Solid, lightweight, comfortable, and plenty of features!
Coming from a much heavier helmet, I'm absolutely loving this one! It fits my bluetooth communication system perfectly, feels high quality and like it could take a serious impact, yet is still lightweight and aerodynamic. Switching from an 1850g bucket to this one has done wonders for my neck, especially since I normally mount about 350g of cameras to my chin as well!My last helmet used to whistle with vents open, or if the visor was even open a crack... this helmet is dead silent unless you open your visor over 35mph (which goes without saying). I've been really enjoying the light smoke internal sun visor, which works great paired with the gold/orange tinted visor I chose with my model. The effect is more blue saturation, and looks great during the day. It also isn't dark enough to require me to switch at night, but I often do anyway since it's been colder lately and I've been fogging up a bit. Again, completely normal.ILM was very responsive when it came to me asking them a few questions about the product, and went out of their way to get me information and answers in a timely manner. From what I can tell, they'd be easy to deal with if it ever came to a product/customer support question or issue. So far I haven't experienced anything that would make me think I would need support though... the visor is actually resisting scratches, I have a spare rear fin, a spare clear visor, and a great carrying bag to help keep it all organized and protected. They even send a bag just for your visor!The value for money of this helmet is fantastic. I literally swapped to it from a helmet that was 3x as expensive, and doesn't have as many creature comforts. Just the presence of a thick gasket around the visor makes such a huge difference when it comes to wind noise.Literally no complaints from me as of yet, but I'll keep this review updated if that ever changes. Love all the different colorways, and so happy with the one I ended up choosing. Definitely worth trying this line out if you're riding anything smaller than a 650... I rip a 300cc naked bike through the canyons and feel confident in this helmet, but might want something more if I had a 1000cc sportbike on highways!

Plightfully Pink and Cute
Fit my small noggin quite well. Cure pink was very vibrant. Glowed in the dark!!! Loved this helmet design so much and apparently someone else did too because it got stolen. Padding was snug until it formed to my head/face.

Beautiful
Fits well, seems sturdy and protective, looks amazing. It's a cheap Amazon helmet, so it probably won't compare to an agv or some of the other popular name brands. But it's comfortable and great for the price. I love the quick release strap. The colors are perfect and it's easy to find replacement visors. My only complaints are how bad it fogs up, but that can be fixed with a pinlock, and the wind noise but, it's only really bad with the visor up.

Awesome lid
Very well made and very comfortable to wear. The helmet construction is very well made and rivals more expensive helmets on the market. Design is awesome too. The helmet is very light weight and lots of vents. The airflow in the helmet is far better then most expensive helmets I’ve owned. Comes with 2 visors and interior drop down shade if you want the visor up. The visor I got was a clear and Chameleon visor, the chameleon visor are awesome, very clear with a hint of blue. I’m not sure but viewing through them was very similar to wearing my Oakley sunglasses that comes with polar and prizm lenses.The chin buckle has a quick release pull. The helmet comes with a Neoprene chin cover that helps from fogging and helps keeps cold air out durning the winter or cold days. It’s DOT rated. I have only been using it for a few weeks and I pray I do not go down with it. So for the overall safety of the helmet I can not confirm. But the price and value is well worth it. I’ve own different helmets from Arias, Shark, Icon, LS2, HJC, Bells and so far this helmet rivals all of them for half the price.

Cool Helmet
I measure right at 57cm and it's a bit tight getting my dome in there, but I figure the pads will break in after use. Once seated, the helmet sits snuggly and does not move.I have a modular helmet and the weight of this helmet is about the same. However this helmet is less cumbersome and bulky to wear and I have much easier head movement.There is considerable amount of wind noise at 40-60mph. It sounds consistent in intensity and haven't tested it at 70mph+ yet.Graphic quality is okay. I like the graphics, but the finish isn't the greatest. Expect minor blemishes (not noticeable until you really look at it). It isn't anything to get upset about.I haven't tried the pin lock system yet to switch to clear visor. If it's easy to use, I'll consider adding a star and updating the review.NOTE: If you're long bearded fella such as myself, the retention system can pull on your facial hair.Pros-Size chart is correct-Comfortable once seated in place-Cool graphic/design-Not cumbersome to wear and feels lightweightCons that made helmet lose a star:-Considerable wind noise at low speeds-low quality finish-sun visor touches my noseGiven it's deficiencies, I still gave it 4 stars because the price is on-point for it's pros.Update - 8/23/2021:Rode over 1500 miles with the helmet and the cheek pads broke in.The wind noise is progressively worse at higher speeds 70+ mph. Consider hearing protection if you plan to ride on the interstates. This comes from experience riding from New Orleans to El Paso.I was able to change out the visor without problem, easy system. I also shaved my beard (for wearing N95 mask-not because of the helmet) which allowed me to readjust the helmet and the sun visor no longer touches my nose.
