Hi Guys

Well had a few interesting days but meant I finally got to use my new matt helmet

Rode Saturday (full of the dreaded man flu!), Monday and today (test)

Im really impressed with the Acerbis helmet, felt comfortable for a full day riding, light and seemed to breath well. Mentioned I was full of cold Saturday but the visor kept clear, something I always struggle with as I seem to breath heavy (to many pies!)...

Plus points for me are the ratchet chin strap, so easy to use and adjust, and really comfortable.

The drop down 2nd visor.(Re-named the Top Gun visor ) Great to use! and takes the pain away of swopping glasses for me.

It also looks great!

One thing I hadn't anticipated, which seems obvious now... When riding around 60mph you get a lot of wind resistance from the Peak! Having never ridden a helmet with a peak it came as a suprise and did make mirror checks interesting... Easy enough to combat by slightly dipping your head but worth taking into consideration.

Hope this helps... If Ive missed anthing just give me a shout...

Bit of a giddy kid as I passed today

Cheers

Matt

Hi Paul

Road noise seems fine to me... but then again its only the second helmet I've used... at 60 it was fine. As I was on lessons/test I never touched those speeds so couldn't say - should be out on my own after weekend - got a bike but needs putting back together - mostly done will report more after

Cheers

Matt
