Due to a medical condition, the father of a friend has had to give up riding. I’ve been tasked with selling off all his riding gear. This means that I can’t tell you a whole lot about the history, the age, or even the size. I fit an Arai XL oval and this helmet is a tiny bit small for me. The helmet was owned by a senior citizen who, judging by the other gear that I’m selling for him, does not appear to be too cavalier in how he treated his gear. The helmet has a flip-down sun visor (you can see it in the 2nd photo) which is a great feature. It also come with a 260 page owner’s manual; Germans, what can I say.
