My Biltwell Gringo helmet is the best lid I've ever owned in over 30 years on a motorbike. It looked too small inside for my head at first but it goes on no problem and is a super fit inside without exerting pressure on your face or skull. On the outside it looks small too - which is even better. Styling is bang on. Retro of course with options of wrap around, snap on visor or Bolle style goggles. If I'm honest I have to say the visor steams up in traffic if you don't have the flip up version (I don't, my choice) but I find my 1970's US Military goggles from an ex-army shop fit a treat and don't steam. Maybe the visor will be ok in summer? The coloured stripe design gives it a Californian '70's vibe recalling those halcyon biking days so if you like that era and have an old bike or retro classic and want a bit more protection than an open face offers look no further. Well done Biltwell, let's get back to 'biking with attitude' instead of cladding everyone in neon, nylon-clad astronaut wear!

Wow! Super fast delivery to Finland (4 business days) and the helmet is even more beautiful in nature! With Biltwell goggles this thing is just really badass!
