What is it ?
A fibreglass full face motorcycle helmet .
About . The German brand again Held has been very forthcoming with sending their stock out to be tested ! This one is the Masuda a full face helmet again with the fibreglass shell . The Masuda has a rather cool feature , especially if you find helmets hard to fit fully , this one inflates ! Yup , a squishy button at the front is pumped and you fill the cheek pads with air like a hamster . I got the Large sent but I think the stickers got mixed up as it fitted my 8 year old just fine ... no , I didn ’ t forget to let the air out before you comment haha . You get 3 vents , 2 on the chin and one of the top that do give good flow but it was so tight my ears looked like I ’ d been in the Rugby 7 tryouts . Anti scratch visor , pin lock ready and spring loaded sun visor makes the job complete in another good all round helmet from Held , just check those sizes !
