A new flip-up helmet from the Givi range. Safety and comfort are to be expected here and you get just about all the options at a very competitive price.
There are two helmet thermoplastic shells that accommodates all helmet sizes. A closable top ventilation and a closable chin ventilation guarantee sufficient air circulation. Both vents can be opened or closed easily even with gloves on. In the middle of the back there is a double wind outlet. The total weight of this helmet is about 1600 grams.
A scratch-resistant, transparent visor can be quickly exchanged by means of a Microlock system (two loops just below the hinge point). The helmet is also equipped with a tinted sun visor. The sun visor is operated by means of a sliding system on the left side of the helmet shell. It can be operated easily even when wearing gloves. The same goes for the lever on the chin guard, after which this can be flipped up easily. The installation of a Pinlock is foreseen and the pinlock lens is immediately delivered.
A length-adjustable micrometric fastener keeps the helmet perfectly in place. The soft chin strap and an extra 'chin curtain' increase wearing comfort. A side and neck rim increase sound insulation and reduce the risk of whiplash. The lining - easy to remove, breathable and washable - of this helmet is laser cut and hypoallergenic. To prevent the visor from fogging up, the helmet is equipped with a breath deflector.
No kit of reflective stickers is included in the box. The application of these stickers is mandatory in France. Reflective helmet stickers can be found here.
Some maintenance tips: The helmet interior can also be cleaned without removing it, with S100 interior cleaner. The exterior of the helmet is best cleaned with S100 helmet and visor cleaner. New visors have received a water-repellent treatment. This treatment is less effective after some time. Restore the water-repellent effect with Rain-X water-repellent spray. Safety above all!
Never ride with a scratched or dull visor. Especially at night, scratches cause blinding reflections from street lights and oncoming headlights. This effect is even more pronounced in rainy weather. It is best to replace a worn visor as soon as possible. Planning a long trip? Then don't forget to take a replacement visor with you. Never ride in the dark with a tinted visor.
