【LS2】EXPLORER F Helmet Review

Highly functional and comfortable, but looks quite big.

Replacement from arai rapaid neo
Size is XL as well as arai.
The arai had a little more room in the cheek area, so it's a little tight there, but the fit is improved and I have the impression that it's just right.

Glasses are no problem, but IncomeSpeaker is somehow OK if you put it as far down as possible because it hurts when it hits your ear if you put it in JUST the right position.
The volume had to be turned up considerably because it was not in the right position.

Is there ventilation? It is much cooler and more comfortable than the rapaid neo.

It is cosy, highly functional and comfortable, but it looks quite big and I would be happy if it were more compact. View detail

very good

This is a replacement from Tour cross.
The size is XL, the same as Tour cross.
I tried them on in an actual store when I was looking for them, but I bought them on webike with a discount.
Fit feeling is good.
There is no distortion of vision to be concerned about.
As others have mentioned, the chinstrap hits the throat.
I'm generally satisfied View detail

I wanted an AdventureType Helmet at a reasonable price.

Purchased the same size (XL) as my other Helmet, ARAI/AstroGX
By the way, OGK's Camry? Jet helmet by Yamaha/Zenith is also XL.

A summer companion

I also purchased a Helmet to go with my V-strom650 White.
The comparison is to a hand-held ARAIAstroIQ (OuterVisor added).


[Design]
The AXIS is strong with color transitions, three-dimensional shapes, and Sharp Lines, but not vulgar.
I think it will look great on AdventureMODEL.


[Fitting]
Compared to the AstroIQ, the cheek area is narrower.
Also, the interior near the ears is messy and tends to leave the ears bent inside the Helmet.
I am IN to press down on the earlobe, and Quantity of head in the middle of the:Pair (for Left and Right) I try to shake it out to
Cap for Helmet may be used.
It is not glasses-compatible, so it is quite large and strange when trying to insert glasses.
The interior feels like the AstroIQ wraps the entire head with a surface, whereas this is an Image supported by a fleshed-out surface.
It is likely that the inside also has a passage for air to pass through.
Is the chinstrap thicker than Astro's, or is it closer to the back Quantity:It is uncomfortable to be in a position where it is being set or it puts pressure on my throat. I would like to do something about this.


[Functional aspect]
Air Intake is relatively Large type, and the front of the parietal Quantities:Pair (for Left and Right) Parietal back, Quantity:Pair (for Left and Right) Quantity, Below Ear:Pair (for Left and Right) There are also a total of 7 Shutters around the mouth.
In addition, the lower cover around the chin can be detached, and when fully released, the air flow is pleasant even with the Shield down.
Visor can reduce direct sunlight, and together with Inner Visor, it is comfortable in a wide range of Situations.
The Shield is larger than a regular full face and boasts a field of vision comparable to that of a Jet helmet.
The lack of distortion and transparency are both high and perfect.
Inner Visor is Blue-based, so Blue sky correction is applied to the weather where you are going.
Even with the Shield open and Inner Visor only, it is stable on ordinary roads without getting scared by the wind.


[Which is better, the AstroIQ or the AstroIQ?
Aside from safety, I would choose this one for functionality.
Especially when driving at night, ARAI's Outer Shield is a little bit aerodynamic...
However, this LS2 guy is a pain to deal with the ears and glasses when wearing it, and the chinstrap puts pressure on the throat Neck.
If it weren't for that, I'd be fine with just this one for everyday use. It is also inexpensive. View detail

Cosy and good looking.

I bought this one as a stopgap measure, but it was better than I expected.
Designed by Spain and manufactured in China, it comes with PSC/SG and seems to be of good quality. However, the cushioning material is thicker, so it feels even bigger and heavier than SHOEI's GT-AIR.
Pros
The FRPHelmet is half the price of ARAISHOEI's, and even comes with a helmet bag.
○Ventilation good, aerodynamic and quiet.
○○The design is good down to the smallest detail.
Disadvantages
The cap is large and slightly heavy. The center of gravity is also high.
However, I don't mind that much.
○ ○ Narrow interior shape for Caucasian, so as a flat face family, you must choose 1SizeLarge tight and DIYFitting is a must.
○Design is so elaborate that it takes a lot of time and effort to change Shield.
The interior fabric is a bit cheap and flimsy.
[Fitting]
Attach Rough & Road or TNK's starfish-shaped Adjustment Sponge to the buffer material. Instead of using it as is, cut off the radiating part and use the round part for the top of the head and the foot part for the front/back and top of the head adjustment.
Cheek pad should be removed.
The point of fitting is not to put Sponge where it hits, but to put it where it floats so that it does not hit (attached image A).
Apply two layers if necessary.
Now we can paste Sponge in the gap between the front and back and adjust (attached image B).
Take hold of Chin guard and move it to rotate it up and down, if it is not loose, it is OK.
At first, you can use trial and error by temporarily fixing them with masti or other materials. View detail
