The ‘Kwik Wick’ moisture absorbing helmet liner with fully breathable and inflatable cheek pads, which are easily removed for washing, is effective in reducing fogging. With adjustable ventilation, and indexed rear and front vents, a vacuum is created and the airflow maximized throughout the helmet. Finally, a breath deflector helps to enhance fog-free performance of the helmet.
The air pressurized cheek cushions will allow you to pump up the helmet to ensure a good, even, tight fit. This helmet has an awful lot of features for the price. The drop down sun screen is useful on days when the sun can’t seem to make up its mind. The scorpion quick-change face shield system is as good as there is. You really can swap face shields in seconds. Air flow control via adjustable vents works well and eliminates fogging up, even on damp and rainy days. The Helmet Pump System for adjusting the helmet fit really works well.
The paint and finish of the helmet are classy. The integrated breather box and the chin flap helped eliminate fogging up.
