I get into why you should check out the Simpson Venom or in the US ghost bandit is a great full face helmet option, check out my in depth review on this badass lid!
regarding the interior visor, you have the option to change that out too. if you want the dark outer visor, you can swap the dark interior visor with a clear one
Just bought one of these to replace my old skool bandit based on this review. Appreciate the detail bro 👌🏽 you’re dead right about the narrow aperture and lack of peripheral vision on the older American bandits…it’s a real problem for shoulder checks as you have to really crane your neck around to see your blind spots 😂 figured it was time I got a fully approved and legal lid, but didn’t want to sacrifice the very cool aesthetic of a Simpson helmet 👍🏼 and stickers (and Dickies) are life 100% 😂👌🏽
Thanks, great video. I tried a Simpson Darksome size large. It was a nice fit side to side, but forward and back I could take it off with the chin strap as tight as possible. My head is 23 inch, 58.42 cm which puts me at a large apparently. I will try this venom in medium. If too tight I'll have to try a different brand. Possibly the Bell SRT modular.
I've not got any experience with the darksome, I hope you get on well with the venom. Let me know how you find it, thanks for watching the video mate ⚡🤙🏾
Try and make sure whoever you buy from a company that accepts return's, I'd probably go for the larger as there is nothing worse than a helmet that's too tight.
@@esr243 I have not heard of being able to change the cheek pads out, they come out easily but I'd just aim to order the closest helmet for your head size. I always order my gear online, just make sure the company offers returns on helmet's.
How is this helmet in the rain or cold weather? Is it a good winter choice for the UK? I commute about 10-15 min every morning at 6am and I'm looking for a full face helmet for this winter.
It's pretty reasonable for the winter considering that's the main month's I actually use the helmet, with the pinlock inserted I think you will be pretty happy, plus the comfort of the helmet is Great.
Could you please help me with the sizing? What size should I get if my head circumference is 56.5 cm? ... According to the size chart, I should order a size M, but some Simpson Venom Helmet reviews suggest ordering a size down.
