New Lids for us

So Christmas came early, i decided to get some new helmets for the wife and I. Since this F6B blocks so much wind for me (i ride with various windscreens, the tallest being the LRS Taka 9") I ride with my Arai full face visor open 95% of the time. So, Ive been thinking Modular, but can't stand the "full sail" look and they aren't generally made to be ridden in the open setting. Then I stumbled across this version made by Shark. The long and short of it is the helmet converts from full face to 3/4. Has a drop down visor and a pinlock insert. Best of all, It fits in my side bag. No more carrying my helmet in to work, which is actually a very long walk compared to most, about 6 min to my locker. Should give me a lot more wind on those hot days.

That model is my wife's, I chose the one in the video above

The helmet in the vid had no marks on it....
While I'm sure it's DOT blessed, do you know if it is Snell and/or ECE approved?
Thanks,
Steve

ECE-22.05 certified.

Trying to figure how to size one.
They are nice looking.

Not rated by Snell. Here are a link to the certifications, and its SHARP rating. I believe SHARP has to do with the chin guard holding up on a modular.

On another note. Went riding and love the open face.

I wasn't sure on sizing, I was able to try a LG on at my local Cycle Gear. The LG had a little wiggle room, so I ordered a medium. Europe has some different color options than the ones sold here, so I ordered online. Also a bonus of doing that, my helmet came with a ratcheting quick release strap instead of the "d" ring that are on the US versions. I ordered from the Netherlands, via Ebay, free shipping...was here Fed Ex in 3 business days!! beat that Amazon!

Did the same thing as you ordering via Netherlands. Have had the Shark Evo-One for a couple seasons now (mine is white with black and red striping). Third Shark helmet. Love 'em.

I really like the ratchet a lot better that the d-ring. Lots easier with gloves.
thanks for the info.

I think that modular helmets can't get SNELL approval.....only full face helmets. For some reason, they don't like your chin scraping the concrete at 85 mph.
