Hey all,
I see helmet threads on here time/time, and just thought I'd share some info on my latest helmet purchase. It is a 2021 LS2 Valiant II modular/convertible helmet. It joins my "current" stable of Scorpion Covert and AT-950, HJC IS-33II and IS-17, AFX FX-72 and Z1R Jimmy. This new helmet will be my go to traveling helmet. As you can see, it goes from full face style to 3/4 style in seconds. The chin bar rotates back 180*, and the front shield rotates up to match the curvature of the helmet. The internal drop down visor also drops down darn near low enough to be a secondary face shield. I replaced the stock dark visor to amber for both daytime, rain and night time use. It has speaker pockets built in and has exterior room for either my Sena 5S or 10C Evo. It is eye glass and sunglass friendly. Has multiple vents for warmer weather days. Being a modular, it is a touch louder than a dedicated full face, but I wouldn't consider it a loud helmet. Also DOT compliant. It comes shipped inside a nice helmet bag that is inside of a padded back pack. A pinlock shield is also included. As you can see, instead of using a boom mic, I elect to use a wired mic placed at mouth level in between the cheek pad/liner. Works great there. Just kind of a PSA for some helmet info

I bought this same helmet just about a month ago. Love the functionality. Haven't attempted to mount my comm system yet so kinda anxious to see how it fits behind the sun visor lever.
I WAS going to buy this but Revzilla said it was a bit rounder than some others (like my Shoei). My HJC RPHA 90 is too round for me so I didn't think this would work. Great design idea being able to go from modular to 3/4.
Love it, Troop.....thanks..... and that is what I have taken to doing with my mikes, too. It really gets them out of the way, but they still function well

The wife and me went with the LS2 Verso helmet. It also has the removable chin bar which is the way I most will wear the helmet as a 3/4 style. Mounting of Sena was pretty easy also as the hard foam has a cut out for the speakers. A very well constructed helmet and DOT approved.
Looks like a great helmet at a good price. Unfortunately, like with so many other things today, it looks like supplies are really tight. You may have to hunt hard to find the one you want.
