Pros & Cons
Pros
Mips is a game changer. I really appreciate the adaptability of a comms system like my cardo black. The visor is adjustable, which is nice.
The bell mx-9 is a great inexpensive option if you don’t want to shell out the big bucks. Best bang for the buck you can find. I wish it had a drop down survivor too, but all in all a great helmet.
The lining is super plush and comfortable. It proves to be a bit warm on longer rides, but cracking the shield every now and then helps dump the heat. It's very comfortable, and well ventilated.
Sizing chart is accurate. Bought size xl because have a bell moto 3 for comparison. I usually wear an xl mc helmet, but i'm a xxl in this one, so they may run a tad small.
The chin strap is pretty industry standard these days. It fits my oval head well. The cheek pads are a little tight, but i believe they will wear in. You definitely want it tighter than looser.
Cons
The mips system seems like a marketing gimmick more than anything. It makes the wearer look more like a bobble head. The chinstrap is fairly frayed. There is extreme wind noise inside the helmet at speeds over 40mph.
Highlights
Quality
The helmet shell is great, well finished.
Perfect fit, very comfortable, nice looking and quality made.
Airflow seems okay but the side vents on the actual sides of the helmet are fake and don't do anything.
I have a very loud exhaust and the helmet didn't have any strong resonances or droning sounds.
Price
For the money you can’t beat it.
00 on a helmet, i think this is a great bargain.
For twice the cost, i made the tough decision to send it back.
Overall, a great value for a helmet that will let you be seen.
Packaging/appearance
Looks like it’s caused by the way it’s stored in the box and resting on one side.
The helmet did come with both a clear and a tinted visor so that was super-cool!
I’m glad i did because after 4 months of riding it has definitely packed out a little bit.
Competitiveness
The arai and klim were the first to go, due to their overall fit and function along with the price tag.
I usually wear an xl mc helmet, but i'm a xxl in this one, so they may run a tad small compared to other helmets.
It is as good as my $800 mx helmets but with a useful windscreen.

I love the helmet fit quality but the medium size came with 40mm cheek pads that were tight and made it almost impossible to wear my prescription eyeglasses
