I'm moving BACK to this helmet, after spending over a grand on others.
Size: Medium
Color: White Pro
I'm brushing the dust off this one and replacing the visor to put it back on the road. I'm a modular buff. I smoke while I ride, but prefer to ride full-faced as I have kids and a wife. Modular helmets are my only option. I've had THREE of these (returned two because of faulty Bluetooth, it still doe
sn't work), a couple of HJC modulars, two cheap $100 Amazon modulars (they were absolutely terrible), a scorpion exo modular (almost as bad as the $100 modulars), and currently ride with the ILM Street fighter modular (the one that flips all the way back). I tossed or returned all but this and the street fighter. I have the pro version. The shell construction is much more confidence inspiring than the flimsy super thin plastic of the $100 helmets, AND the flimsy scorpion. AND, it weighs the same! Area of vision is greater in both ILM's than any other I've tried, a little better than my old HJC's. No distortion, perfect clarity. Unobstructed field of view. This helmet has a cheeck guard clip on wind thingy that works well, and is great in the rain even though it fogs up. Rode with this from Tampa to Lynchburg VA for a funeral (through a tropical storm THE WHOLE WAY), and sunny the whole way back. 50hrs on my bike. Fog want much of an issue as long as I could crack my visor, but when it was pouring I was relying on vents. pin-locks would have been nice, but it outperformed any other helmet I've had. My biggest complaint: my neck was killing me!!!!! It took months before my shoulder stopped hurting. Now I take breaks every 2 hours. I thought it was due to the weight, but I've had 4 different helmets since then and they are all within 0.1oz of each other. I think it's the balance. The Bluetooth SUCKS. Calls DO NOT work, reception is non existent. Automatically answers EVERY call. I hated this helmet so much because of the Bluetooth that it got to the point that every annoyance started to build and fester, hell- even the color began to annoy me. And, the lack of pin-locks made my morning commute miserable on some cold mornings in Florida. Finally, I scratched the visor to the point it had to be replaced. YES!!!!!!! I ended up with the street fighter after a few of the others, couldn't afford a shark. Now that the reviews on that helmet are coming in, I'm glad I didn't buy a shark. The street fighter with a better Bluetooth solved most of my problems, but I just moved to Georgia and it does NOT do well in the cold. No chin guard wind thingy, sucks in downpours, sits too high around the neck, AND NO PIN LOCKS! So I decided to dig out this helmet and see if they had visors available, and they now have fog lenses with pin-lock holes!!!!! YES!!!! It's really not as bad of a helmet as I thought. It has it's downsides, but it's light-years ahead of other helmets in it's price range. I've ordered FIVE ILM helmets, returned 3 due to the blacktooth and Amazon reselling used stuff, and all 5 were basically the same quality. Only one QC issue between all 5 helmets. I highly recommend ILM as the ONLY option for those on a budget. I'm considering HJC's new modular that flips all the way back, but for now it looks like this is my new winter helmet. I will be removing the Bluetooth and will probably make my own and 3d print a case to fit in the original hole. Bottom line: unless you have the ability to make your own Bluetooth and print a case to fit in the old hole, DO NOT BUY THIS HELMET. BUY AN ILM, BUT NOT ANY WITH THIS VERSION OF BLACKTOOTH. Note: I tried other blackteeth, including SENA, they all sucked, pretty badly. No volume, no bass or clarity. Soo.... I tucked my tail and came back to freedconn the way I did ILM. bought one of their better versions for my street fighter helmet, and IT KICKS ASC. Great volume, CALLS WORK, great sound. Can't tell if my my helmet is windy when I turn it up lol.

Fits good, and sounds good!
Size: Large
Color: Matte Black
Went off the sizing chart. I measured at 22-7/8. Chart says medium, but most helmets run smaller so chose large. It showed up two days after ordering, and it fit perfect. The Bluetooth works great. I had the helmet synced up ready to go in ten minutes. Went for a ride to test it out. FYI, I have a ve
ry loud exhaust with short pipes but I also have a windshield. I could hear the music perfectly, actually had to turn the volume down. Thought it sounded really good for a helmet. Called my wife, she said I sounded different but she could understand everything I was saying just fine. It was quieter on my end during the phone call compared to music. The helmet is great as far as comfort, and ventilation. Really like the drop down visor. Overall I think this a great helmet. I will be buying another one for my wife real soon.

Helmet intercom connection
Size: Medium
Color: White
For those having issues with connecting multiple Ilm helmets. The instructions that came w the helmets are trash, I had to figure it out myself for me and my wife. Here is the checklist that I put together that reliably works. I hope this helps you too, as I see a good amount of complaints on pairing
intercom w the provided directions. Helmet connection checklist 1. Both helmets off 2. helmet 1 (953) hold button to turn on and beep into pairing mode flashing red and blue 3. Turn helmet 2 (953pro) on and hold onto pairing mode 4. Click helmet 1 button hear a beep 5. Hold helmet 2 button for 3 sec count hear connected 6.

Great value, blue tooth is not the best
Size: Large
Color: Matte Black
Great helmet, love the built in sunscreen. Good value but the Bluetooth volume does leave something to be desired. Hard to hear at high speed, iffy below 40 mph. Other then that this is a great helmet

Nice helmet, but I did not pay attention to sizing information
Size: Large
Color: Matte Black
This is a great helmet with a lot of features… Bluetooth works good. However, it's a bit small for me because I did not read the literature thoroughly. It says order a size bigger and I did not. Speaker is adequate although not awesome.
