I just bought this and rode with it all weekend, and am very satisfied. I'm coming off of riding with a half, so my opinion may be different than some, but the noise from the wind was not really an issue for me(definitely not as loud as wearing a half). Within five minutes of riding with this helmet, I could no longer ever see myself wearing a half again. Cheers Simpson!

Bought this helmet yesterday, got it today, best decision I've made. I ride a Harley, so the wind noise I don't even hear nor does it bother me. It's 100+ out here in SoCal, so this helmet keeps me very comfortable, not to mention it's light. Now, it's nothing like a Shoei or Arai so if you own either, just keep it and look somewhere else unless you just want a helmet that looks this awesome.

I've always wanted a Simpson because they seem like a solid American manufacturer and because who doesn't want to look like The Stig? Their motorcycle helmets always lagged behind the major brands in features, but it looks like that has changed. The venting looks decent and it weighs in under the three pound mark (woah!). That's almost certainly the helmet I'll be buying for next season. Thanks RevZilla team!

actually Revzilla says to order a size smaller.... but that video is 3 years old. I called them in July of 2019 and was told that Simpson re worked their tooling on this model and the helmets fit more true to size now.... UPDATE, my head measures 57-1/2 CM. That is at the high end of medium on their chart. I ordered the Ghost Bandit in medium and it fits just about perfect. My head is an oval shape. I never thought I would be in a medium, always bought large in the past to avoid pressure points at the forehead etc. now that they make oval shaped helmets I realize my true size is a medium, at least in this case....

This helmet was such a disappointment. I got the most expensive carbon version and two months later I am getting something else. To anyone considering it, be aware that if you are used to other premium brands (agv, shoei, arai, etc) you will be extremely disappointed. The helmet looks cool, and is quite light, but that is about it. The noise is unbearable, as are the aerodynamics. It is literally only for low speed riding. The worst part is definitely the inferior quality compared to others in this price range. The visor does not seal properly, scratches extremely easily, the internals started to fall apart after a few uses, and what shocked me the most is when I realized that the EPS liner is made from segments which at some points were literally held together with tape. Finally, just so you know, even the most expensive carbon versions are made in China, which Simpson does not mention anywhere on their website. For the same price I am now looking at the Shoei X 14 (X spirit 3), which is on a completely different level in every single aspect.
