Mach V Commander Helmet

The helmet is tight to put on but fits well when its on. I believe the ear cups may be more on the gimmicky side although I might just need to adjust them to get the full effect but regardless its not a loud helmet in my experience. For reference I'm riding an FTR with the toce system so it's definitely not a quiet bike. I would definitely jump on it while its on sale if you're considering it. Also as for the cardo it's definitely in my opinion the best comms on the market. It is loud enough at full volume that my wife could hear it while I was wearing the helmet from probably 10 to 15 feet away.

So far it looks like it fits well. All right.

A little disappointed for the price I paid.

It's just okay. I'm a fair bit disappointed due to a few issues that came out-of-box. The top of the helmet screams when you have the windshield up. The slide button the opens and closes the vent on my right side is very spongy, seemingly doesn't give me the tactile response indicating whether or not it successfully opened or closed. The air bladders don't stay inflated after pumping, and I made sure the pressure release button wasn't stuck. The right side speaker driver is rattling. On the plus side, is a comfortable helmet. It doesn't weight too much for all the tech its packing, and it's warm. Maybe a but too warm. Makes a good fall/winter riding helmet. I get tons of positive attention and compliments on the helmet. To be completely honesty though, I probably won't end up buying another from 509, unless these issues are fix. $700-800 to have these issues is unacceptable to me. I want to love it, I really do, but man it kind of feels like a punch in the gut.
