Confortable , la taille est exacte , style parfait
J'ai reçus aujourd'hui même mon casque ,
je doit dire que je le trouve beau , il vas bien avec tout style de moto ,
très confortable , intérieur doux et capitonner , plus léger de ceux que je possède ,
j'ai suivit le guide des tailles , et la taille est exactement de la bonne dimension ,
en plus ce casque ne nous fait pas un look de bobble-head "rare dans mon cas" ,
l'ajout de lunette Biltwell est un bon atout , elle s'encastre parfaitement au casque ,
le surplus de la sangle s'attache à un bouton poussoir "snap" glissant sur la sangle ,
les anneau d'attache de la sangle fonctionne bien "les anneau s’emmêle pas" ,
une protection vient dessous la sangle qui évite la friction sur le cou ,
non ventilé donc oui un peut chaud , mais je n'ai pas encore tester sur la route ,
en gros , je suis très satisfait de mon achat .

Good helmet, with a few odd quirks.
First open faced helmet in this style, I like the adaptability of it, when I city ride slap on some googles your good to go airflow for days.
Driving highway snap on that bubble shield and live out your mad max fantasy ( though turning your head at freeway speed with that giant fudging bubble shield feels like god himself wants your head to rotate like an owl)
Noise level she’s pretty decent no rattling from the snaps good wind flow under the helmet tickles my delicate chin keeping me cool but unmolested by the gale force winds on the coast.
7.7 /10 would wear again.

Excellent purchase, thoroughly recommended!
I bought this helmet about 3 months ago and have been enjoying it very much ever since! Canada's Motorcycle shipping was very fast and the package in which it came was appropriate.
As of the helmet itself, the design is very classy and retro, people have been asking about its provenance when I ride in town with it. It's very comfortable and the fit is great, although you should definitely go one size smaller than the chart tells you. I know this has been said before but I can't stress this enough.
This helmet is surprisingly light! The padding inside is removable which is good for cleaning. The shape of the said padding is very well though too. You feel safe with this helmet on.
The shape doesn't give you a big head either which is nice, particularly when riding a small bike. It fits really well in a regular-sized locker too, which I couldn't say of my old "superbike" helmet. Sure, the fact it doesn't have a visor can be challenging, but you'll learn to wear glasses or goggles soon enough.
The price might seem steep, but ask yourself how much your chin is worth and it's easily justifiable! There are very few retro looking full face helmets under 250$, and this is the best. Forget that "cool" open-face helmet, this is the new cool!
Buy this, enjoy the looks and class of riding with the nicest cool helmet in town!

Great Helmet!
I love my new helmet, only worn it a few times, but it is awesome. Fits great (but be sure to read sizing info). Lining is very soft with lots of padding. And the helmet is so light compared to my other full faced helmet which weighed me down. Overall very happy with the purchase.

Great, but watch out for Fortnine's note!
That's just a great helmet. Am I well protected? I'm not that sure, especially after watching Fortnine's video about this helmet on YT. But I mean come on, that looks so good with the Moto Goggle 2.0.
One thing, however: watch out for Fortnine's important note about size. I don't know who measured their head wrong or how he did it, but the Gringo is NOT a size too large. In fact, I had quite the opposite experience.
My head is a whopping 59cm (no big head jokes, please). I first ordered the medium helmet since there was this important note. Nah-ah! I had trouble taking the helmet off. It gave my girlfriend a funny and entertaining ala Mr Bean's turkey stuck on his head, which was very funny for her, but not a very enjoyable experience.
So I returned the medium and ordered a large helmet that's supposed to fit 59-60cm big head mutants like me. Still too small! It was better, but it was way too tight and I was guaranteed a headache after a short ride.
So XL it was. Now, it fits properly. See what I mean about Fortnine's important note? We're way off "take a size down". In fact, it's take a size up!

Sweet
Comfy, accurate sizing, fits as it should, clean, slick looking, came quick, there where stickers in the package and a cloth helmet bag for storing the melon protector. Decent pricing to look and feel like an absolute legend on two wheels. Would recommend the visor tho cuz the wind can be brutal on the eyes and real men don’t cry.

Questions
Does the Biltwell Gringo have the speaker cutouts if I want to add a communication system like the Gringo S?
Yes, this helmet does have room for mounting speakers
Date published: 2024-04-21
Does this helmet comes with visor or is it sold separately?
No visor. Could add the bubble shield or the blast shield. I sport mine with goggles.
Date published: 2017-10-04
Can you use the small bubble visor that flips up with the Gringo? Or does it have to be the larger bubble visor with the 3 snaps?
As per the manufacturer, this will only take the snap-on visor.

How does a visor fit this? Buttons? Which visor?
Yes, there are 3 snaps on the top of the visor or the bubble sheild. Biltwell makes a visor in a few colours, although I beleive the Bell visor also fits. There is a Biltwell bubble sheild that uses the same 3 snap configuration and a blast sheild that is effectively a polycarb window that fastens with 5 smaps. On the Biltwell visor, the centre snap is fixed and the side two snaps slide to adjust properly.
