LS2 VECTOR II CARBON HELMET

Carbon was SO cool in the 1990s – so it’s cool to us oldies, too. New for 2023, the Vector II Carbon brings the race-helmet technology of a 100 per cent full carbon shell with the comfort and practicality required for the road, and it’s cheap, too!

The Vector II Carbon’s premium spec starts at the outer shell, which is made from multiple layers of LS2’s High-Grade Wide Weave carbon fibre. It offers high penetration resistance and energy dispersion, yet weighs in at just 1350 grams. The Vector II is produced in sixsmallest outline and closest possible fit in each size range. Up front there’s a 3D Optically Correct A-Class Polycarbonate visor (anti-scratch and anti-fog) which sits in a wide aperture to maximise all-round vision with a quick-release system. Yes, you’ve also got a sun visor and a breath deflector as well as good venting and a removable/washable hypoallergenic liner. A chin curtain reduces wind noise, too. It’s ECE 22.06 certified. Prices are: carbon, £259.99, and graphics, £289.99.
