My Likes and Dislikes
Personally, I value a good fit and comfort in a helmet, so I like that the Street & Steel helmet provides them.. However, I am concerned about the lack of ventilation, as I tend to get hot easily.
I also had an issue with the drop-down visor hitting my glasses. Overall, it seems like a decent option for shorter rides or as a backup helmet. Still, I would probably opt for something like the Gmax HH-65 with better ventilation and a visor that doesn’t interfere with my glasses if I were using it regularly.
