LS2 MX701 Explorer C Frontier Carbon Motorcross Helm

Tons and tons and tons of wind coming in from the side/back-side and on turns or if you move your head left/right you get chilly air around your ears (tested with vents open closed it doesnt matter it comes in from the back/side/back and you have to either tuck in your head or have a collar on your jacket but in the summer thats not ideal). It's like theres a big hole open on the sides of this helmet. Both the sun peak and the visor/shield vibrate like crazy at high speeds and the visor distorts and you can't see clearly. I had the previous MX436 Pioneer, and I thought this was an upgrade over that. The only thing they upgraded is using carbon, it's noisier, vents open or closed always blow in a ton of air and overall poor design. Never buying LS2 in my life again. Horrible helmet. Can't fit around your head, keeps moving like they made it for a ball and not for a person's head, the chin curtain is short and weird, and doesn't cover your chin as it should and allows a ton of air as well. 2/10

The helmet is well made and light, the visor is well designed to be effective and does not catch the wind. I was hesitant and optimistic about the internal sun shield as I like that feature, but was concerned about dust affecting it. That proved to be a problem as it became difficult to operate almost immediately after riding in dusty conditions. The main visor was a bit odd to learn to use the latch button at first, but became intuitive with use. The Pinlock is very nice to have. I did have to do some modifications to fit my Bluetooth speakers as the reliefs for them were far too shallow to house them properly. also, there is not much of a great location to mount the Bluetooth unit to the helmet and it had to be positioned quite far back.
