Helmets Stream II Full Face Motorcycle Helmet W/ SunShield

At last, a helmet that I just love wearing! With a 58.5cm head, size Large is a perfect match for me. This helmet is simply amazing; the material quality far exceeds its price point. The comfort and interior design are comparable to my $325 challenger gt helmet. Plus, the removable pads can easily go in the washing machine, and the moisture-wicking interior keeps me dry, while air vents on the front and back ensure great airflow inside. I've been searching for a low-profile full-face helmet that provides safety and looks fantastic while cruising around town in a tank top. I can't stand heavy bobblehead helmets that come in one shell size for small to XXL. The LS2 Stream 2, however, offers three shell sizes, ensuring that you get the perfect fit for your body type without looking oversized. Fit is crucial when selecting a helmet, so remember to measure your head multiple times and carefully consider the size you need. For me, at 58.5cm, the Large size fits absolutely flawlessly. You know you've got the right fit when you can put the helmet on and pretend to chew gum without discomfort. If your molars touch your cheeks, then it's a good fit. The cheek pads will naturally mold to your face over time and can loosen up by up to 20%, so a snug fit is essential, but there should be no pressure or hot spots after wearing it for 15 minutes. The helmet comes with a thick 3mm face shield that is crystal clear and very sturdy. The built-in drop-down sun visor is fantastic; I used to wear sunglasses every time, but now I simply flip down the visor and close the shield.

I purchased this helmet after riding with a used Shoei helmet for a few months for comparison. My motorcycle is a cruiser and I've been using it with my windshield on, so can't speak on wind noise yet. I plan to remove the windshield once the weather is permanently warmer, so hopefully have an update on that soon. With a windshield, the noise reduction is good. I also installed bluetooth speakers, which probably helps. Pros: - I REALLY like that the inner visor seems to come down further than some other brands (see image) - weight is awesome for this price point, similar to my Shoei which is a much higher price point - quality construction: visor lock in the front/middle works well, visor hinges are solid and easy to remove/reinstall, micro adjust chinstrap is great, slider for inner visor is solid (although the placement means you almost have to use adhesive to install bluetooth?); see image for how I attached a bluetooth- maybe could have slipped behind the slider? - love the looks (bought white for summer riding- hopefully just a little cooler) - ventilation seems solid (either open or closed- one setting) - vents flow air decently (not sure you can "feel" a lot of air flow with any motorcycle helmet vents- similar to my Shoei) - dropdown visor is pretty good (I'd prefer darker, but seems like most are just the similar gray tinting) Not so much Cons, but things to consider: - sizing for my head said medium, I had to purchase XL cheek pads as the size that comes with Medium were unbearably tight - the XL cheek pads (again purchased separately- additional cost) are much better - the visor only has two "ratchet" positions- half and full open, so trying to vent just a bit for fogging works but is not a locked in position - probably similar with most helmets, but I installed a pinlock (additional cost) which works great until you put the dropdown visor down... which fogs up- and doesn't "unfog" for longer than the visor typically would at speed (small issue, but something to keep in mind) - I've tried to remove the chin curtain (included) and it doesn't want to come out. It's supposed to be removable, per the manual, but I've pulled hard enough that I was worried it would tear and it didn't budge. If I figure that out, I'll update with the noise report later. I'd probably get something without the additional dropdown visor if doing things over. It's just not dark enough for my taste and it fogs really easily- even in warmer weather when sitting. I'd prefer to just use sunglasses which do work with this helmet instead of putting down the inner visor. Not a deal breaker, just something to think about. Overall, I'd definitely recommend the LS2. It's comfortable (using a different size cheek pad) and all parts seem well built and designed.

BOY do I miss this brand!! I went with a cheaper helmet (LEM brand) four months ago and it was a terrible experience! It was falling apart, coming unglued, breaking, just a nightmare experience. I'm SO GLAD I spent the extra $50 to get my Stream 2. Stream just fits and is solid and built with quality. I won't go back to the cheap side.

This helmet is a beauty. It's a five-star product. Well made, built in sun visor, looks nice - but VERY tight. And I went up a size. I couldn't find any reviews that were written after the break-in period. I'm probably going to go with mfg suggestion that I have to wear it a week or so. I do that, I probably won't be able to exchange it. But going up two sizes doesn't make sense either. I'll revise after wearing it a few hours.

I mostly bought this due to the ECE 22.06 rating, weight, and most of my ridding is in the city. So for all that I feel it is a good helmet for the level of comfort and protection. There are the smallest black paint imperfections, yet honestly nobody will see them when I ride. Plus for the price is really is light weight and has some good noise reduction. I am one of those in-between medium and large sizes, I went with the medium size and it is breaking in to a good fit. I am used to D-Rings, yet the strap isn't hard at all to get use to. I really enjoy the minimal gloss white with a bit shimmer it has to it. Plus the LS2 logo is nothing too crazy. Vents are good and I ride without a chin curtain as most of my rides are around town. Still even without it I like the extra air flow. I wear glasses and they work just fine, even with the drop down sun visor. I do wish the sun visor would drop down a bit more, yet I would still rather just use my glasses.

I received this order super fast! Good quality, fitted just perfect. My husband absolutly loves it.

Negative; LOUD and fit was small. I ordered the size and circumference for every other helmet I've owned, and this is super tight around the eyebrow and cheeks. So loud I couldn't listen to music while riding. No ring for helmet lock on your bike. Had to carry it around. Ventilation was barely noticeable. Positive: Great color and finish. Visor worked well, sun visor was fine. Will be returning, and will consider other LS2 helmets maybe.

Great helmet of a quality you’d expect at 300 bucks, not 150. Visor is extremely clear, sun visor is also good, relatively breathable thanks to vents, liner feels surprisingly premium. ECE certification inspires confidence. Five stars!
