Really good helmet!
The 180° flip back modular feature is great, it fits very comfortable, way better than the similar concept shark brand (I tried that one also)
I didn't like the color and the exterior it's too round and big like "the Atom Ant" helmet, so i return it.
Like the fit of the padding. It is on the heavy side that get some use to it. Very good quality and visibility color contrast. I like the fact you can use it as a half helmet at low speeds

Description
The LS2 Helmets Valiant features the most stable "modular to open face" conversion mechanism in the world. As much as 20% smaller than competitive models, the Valiant is lighter, more stable and more aerodynamic. Our lightweight, aerodynamic shell is made from LS2's proprietary Kinetic Polymer Alloy (KPA) - 2 shell sizes to allow for a perfect fit and the smallest shell possible. A full metal latch assures the chin bar will stay locked when closed, and an LS2 exclusive design keeps the chin bar securely in place at the back of the helmet when it is in the open position. The UV and scratch resistant shield is optically correct and uses LS2's FogFighter fog resistant treatment for the maximum in fog protection. The Valiant uses our Twin Shield System drop down sun shield. Its cable-operated switch is smooth, and easy to use even with a gloved hand. The removable, washable comfort padding uses breathable technical fabric, which is "Thermo-Formed." This eliminates the need for a layer of glue between the foam and the liner material, and allows for the ultimate in breathability. Our cheek pads use ultra-high quality foam that is cut to shape using LS2's 3D laser technology for all day comfort and no hot spots. Fully adjustable, flow through ventilation keeps you cool and more in control when the weather gets rough. A DOT approved quick release chinstrap makes it a breeze to get the helmet off and on your head. Our designers at our world headquarters in Barcelona, Spain interviewed touring riders, adventure riders and commuters, and then set out to design the ultimate in a modular style motorcycle helmet. Built in our own factory for the best value on the market. More helmet for less cash. LS2. Long oval fit. Meets or exceeds DOT standards.
I struggled to find a helmet to fit my smallish oval shaped head. This fits me so well! This is a true intermediate oval, not just oval (slightly bigger). It stays firmly in place. Many others wobbled. If you have a round shaped head, this is not the helmet for you. There is a break in period. So, it is very tight for awhile, and yes, there is some pressure on the jaw. Currently, still in the breaking in process, but it gets better every time. I use a silk scarf to cover my hair and half my forehead. I find that it gives a bit more comfort on my forehead and I don’t have a huge red line from pressure where the helmet comes down on my forehead.
My only complaint is that the sunglasses are a bit out of place with my nose. They don’t hit it and make it uncomfortable but when I look at myself I can see they’re not aligned. I also don’t think they’re polarized. I do love the clear faceshield. It’s also detachable! And you can replace it with the peak that comes with it. All in all it’s been a great purchase! It was a great price too!
I love the solid build quality, the helmet finish, the unique design, the quick release micro buckle, the built in tinted shield, the full face visor, and the simplistic yet effective ventilation system. The only big negative is if you wear ear buds, the chin straps attach inside the helmet all the way up near the ears and they interfere with the music as you move or shift. I’ve used many helmets over the years and have never had this issue before. Correct this single design flaw and the helmet is perfect. I sadly returned due to this issue.
I like the helmet, it seems well built, has thick padding, the shield comes down just past my chin, I like having the separate sun visor, the helmet looks great. The one problem, as mentioned in many of these reviews, is the sizing. My head measures about 23 inches. I'm a medium oval I think. According to their sizing chart I should be a large. I ordered an XL, the XL was too tight, especially around my jaw area. My face was squeezed and with the chin strap secured, was too tight also. I sent it back and re-ordered an XXL. The return was very easy, Kohls now handles Amazon returns. The XXL fits fine. So.. two sizes up from what the chart said.
I normally wear a small helmet but based on what people said about sizing, and my head measurement being between small and medium per the chart, I took a risk and ordered a medium. PERFECT fit. This helmet is long oval which explains why some felt it was narrow. The navy is more of a blue/purple mix. It's quite colourful and I love that. It's easy to buy a boring black helmet. It's hard to buy anything not all pink, but still feminine. I haven't gone for a ride with it yet, but am very much looking forward to doing so. :)
It looks well made and the padding is comfy. Small fits perfect from sizing chart. Mechanics work well as new. Since it's winter in Canada I can't see how the noise level is in it. Looking forward to using it.
