is lighter than most helmets including my Shoei.7. It is still very well constructed, I feel safe with it.8. It is within a price point for most riders to avoid. It is inexpensive not cheaply made. They obviously focused on the ride experience.9. Even with the helmet closed you have full field of vision.10. The drop down sun visor is about a third larger than any I have ever used before which is going to cause less buffering and protect your face better from bugs and rocks.This is the longest review I have ever written. I have taken the time to do that because I am so impressed with this product that I want you to feel comfortable purchasing it without testing it first. This will probably be the only helmet I use in the future.One thing to note is my typical helmet size is XL. These appear to run a little small, and while I am sure an XL would work, for me my head is on the higher size of XL bordering XXL. What I am saying is that if your head is between sizes you should purchase the larger size; in my case XXL. This way you are going to be more comfortable.Regardless of how much you ride; I ride about 20K miles per year. This helmet will take you through all four seasons, and all of the elements. I can't wait for hot weather to see how the well the ventilation works. If I remember I will update my findings on this review.Sell all your helmets and buy this one. You won't regret it.

Came with the side un glued. I've had to adjust it and try to make it work ever. Single. Time I take it off and put it back on. I'm really upset I wasted my money and nothing was done to correct this defect

Very nice looking quality helmet but the sizing is way off. Smallest 3X I have ever seen. I returned the helmet. Felt a little heavier then I expected also.

First, the sizes run a hair small, so order up if your anywhere near the high side measurement of a size.The chin bar flipping ask the way back is great and the built in tinted shade is also nice.The cheek pads seem to be a hair tighter than the rest of the helmet, but not terrible and they break in after a bit

I ride a Harley with little wind protection, helmet fits great, functions wonderfully. Only reason not 5 star is helmet is loud, allowing high amount of wind noise.
