![X-ROAD COMBAT [X/Road Compact] Graphic Helmet](https://img.webike-cdn.net/catalogue/images/76723/xrc-std-blue_TS.jpg)
Stylish and Reasonable
The price is low for an off-road type helmet with a shield, and the quality is quite good.
The exterior design is uniquely unique and cool, and the overall quality is high, including the interior.
Fit is good once on, although the opening is a little narrow and tight when putting on and taking off.
On the other hand, the Shield is poorly made. The Chin guard part of the helmet is pointed, and the Shield itself is also pointed, and the Shield is also curved to match the shape of the tip of the Shield, The Shield cannot be used in the middle position, and can only be fully opened or fully closed.
In the city with a lot of Go & Stop, at low speeds, and on forest roads, I want to get ventilation, so I open it all the way, but if I try to use the Inner Visor to protect my eyes as well, this is very dense. [Color] Smoke, and I can only use it under the hot sun in the middle of summer. I have tried to use Inner Visor of Option "Rainbow mirror", but it is troublesome to switch between Shield and Inner Visor, and it is very confusing.
Goggles can be used, but there are very few types of Goggles that can be used, and at the moment, I use neither Inner Visor nor Goggles, and I always use Clear work Glasses in combination in case I need to open the Shield fully.
Ventilation is included, but I don't think it is very effective, and the helmet itself is a bit heavy.
For those who value Parenthesis quality and don't care much about features...?

Comparison with SHOEI VFX-WR
Purchased for Income use, city driving, and touring
FRP is light enough even if not as light as Carbon
MudguardVisor's wider slit makes it less susceptible to wind.
It is hard to put on and take off with gloves on because the chinstrap is not firm and the Snap button, which fastens at the end after the D Ring is put through, is not very uneven. (I wonder if I'll ever get used to it.)
The VFX-WR has a shallower cap, so the hold and sense of security are superior to the VFX-WR. (but don't worry about gapping if it's the right Size)
I think this is a good value for the price and quality, so it could be a good candidate for first-time Off-Road Helmet buyers or those who intend to install Income.

Japanese people head …
Looking for AdventureMODEL to fit CROSS CUB…
I notice that the familiar Arai and SHOEI are now out of reach!
I couldn't wait to see when Kabuto's highly anticipated AdventureMODEL would go on sale, and I chose LS2 for its design and coloring compared to HJC, which is more affordable.
I was wondering about the tightness of the Cheek Pad and the smell of solvent in the interior. I wondered how it would be, but I got used to it. [Color] Clear, the cap is a little too large, but the color is very nice and I am proud to say that it is the best match for CROSS CUB.

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.

Design is good
I had been using SHOEI's HORNET-ADV, but it was getting old, so I considered replacing it and decided on this one based on design, features and price.
I had been using Size XL, so I bought XSize XL just to be safe based on other people's Impression, but it is still a little short in width for me, just like other foreign-made helmets.
Also, The interior is designed to make it easier to hang Glasses." I could not hang Glasses as it is in my case, though it may depend on the shape of the vine of Glasses.

I got a good deal.
The support from the Japan distributor is reassuring.
First of all, I personally think that the appearance of Parenthesis is very nice.
I was looking for an AdventureHelmet with Shield for rain and winter touring. I was very worried about HORNETadv because I use SHOEI both on and off duty. However, I decided to purchase this product because of the price, since my use was limited to rain and winter. I had owned a foreign-made helmet of this type in the past, but it was a type that fogged up and the chinstrap cover was not detachable, so I stopped wearing it.
Although it is a subjective opinion, the comfort of wearing a helmet is naturally not as good as SHOEI's. If you use this for overnight touring, you will probably get tired of it. Also, I personally feel that the chinstrap is a little uncomfortable around the throat area because it is too tight. By the way, SHOEI is a L size, and I chose a L size here as well.
Income will be added, but only if the Speaker is a model with a low profile Option. The low profile and Limit ears are enough to help.
The price was less than half of SHOEI's price, so I think it is a good Helmet if you get along with it well. I wash the interior a lot, so we'll see how long it lasts.

multifunction
It is cosmetic, considering that it will be replaced in a few years.
I appreciate the multifunctional, Off-like Taste because it gives me more options.

Difficult to paint
The arai and shoei are L Size, but since they are made overseas, I chose XL with 1 Size up.
The cheeks are tight, but the front and top of the head are roomy.
If the Cheek pad is worn out, the L Size will be fine, but since the ear area is narrow, the Income Speaker must be thin.
Compared to the FOR JAPAN MODELManufacturer, the price is more affordable, the cost is higher, and the design is more to my liking, but the painting is not so good, and there is a lot of garbage sticking to the paint surface and paint chipping.
In particular, the chipped paint on the frontal Logo was a Level that was rejected during inspection.
Minus the fact that the SIDEBench and Sun visor lever are in the perfect position for mounting the Income, so you have to move it forward or backward to get it to fit.

Choose your size carefully
I can't complain about the features and design.
It comes with two Helmet Bags and a maintenance bag.
It also comes with a pedestal.
It even comes with a Pin Lock Seat!
Ventilation is also set in detail.
I can put the Air where I want it.
Lighter than expected for its large size, and no neck fatigue.
The fit is excellent and the construction of each part is solid.
However, the reason for the low overall satisfaction is its large size.
I've been using an XL in the domestic market, so I decided to go with an XXL just in case.
It's pretty tight and not wide enough.
No space to install Income, no space to install Speaker.
Even though it's an Adventure model, you can't use it while listening to Navigation or music.
Minus rating.

Parenthesis is good, but...
The texture and functionality are good, but it's very small.
I wear it with a Shoei Helmet XL, but the entry is too small anyway.
It does go in, but I thought my ears were going to tear off when I put it in.
When I wore it, it didn't hurt my temples or anything, but my cheeks were chapped.
The mouth is quite roomy and comfortable.
But anyway, the entrance is narrow.
So I went with Minus2.
The design is good for parenthesis and the atmosphere changes depending on the visor, but the mouth of the head is good.
Personal Thoughts.
