Premier Helmets

Being the proud owner of several top-end Arai and AGV Moto-GP replica helmets over the years, this was my first try at something more classic / retro.. I'm certainly not disappointed!.. both fit and quality are spot-on, plus the comfort and noise levels whilst riding are very good. I've visited their shop before but bought this online and happy to report it's an excellent, reliable service. Definitely using Sportsbikeshop again!

I can remember Pier Franchesco Chilli using Premier helmets in WSBK 28 years ago and I wanted an adventure helmet with a flip front so decided to go for the X Trail. This is a very good looking helmet when it comes out of the box.The finish is nice except for a piece of grit under the black graffic on the peak. I had a HJC RPHA 90S Behavo before this and the Premier is just as comfortable. The chin draft excluder is soft and a nice touch. The bad points are. The anti fog visor fogs up at 12'c. I have not fitted the pinlock yet but point is visor is meant to be anti fog. The drop down sunglasses need to drop 5mm lower. It is on heavy side at 1870g. My flip front HJC RPHA 90S is 1583g. The lining tends to come out slightly when taken off your head, which is a very poor design. You need to carry a 5mm allen key to remove the peak/visor. But the worst point for me is that the vents on top of this helmet simply do nothing whatsoever when open. I could feel a draft over top of my head with the HJC. So this is why I have only given it an average score. I ride 12000 a year so it is on my head a lot. If you only do 2000 miles a year of short journeys then a lot of these issues will not affect you.

Great fit, looks fab, nice retro helmet. Good visor, low noise for an open face. Just right for a summer ride round the country lanes or coast pose. Only had it a few weeks so its quality is still to be see but from first impressions looks good.

Wife needed a new helmet. So looked at the usual top brands and stumbled over this.

You seem to get drawn to the name brands for quality. I've always had Arai. Upon opening this Premier helmet I was so surprised if the quality for the money.

Comes with pinlock in the box and set up to add your speakers and mic. Smooth opening and closing quite vented and the interior is on par with other more expensive helmets. The peak is good with no pulling when riding even at motorway speeds and even easier to remove the internals to wash.

All helmets do the same thing, some better than others however, I got taught comfort it everything and my wife loves this crash helmet.

I'm due a new one and was looking at the new C5 E2 however, now looking at Premier, so for the cost of the Sena that goes into the C5 you can have a very well put together helmet.
