Hi guys welcome back to another MD video, today we are having a five month after
review of the shark skwal 2 switch ride helmet check it out
let's get it out of the bag, right so first thing right off the bat you want to know should you
buy this helmet yes yes you should it's great helmet it's
fantastic it's got some flaws it's got some issues which will go up go over in
a second but overall if you don't want to watch this video any further and you
want to know if it's a good helmet to buy definitely do that if you want to
find out more stick around. let's jump into what I like about the
switch Rider the Sharks skwal 2 then we'll talk about all the things that I
don't like about it all the things that bother me slightly and we'll take it
from there. so firstly the fit this the interior the
inside of this helmet is fantastic it feels great on your head with these
thick neck rolls it really comes around your neck covers all the wind noise just
the the quality of the inside of this helmet is really great and I'm really
enjoying that quite a lot then the visor it's got this auto seal system which
it's got this great gasket lining that goes right around the helmet which seals
very very well so when you at speed and you close up the visor it really
eliminates any wind noise from getting in or wind getting in and that's
fantastic for when you're on their highway the open road
they might not seem that much ventilation on this helmet
it's only got the front vent and the brow vent for the top vent and that
might not seem like a lot but the helmet seems to be well ventilated it doesn't
get hot at all it does have a bit of an exhaust vent here at the back as well
for the top which really drags through and works quite well, the mechanical
aspects of the helmet like the the visor that dropped down Sun Visor and the
ratchet strap on the inside seems to all be holding up really really well and
it's working quite well and I've had no issues with it so all around these are
the things I really like about this helmet and it looks fantastic ok so now
some of the things I don't like about the shark skwal 2 let's start with the
LEDs lets go ahead and put them on
okay they don't seem to be working it's because they're flat it's because I
don't use them so if you are a nighttime rider and you ride at you know in the
evenings or early in the morning then this is a great option to have if you've
got the extra cash and you want to spend that on the LED version definitely do so
it's fantastic to have but not something that you would use all the time and it
is a bit of a pain once a week or so if you don't use it quite often you have to
plug it in every time and recharge it so mine is obviously flat because I don't
do a lot of nighttime riding since I've had this helmet
I've only been out in the night time three times so
you know do with that what you will, secondly the helmet is a little bit
heavy not so much that it's a problem but if you are doing excessively long
commuting or going to ride very far it could become a little bit of a pain but
not so much that I would not buy this helmet, as cool as this little fin on the
back looks it could be a little bit irritating for when you are you've got a
backpack on the back and you looking up or looking around it keeps pushing back
into your backpack if you're if it's sitting up quite high on your back so
that's a also just a little bit of a something that irritates me but also not
enough to make you not want to buy this element then lastly my biggest pain with
the shark skwal 2 is the front vent now they could have made this slide vent
just it clicks open or clicks closed or something which would have been a lot
better than this push action vent I've noticed that if
you are doing quite fast speeds on a highway the wind actually just closes
this and really it just like pushes the back that's how flimsy this little vent
is so you constantly have to when you stop pushing your chin open it up again
because it will flap closed so they definitely could have made that better
and that's my biggest issue with the shark skwal 2 switch rider helmet other
than that I've really enjoyed this helmet so far it's a great helmet and I
would definitely recommend you checking it out for yourself if you want to buy
one of these the fit and feel of the helmets
extremely nice definitely something you want to try out and see if you want to
purchase one but as all helmets before you go and buy or make up your mind go
check your local dealers your motorcycle shops try on all the helmets which are
in your price range and that way you'll know what's available to you and
obviously which falls into your budget and you'll be able to make a decision
and get the helmet that works for you, but just as that we are done with this
