MHR has been a Chinese helmet brand, but imported by Malaysian agent. Some of the earlier LS2 models were actually spinned off from existing MHR models not available in Malaysia. That time, flagship LS2 fullface helmets were sold at RM200 each. Initially, their major breakthrough was motocross helmets. Since then, fed up with weird weird name brands and won't buy until I research thoroughly.

Anyhow, many helmets are made in China these days. Few models can be found with SNELL approval. Even Jiekai has ECE approved helmets using ABS material, but those are not sold on Shopee. Only DOT approved Jiekai are, and limited to few models only.

On the bad side, some Shopee helmets are actually certified for mopeds under 30cc, and are not safe for road use.

Interesting. Yes, there are a lot of weird brands out there but if it's below RM100 I think it's safe to say it can't be trusted. Only buying ECE approved helmet, but realised some LS2 have limited parts in Malaysia. I got an FF370 and legit can't find a pinlock visor seller.

Ask them here: https://shopee.com.my/ls2helmets_malaysia
I think you want the pinlock shield, but you can get new visor there too.

For those that ask ff below rm400, can check out LS2 ff370,
it is modular helmet that received 4star rating from sharp.
The locking is 100% secure during the entire test.

Just the pinlock shield though. I found a few visors but with a drop down sun visor I don't think I want a tinted one haha!

This is the one I have right now. Not bad, all washable liners. It's my first helmet so I have nothing to compare it to on wind noise.

Don't worry, 2k helmet also have wind noise. Just get ear plugs if you plan to ride over 30 minutes. Hearing damage is gradual and hope nobody lives to regret it.

Yup, always ride with earplugs. Even a 15 minutes ride gets my ears ringing.

it will be ideal, but antifog spray works too. It doesn't fog up as much, but when it rains it will help loads, esp when you can't crack open your visor when water is gushing everywhere.

i am also looking for a solution to this also, but do you think an anti fog insert is better? will it obstruct vision especially the borders.

i can't find an antifog insert for my helmet, so I am kinda stuck with the anti fog spray. sad.gif

There are those universal inserts, haven't tried them yet.

HJC CS-15 or Shark Ridill

Shark ridill is 450 iinm

Thank you for your suggestion. That Shark Ridill looks like the best choice for a FF @ RM450. Just wonder the ones in Malaysia pass ECE or not.

Any other suggestions? Otherwise I’ll probably pull the trigger.

Got friend using it that came with bike.
So far so good, a bit on heavy side. Doesn't ride very fast and is his first full face, can't comment on noise.
