Reviews & Ratings
13:10The 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.
07:32The reviewer briefly mentions the SUNRIMOON S42 MICHAEL at the end of the video as a road helmet they also have. They describe its appearance as 'so so fine' and 'fire', highlighting its rear spoiler and color scheme (pink features on navy blue). They note it shares many features with the TT31 helmet, specifically the rubberized 3D mesh system for protection, and praise its sleek look. The reviewer uses it as an example to state that the brand is 'definitely on to something' with innovative designs.
