A few weeks ago I bought a helmet from Cycle gear A Bilt Explorer https://www.cyclegear.com/gear/bilt-explorer-adventure-helmet I was taken by the peak and built in sun shield and the price a whopping $69 
So what’s it like? well after I had fitted the sena I was pleased to say the interior padding was easy to remove and replace and having read the reports from the ADV rider site I had put Loctite on the small screws on the exterior to keep them in place it was time for a ride.
Well the helmet is not as loud as I had feared ( I wear ear plugs) your own opinion may be different but for me it’s only slightly louder than my scorpion exo1100, the visor is easy to use and the seal is good in the dry as for the wet I cannot say but if I get caught in the rain I will let you know.
So visor down on the road and another good feature was noticed the side to side vision is great, seems the big opening in this style means better side and vertical vision also I did not notice any distortion because of the shape of the visor another win then and the peak makes blinding sun a thing of the past, the drop down sun shade is good but the slide is not a polished and as easy to use as on my scorpion but it works and stayed closed and sprang up when needed.
The vents on the helmet were not easy to use on the go and I did not notice any difference open or closed and even after the mod suggested on ADV rider site, finish seems good, overall very impressed with the purchase let’s see what happens over a few thousand miles.
