VEGAHelmets Magna Open Face Motorcycle Helmet with Sunshield Unisex-Adult powersports (Candy Red, SM) -9000-272

I have a difficult shape head but the XXXL fit me just fine! The liner is comfortable and the drop down shade covers just enough to provide additional sun protection. My only gripe with the helmet is the amount of wind noise. The visor has a lip to make the air flow smoother but I think the most noise comes from the sides where the visor pivots. The helmet's edge is rather prominent in relation to the visor so I think that is what is making most of the wind noise. As I wear ear plugs when riding, it is fine but noticeable nonetheless. The material used for the helmet is a step up from the bargain helmets and the fittings/trim feel high quality especially for the price.

I'm sure I'll have to get used to the way it fits and the chin strap But.... on our old bike we fought the wind with due wraps and Goggles. I put this helmet on and headed to the hwy. No wind noise, no wind in my face, easy to breath, the view is perfect. When the sun hit my eyes I flipped the sun shield down and rode on. Not only do I recommend this helmet but I recommend everyone to ride with a helmet, so much nicer ride and much safer. Good company and seller. The pearl white color is awesome.

I have worn a similar style Vega helmet for the past six years, and I purchased this one as a "just like what I had" replacement. In fact, it's a significant upgrade from my older helmet, and I like it a lot--with one large and one small complaint.Positives: Very comfortable. Very good fit and finish. Good quality materials. Visor mechanism works very smoothly. I like the quick connect/disconnect strap. Very reasonable price for what you get. There are a lot of "very" adjectives here--I quite like this helmet.Big Negative: This helmet is NOISY. Lots and lots of wind noise starting around 30 mph. I ride in urban/suburban traffic and normally don't get much faster than that, but I went up to 50, and the wind noise was starting to get painful. Angling my head to change how air flows over the helmet did not seem to make much of a difference.Small negative: The built-in sun visor works smoothly, has an easy to use control, and cuts glare a good amount. However, for me, the visor is about 1/2" too short, so it ends within my field of vision--meaning that there's a bright stripe at the bottom of my sight, even with it down. So close... but not quite perfect.

It looks very nice once you wear it. It’s super confusing inside. I love the shape !

When I first saw the interior design of this helmet, I was worried that it was going to squeeze my face in and make things tight, restrictive, and overall uncomfortable; but to my surprise, all of these fears & concerns were allayed -- this is a VERY comfortable and yet still snugly-fitting helmet... and yeah, it looks awesome for something in its price range.HOWEVER... for all of the "positives" I could lay at this helmet's feet, there are several issues that I have with it which may influence whether or not readers of this review might wish to consider continuing to browse around for an alternative elsewhere.I cannot really say which of these issues of concern are [quote] "First and Foremost" [unquote] on my list, because from my personal perspective they are all equally problematic -- but I'll begin with the one that appears to be the largest elephant in the room for the majority of other reviewers: the "glare-reduction interior visor"...As seems to be the common consensus among other reviewers, the designers of this helmet seemed to have understood the importance of incorporating a sun shield into their helmet, especially considering the fact that most helmets make wearing an independent set of sunshades underneath a motorcycle helmet a very uncomfortable experience that many riders may simply choose to forego altogether... but at the same time they did not seem to spend any time understanding the importance of having such a shield that extends far enough downward that the rider is not essentially required to ride with his/her head constantly tilted in a forward direction to where they practically have to view the road ahead of them from the top of their eyelids. It also doesn't help that the raising/lowering tab for this visor is difficult to locate and operate.Another issue which is also showing up as a common complaint is the extremely loud and annoying "whistling" that occurs whenever you decide to lift the main face shield and allow some cooling air to rush over you... not that this will be a problem for you to have to deal with for very long anyway, because once you've been traveling up to speed for any decent amount of time, the visor is so loosely set that any wind you generate WILL soon enough slam the shield back down in front of your face ~ Wash/Rinse/Repeat!And this leads directly to my next issue: this face shield *LOVES* to come detached from its housing... often at inopportune moments! I've had face shield detachment issues with other 3/4-face helmets in the past, but this one is HYPER-sensitive in this regard!So this one is a toss-up -- if you're looking at this from strictly a budgetary standpoint and you think you can tolerate these annoyances... well, just take my review for what you think may be valuable in helping you make that decision: I cannot put forth a "recommendation" one way or the other.

Very comfortable, even on long rides. I have a modular helmet, but the open face provides much better field of view and ventilation. The flip-down sunscreen works very well and comes in handy since I don't like wearing sunglasses when I ride. The logo on the front is rather big and annoying, but a black sharpie should take care of that :) As good or better than helmets costing two/three times the price. Highly recommend.

I use an XXXL and this helmet fits with a lot of comfort. Feels well made and has snap- in-pads for replacement in the future or cleaning.

I had previously owned a Vega helmet and it needed an upgrade. This comes with a sun visor, its nice but doesn't do a whole lot against glare. Wearing the helmet is noisy. The wind deflection is great and the easy clip on/off is super good. Opening the vents, I don't feel much - but normally don't feel much anyways.I have an expensive Shoei helmet that is very heavy and tight. This is a great helmet for zipping around town, its light and easy on off. Overall very comfortable even though it really doesn't have much padding. I like it.
