SUNRIMOON CS-43 PHANTOM

SUNRIMOON CS-43 PHANTOM

Helmet

Are these Chinese cycling helmets any good?
00:13:10

The reviewer discusses the SUNRIMOON CS-43 PHANTOM helmet as one of two models received from the company. They describe it as a white helmet in a higher price category. The reviewer notes it has a very good fit, substantial construction, and a comfortable magnetic clasp system similar to Fidlock. However, they highlight several significant issues: cosmetic errors like peeling stickers on the sunglass indentation, a lack of MIPS technology, and a critical quality control failure where the height adjustment mechanism is excessively loose, moving on its own. This flaw leads the reviewer to state they would not feel safe wearing it, especially in an impact scenario. They conclude they cannot recommend this specific helmet.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Construction quality feels very good and substantial
  • Fit on the head is described as phenomenal and super secure
  • Has three adjustment mechanisms (height, width, side straps)

+4 more

Cons

  • Has cosmetic errors: paint overspray and stickers on the sunglass indentations are already peeling
  • Does not have MIPS technology
  • The height adjustment mechanism is critically loose and moves on its own, which the reviewer considers a safety concern for impact protection

Key Points

  • Model name: CS-43 Phantom
  • Color: White
  • Has sunglass storage notches/indentations on the sides

SUNRIMOON S42 MICHAEL

Helmet

00:13:10

The reviewer discusses the SUNRIMOON S42 MICHAEL helmet as one of two models received from the company. They state the construction quality feels very good and substantial, with a thicker padding than their reference helmet (POC Octal X). The fit is described as phenomenal due to three adjustment mechanisms (height, width via a twist dial, and side straps) and it sits securely on the head. The helmet uses a magnetic lock clasp system similar to Fidlock. The reviewer notes it has gutters to prevent insects from flying directly onto the head. They have worn it outside and found it comfortable without excessive sweating. However, they note it lacks MIPS technology and does not have notches for storing sunglasses, unlike the other model. The reviewer also mentions cosmetic quality control issues like paint overspray, but for the S42 Michael specifically, the height adjustment mechanism is stiff and secure, unlike the problematic white model. They conclude the S42 Michael is a solid helmet they will wear, and at $75, it represents a worthwhile investment, but due to broader quality control issues across the brand, they cannot currently recommend the company.

AI Summary

Pros

  • Construction quality feels very good and substantial
  • Phenomenal fit on the head
  • Three adjustment mechanisms (height, twist dial for width, side straps) for a secure and customizable fit

+6 more

Cons

  • Lacks MIPS technology
  • Does not have notches/slots for storing sunglasses on the helmet
  • General cosmetic quality control issues noted across both helmets (e.g., paint overspray)

+1 more

Key Points

  • Model name: S42 Michael
  • Construction: Styrofoam shell with a bouncy mesh material and thick padding
  • Adjustment: Three mechanisms - height adjustment at back, twist dial for width, adjustable side straps
