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)
- Features a magnetic closing clasp system (similar to Fidlock) that is secure
- Has notches/indentations for securely storing sunglasses
- Padding material is described as very thick and substantial
- Company provided third-party safety testing documentation for their helmets
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
- General quality control issues are noted, including harsh, non-chamfered edges on internal ventilation notches
- Retail price is high ($115), making the value proposition weak compared to reputable brands with fewer issues and MIPS
Key Points
- Model name: CS-43 Phantom
- Color: White
- Has sunglass storage notches/indentations on the sides
- Uses a magnetic clasp system
- Height adjustment mechanism is faulty on the reviewed sample
- Retail price is $115
