LS2 FF800 Storm: the sporty touring helmet from the Spanish company

With a refined design and sharp lines, this LS2 Storm integral combines style and safety.

Design and technical specifications

Il ECE 22.05 certified helmet it has an oval shell which guarantees low aerodynamic resistance and high comfort on the head. The material is KPA, patented and owned by LS2. The screen, very large and well designed, is made of a class A polymer capable of combining impact resistance with great transparency. Visibility is very good also thanks to a specific anti-scratch treatment implemented on the surface. The visor is designed for coupling with the Pinlock anti-fog system which, as happens with high-end helmets, is already included in the purchase package.

The overall weight is around around 1.400 grams, an excellent compromise for a helmet considered for touring. The Storm is full of comforts that make it more than worthy of belonging to the category, first of all we find a second darkened visor that accompanies the transparent one on brighter days. The sun visor is easily controlled by a lever located on the left side of the helmet, an unusual position but which has proven to be functional. The air intakes located on the chin and forehead, together with the rear extractors allow correct ventilation of the helmet, the system works very well and is much appreciated especially in summer and on helmets with darker colors which in general tend to absorb more heat . At high speeds, however, the air flows coming from under the chin are completely shielded by a membrane that deflects them and prevents unpleasant drafts.
