Good Lid let down

I've owned Suomy Vandal lid for over 3 years, I believe it was one of the first to come to the UK. It's supremely comfortable and the cheek pads do come

AGV K3 Review

I am a pillion and sit on the back of a Triumph Speed Four. The AGV K3 is an awesome lid, sits perfectly on the head as there is a lot of padding.

 Dragon Helmet Designs

AGV Dragon Helmet Review

The AGV Dragon Helmet

This motorcycle helmet is designed more for moped and cruiser riding (slower speeds than full face helmets). It is an open face helmet that has a large visor that covers the top part of your face.

If you're going to use this on the highway, I would definitely recommend getting some goggles to go with this helmet.

AGV Dragon HelmetYou get 2 visors in the package, one is clear and the other is tinted. This is great except you have to remove one to fit the other and it takes a bit of time to change the visors over.

Riders with larger heads might not like the AGV Dragon as it may look like you are wearing a beach ball! A flip front helmet might be more suitable.

The design is based on a helicopter pilot/fighter pilot helmet (seen Top Gun? You now what I mean!). It's available in various graphic finishes but I think the army graphics are the best!

Personally I think the AGV Dragon is a good helmet around town but for anything over 40 mph you will probably want a motorcycle helmet with more parts that cover your face.

Safety Ratings

UK Government SHARP Rating - Currently only tested for US use.

United States Department Of Transport (DOT) - Approved


Visor

Because this helmet is an Open Face, you won't get any fogging problems. Goggles are needed for the motorway.


Comfort

Fairly comfortable, but could do with some extra padding.


Around Town

This is the perfect motorcycle helmet for city riding. You can see all around very quickly and if you're making quick stop offs all the time you don't need to keep removing the helmet. When you do want to take it off, the quick release strap is quick and simple to use.

High Speed

Don't bother, anything over 60 mph and you won't be able to keep your head still! Ear plugs are a definite must.

Ventilation

No ventilation but it's an open face, so there's not as much need for it. Although on hot days you may find the lack of ventilation makes the top of your head sweat a bit.

Straps/Fastening

Quick release buckle. Very easy to use, takes seconds to get the helmet on and off.
