Nice looking bucket. But a few key questions: How many shell sizes are there? How easy does the liner come out for washing? Are there cutouts for speakers? Shame that as a an eyeglasses wearer, I’m paying for goggles I won’t be able to use. I feel like that’s a miss…. Goggles are a hugely personal choice.
Hi Andrew. Thank you for this review. Very interested in this helmet, as well as the Airoh Commander 2, which I know you've also reviewed. A few questions: (1) can you get a photochromatic lens for the Airoh (£?); (2) can you wear goggles on the Airoh without removing the visor, as you have done here with the Leatt? (3) is there no internal sun visor on the Leatt, (4) on the non full carbon versions, which is lighter - Leatt or Airoh? , and (5) does the Leatt have a "channel" inside that allows you to wear glasses without getting discomfort from the arms of the glasses pressing in to the side of your head? 👍🏼👍🏼.... Hope these are helpful questions which you're other subscribers will find useful 😊 Steve A 🏴
Hope my comment helps a bit 3) AFAIK Leatt don't have internal sun visor 4) looking at both website, i think Airoh have a bit of advantage with 1440±50g (Airoh) vs 1575±50g (Leatt) 5) i think most modern helmet usually have recess to make it glasses friendly
(1) At this time I do not believe you can get a photochromic lens for the Airoh. (2) Yes you can (3) Correct, no need for the extra weight etc since you have the photochromic one (4) Airoh is 1440, Leatt is 1525 so very similar. (5) There is a gap between lining section that should allow this but I hate saying 'it'll fit all glasses' because they all have different arm thickness etc. I don't see a problem but don't hold me to it! - Andrew
Couple of questions about this helmet are the goggles you say come with it photochromic too or just basic clear lenses? Also do you get a clear visor too or just the photochromic one? And does this deal with the goggles coning with it only appear on the top spec carbon version or do you get exactly the same goodies with the lower priced composite version of the helmet? Also while I think about it is there an extention to the nose deflector/breath gaurd in the box too or can you buy these seperate? Can you tell me what scott jacket you earing and trousers in this vid? Thanks for all your time.
See 01:53 in this video. Answers to all can be found there. Tinted on the 9.5 carbon, clear on the 8.5. You can upgrade the lens though to whatever finished you want. Yes you get a clear visor too. I am wearing the S ott Priority GTX jackt and trousers in this video. Review here: th-cam.com/video/cbJ6FVbYbvk/w-d-xo.html
None at all! I should have made a bigger point of that. The shape of the peak is very clever; when you look down from above you don't see gaps, the gaps are from the levels built into it for airflow. As a result you don't get the annoying cut outs as with most other ADV helmets and photochromic visor combos - Andrew
lol still not even close to Suomy MX tourer in terms of weight, and Suomy comes with a sun visor. Also, Soumy gives you a kit to take off the beak and turn it into a great road helmet. "New King" my ass 😂
It wouldn't need an integrated sun visor because the visor is photochromic. Double D ring is safer than micrometric closure. I've not seen micrometric on any 22.06 certified ADV helmets. - Andrew
@AdventureRiderMoto All the ppl I know, ride with the sun visor up sunglasses down, especially in the summer, so the photochromic even if it is nice, is kinda useless, and good luck hanging your helmet from the handlebar with the double D, not to mention that micrometric is faster and easier to use with gloves. The safety card is what mfg use to convince you, that the cheaper system is somehow better, my neck is weaker than any of those systems anyway.
Wow, that’s cool in so many ways and looks great too!

3 shell sizes, speaker cut outs, and cable routing channels
Hi there. 3 shell sizes, Liner just pops out easily for washing. Yes there are cut-outs for speakers. - Andrew
Looks pretty great, when is it available? All of the online retailers I find in the EU doesn't even have the model listed.
It will be available at Adventure Rider towards the end of Jan25. Make sure to follow us to keep updated! - Andrew

@@AdventureRiderMoto Thanks for getting back. Im going to ask for your personal opinion - Airoh or Leatt - and why?? 😋 I'm going to buy one of them!

Can you try to fit a comms system like cardo or others to see if there is enough space for the speakers?
Nice features on that lid. Would have considered for my next helmet if it had quick release instead of DD-ring chin strap.
From the other video I just watched on this helmet, the carbon version comes with a magnetic Fidlock strap closure.
There’s nothing better than DD. You just need to practice.
Excited for this helmet! How was the photochromic visor with the peak? Was their any patterning with the peak giving shade? Thank you for the reviews!

Great review. It will come down to if I can try it anywhere before I buy it when I gwt to replace my Arai X4.
We'll have the first stock in the UK end of Jan / early Feb. Store is in Fulham. - Andrew
What is the full model name? I dont see it in the description and dont want to search the video
compare kilm krios what your opinion?
I'll tell you in my next video. FYI there's a new Klim ADV helmet on they way! - Andrew
Is the goggles can be worn over the glasses?
I don't think they ave been designed this way but it will depend on the thickness of the arms of your glasses - Andrew
Great great great buy buy buy.
Anti UV ? Or do you get sunburnt in summer ?
Anti UV - Andrew
What is the helmet model number under review?
Chin curtain is mesh or windstop ? Removable?
Windstop edge, mesh middle, removable yes - Andrew
@AdventureRiderMoto so...forget winter rides with it
Champion Helmets does instrument measurement (temperature, noise) in their tests
I mention airflow, ventilation and noise are all top of their class in the video - Andrew
@ sure I heard…my comment was related to your sentence about noise and how can you measure such parameter
Is this the same helmet as Airoh? Both made on same Chinese factory?
No it's completely different to the Airoh - Andrew
Much better review & USP

You can take the beak off on this and have it as a road helmet. See 12:22 - Andrew
No integrated sun glasses, no micrometric closure, no way I'll buy it.

For me the missing sun visor is an advantage. It’s going to land on my list, near Arai Tour X-5 :-)
