I got it from the address mentioned on the website. I'm sure after seeing my helmet, you'll never want to be ordinary. We'll meet sometime and then you take a decision.

So far my views from usage:-
Pros:-
1. Good design
2. Good graphics and color schemes
3. Good ventilation/air circulation
4. Removable washing cheek pads and inner pads
5. Easy installation of visor
6. D-clip to secure around the chin
7. DOT certified

Cons:-
Haven't crashed till now (touch wood), so would not be able to comment from impact point of view. Attractive so chances of getting stolen is high. (almost lost SOL-ACME).

SOL ACME has inbuilt sun visor and it is a premium line which is plush inside and design is awesome.

SOL Unicorn II is funky, stylish, colorful and design is futuristic!

I'm no helmet expert, but have expressed what I experienced.

I've been using AGV - FVS(MPA India) for more than a year and it is decent for 2k and it is still good as I use it everyday. However I've been planning to upgrade my helmet and search was on. I keep visiting helmet store around the city for sometime checking out LS2, Cross, Studds Vega as and when happen to hear new models. Nothing captured my heart. I've been hearing LS2 being sold right from 2k-5k, more or less the same shell with different color schemes. Wonder why LS2 has so much of difference across India, is dealer getting those for dirt cheap? Questioned to myself, what if they are fake ones? Cross helmets are ok, but did not appeal.

While I was on lookout for some good quality helmet came across SOL brand helmets originating from Taiwan. The color schemes, design, air vents and quality material used is very good. The finish, paint job, foam padding work speak for the quality. Important factor is the air ventilation when it comes to long distance rides, which not many helmets n the Indian market offer or rather it is still not enough.SOL brand helmets offer good ventilation, the inlet and outlet vents acts very good and helps good air circulation thus keeps your head sweat free. I bought SOL Acme Red six months back and have taken it to couple of road trips. Felt the snug fit the best hence did not feel and wobble during cross winds. The Polycarbonate visor lens is clear and there is no wave formation from end to end. It comes with LED lights at the rear for signalling, would think it is for emergency situation on the highway incase of electrical failure. Don't ask me more.

I've two helmets now:-
SOL - ACME Red - six months back.
SOL - Unicorn Red - Yesterday.

Wow, looks exactly like the gmax helmets even the models are names similar

They(gmax helmets) are said to have good ventilation & have read positive review from webbikeworld.

How is the noise level at speeds higher than 80kmph?

Yes but shipping is a little extra. Send a mail to ask for details.

The model is the same - 68s - just the graphic is different.

SOL is the parent company - the GMax brand is proprietary to the North American market. The same helmets are sold as SOL elsewhere in the world.

That is good to hear, I was looking to buy one of the gmax helmets before i bought my current one.
Thanks for the info Sunny, any plans of having some distributors in Bangalore?

It comes with LED lights at the rear for signalling, would think it is for emergency situation on the highway incase of electrical failure. Don't ask me more.

Sunny, could you throw more light on the LED lights? Do these work like signal/turn indicators or brake lights or are they just flashers (not literally ) to ensure higher visibility in low light conditions?

They're just flashers for low light conditions - though I believe that there will soon be a remote accessory to connect to the rear brakes!

[Helios]

I got myself a SOL - Unicorn ( Black & Silver ) size - XS The visor as told by Sunny was spectacular. I would recommend this over anything for this prize any point of time!
