Received my helmet with multiple issues.
My helmet had paint peeling around the grommet visor seal. In several locations the paint appeared chipped or cracked.
My next gripe is the Velcro they used on the forhead spot where the liner connects with the eps. WHO THOUGH a scratchy velco would be the optimal solution to keeping the liner in place? Every time I put the helmet on, the liner would slide back revealing the Velcro which would scratch my forheard! No.
The size and fit is perfect though. Got a small for my 56cm noggin and it was snug yet very comfortable. I'm only upset with the forhead connection between liner and the eps.

I purchased this helmet about a month ago and I am very eager to use it for the upcoming season. The helmet has very nice graphics, the fitment is snug, the opening of the helmet is tighter than the usual helmet, but once over your head it's very comfortable. From trying it on inside it has a nice field of view. Lots of vents which will be nice. Only thing I can complain about is I wish the helmet had a spoiler, it would be a nice added touch, or at least made available to purchase separately.

Full of surprises
Having recently had multiple eye surgeries I was in the market for a new helmet. The main criteria was wind protection and fit with glasses. After watching several online reviews of the AGV K3 I decided to give it a try. After riding a few long trips in Saskatchewan winds I am happy to report that the K3 is an excellent helmet in the wind. The combination of the sun visor, wind guard around the chin and good seal around the visor makes it an excellent helmet for keeping your eyes free from the wind. In addition the ventilation system is very good in hot weather. Glasses are very easy to take on and off. The box contains some nice extras including a big AGV sticker. The graphics are crisp and the paint is deep. It is a little over the top but the bright yellow is a nice bit of high viz. Over all very happy with AGV.

Aerodynamic
Just bought this helmet with the mirror lense and went for a rip up the highway and backroads. Outdoor temp was 32C and humid. All vents were open and I could feel the air passing through attempting to keep me cool so that’s great. Feels light on my head, cuts through the wind at low and high speeds perfectly - very impressed. Great side view however, while riding my 2015 ZX6R, i found that i had to lift my head up and that would cause neck strain for a me so i find it is best suited for a less crunched riding position. Visor moves up and down to the notched positions easily and stops in each one firmly. Seals well, too. Other than lifting my head on a super sport, this is one heck of a deal.

Nice helmet, terrible optical quality.
Purchased this helmet for commuting. I'd become used to the drop down sun visor feature on previous helmets so it was a big selling feature for me. Its a well built shell and the finish is good. I've had no buffeting or aero problems with it. My two complaints have to do with the clear shield that it comes with and the sun visor. The optical quality on the sun visor is so poor that I get a headache from using it during my 30 minute commute. Its wavy and distorted and virtually unusable. The clear shield is built with two thicknesses, with a uniform thickness for most of the shield and a thicker band at the top of the shield, presumably to accommodate the thickness of the pinlock insert. Unfortunately, the ridge at the transition between the two thicknesses works like a fiber optic cable, collecting the sunlight from the length of the shield and focusing it in a glaring beam right above eye level, making my eyes feel like an ant being fried on the sidewalk by some sadistic kid with a magnifying glass. I purchased the tinted shield after the fact in an effort to correct this, and while there is no ridge to cause the problem, the pinlock insert that came with the original shield doesn't fit it, so I now need to buy another one of those. For what I thought would be a quality helmet, I'm disappointed to have to spend so much after the fact (almost 50% of the helmet price) to correct issues with the shield, and still not have a sun visor that is useable. I won't be buying AGV again.

Good helmet for the price
I bought this 2 weeks ago. Then rode it for 4 days 5 to 6 hrs each day and it was good. Min. Noise inside the helmet and A+ for the actual helmet weight!

Date published: 2023-05-29
What kind of sound system fit in the K3 ?
Any main brand of comms devices, that are not designed for specific helmets, should work in the K3 - Cardo and Sena would be the most popular choices. The most popular options would be the Cardo Freecom or Packtalk range, or the Sena 20, 30 or 50 models.

Est-ce que le logo AGV est comme sur la photo où il est différent? Parce qu'ils mentionnent une remarque que le logo peut varier! Merci
Malheureusement, nous n'avons pas de boutique physique et nous ne pouvons garantir lequel des 2 logos AGV sera sur le casque.
Le manufacturier nous indique seulement que le logo AGV pourrait être différent que ce qui est représenté sur la photo.
