The LS2 Spitfire is LS2’s take on a classic bobber-style, open face helmet.
They’ve tried to make a helmet that’s compact, so it doesn’t look big on the head, and is lightweight. They’ve also fitted it with a goggles loop at the back in case you want to wear it with goggles, and they’ve added a pull-down sun visor to give you some in-built eye protection and protection against the sun.
That’s all offered at a nice low price point, making it suitable for cost-conscious riders who might want to use it as a second helmet or who’re maybe commuting and want a budget lid.
Obviously, if you’re wanting the best protection, you should go for a full face or one of the best performing modular helmets.
But if you’re looking to buy a regular open face helmet, then here’s what the LS2 Spitfire offers and what owners think of theirs.
Open face helmet
Thermoplastic ABS shell
Integrated pull-down sun visor
Micrometric fastener
Goggles loop
DOT and ECE versions
Medium oval fitment
Sizes XS-XXL
Not only does the LS2 Spitfire look the part, but with its integral drop down sun visor and light weight, it’s really liked by the vast majority of folk who’ve bought one.
There’s a question mark over the kind of protection it’ll give – yes because it’s a 3/4 helmet, but also because it’s not Snell certified and because LS2 helmets have tended to score average ratings in the UK’s SHARP tests over the years.
But if you want a reasonably low profile, unfussy, and easy to use open face helmet and like the idea of having a sun visor when you need it, then the LS2 might well be a great helmet for you. Plus, it’s good value too which is always a big thumbs up!
