Today the famous brown box arrived at the office
So I opened it up to discover another box
Which I opened to discover a bag
Which I opened to discover this!
Backside
Then I went outside to play with it and discovered this!!!!
Ok, time for review.
GMax 68S Helmet
I ordered platinum which online looked more like the silver on my bike. It's obviously a lot darker but still a nice color. Flat, no gloss.
I also paid the additional $25 for the incorporated sun visor so I don't have to keep switching between glasses and sunglasses. When it's up it is in the airstream, so I expect noise when not down.
I assumed the LEDs on back were wind-driven like I've seen but they aren't. There is a button on the back you push to activate. 1-push = always on; 2=blinking; 3 = hyper blink; 4 = off. The LEDs are very bright and nicely angled. When in the normal, i.e. non-I'm blowing by you at 186mph, riding position they are pointing straight backwards, not up to the sky.
I'm a size XL and the fit is perfect. I also have a Shoei RF-1000 that fits perfect and this matches that fit.
The interior build quality is less than what I'm used to wearing, but seems like it'll do the job. You can see the foam just over the ear opening.
It has a total of 6 vents that can be opened/closed so I expect good airflow.
I can't road test it yet but I suspect all these vents are going to be a bit noisy. Looks like Sunday I'll be able to ride again and I'll update.
