Just looking at getting one of these becasue im thinking of getting a KTM adventure. Thanks for the review mate. Might catch you on training again soon 😂 👍🏻
Great review thanks, just ordered the carbon one, loved my original commander…. Question, does the camera mount that you have on chin transfer straight across from your old commander or do I need buy new cam mount? Many thanks
@@TwoFourCharlie007 cheers. Yes the chin mount works on both the mk1 and mk2. I’m sure it only list one for the commander helmet on the chin mount website.
Had commander two for one season, done about 6k miles in it. They say the ventilation is improved compared to first generation, but in reality, it sucks a big time. You can't tell when the vents are open and when closed. No difference. The other thing that suck is not adjustable peak. It searing a bit high so no shade from sun at all. The third thing I don't like is tiny little button unlocking the visor. Really struggle with even summer gloves 👎🏻 Other than that I love it. It's light and comfortable for me, that's what counts in my book 👍 Please bear in mind - a comfort is very very personal thing. What fit one person, can be pain in the ars for the other
Just bought a 2 to go along side my two 1’s. Had the same issue sticking the mic in, so I’ll probably glue it. No issue with the visor pins. Very pleased with the updates to an already great helmet. Thank you👍
Cheers buddy We are happy with the new version of a very good helmet. The mic I use is the small Velcro backed one that comes with the Cardo so I might try the other one with the flexible arm and attach the GoPro mic to that see if that works. 🤙🏻
How's the coverage with the drop down sun visor on the 2? Looking for an ADV helmet that has one but I've noticed on quite a few helmets they don't drop down far enough and you have a large space underneath the visor where you get blasted with sun light. Kind of annoying and distracting.
I just bought one from your review. Seems a great helmet. One question I have. Did you use extra sticky pads to get your cardo mount to stay on. I have placed mine where yours is and it keeps falling off.
@@benjicollins1 I used the sticky pad supplied by Cardo but used a little heat first to help the glue and just pressed on it for ages until it was stuck. Hope that helps man 🤙🏻
@@benjicollins1 make sure you clean the area on the helmet before sticking, I used the missus hairdryer removed the cover from the sticky pad warmed that and a very gentle amount of heat on the helmet then applied lots of pressure until it was on 👍🏻
Wearing glasses sucks with this helmet. You really have to dick around to get the arms inside the lid the right way or the bloody things slide down your nose. I use a mic for my action cam, I have it stuck into the cheek pad but it can end up touching my face which also sucks. I've thought of drilling a hole where the picture of the mic is on the chin pad and poking the wire thru, guess what's the ONLY spare part you can't seem to buy if I eff it up? The chin pad. I like the tinted inner visor and the actuator. I really like the main visor. I've heard folk say this is a quiet helmet, I wouldn't wanna go too far without ear plugs.
I've just bought this helmet and I tell you what it's bloody noisy. With the main visor closed its terrible, the wind noise is shocking. The only way to use it was with the visor open and the sun visor down. I took the peak off and it was worse. A bit disappointing really.

Nice review! It’s a done deal for me. Saw in this video that you mentioned the cut out for the intercom speakers! Good job mate!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks 🤙🏻

@@SkintSNIPER262 the drop down visor comes down more than far enough. It’s not an issue at all
@@davewash50 Awesome. Thanks!
@@SkintSNIPER262 the sun visor is absolutely fine and with the new cable operation it doesn’t hit my nose like the old version did 😂
