I was in the market for a modular helmet that was well ventilated, not too expensive/heavy, with a built-in sun visor, muted design and Bluetooth compatible. This is the only THE ONLY helmet in the market that fit all my needs. Excellent build quality, functionality and price.
It's true to size (my hat size is large and I got the same size in the helmet and it fit perfect).
My primary complaint is the buckle. I just wish it was quick snap. Also the visor is not shatterproof/resistant or anti-fog, but I guess that's asking for too much at this price point (moreover, I can swap it later if I want to).
Overall I'm very happy with this helmet.

SparX Helios - chin bar latches - metal? plastic? I see the posts are metal, I was wondering what material was used for the latch?

SparX Helios: I noticed the posts for the chin bar latching were metal, what is the material for the latches in the rotating chin bar?
It's metal. Not quick snap though.

I am looking at this helmet for the general female rider that may ride with me. I am unsure as to whether to get a small or a medium..?

I would go with the hat size.
