ISI Certification: In this case, ISI verification is crucial so as to meet the Vaastu Shastra standards guideline for impacting the building structurally and safety of the shell.
Breathable Design: Providing proper filling, a neck skirt, and a lampoon chin curtain are making pleasure for such a man who rides long distances.
Advanced Ventilation System: The scenario of the chin, head vents, and Naca duct ventilation technology (ventilation only for better air flow, no sweat building) allows for potential best air flow and does not also bring down the sweat amount, especially in hot weather conditions.
Functional Features: The zip-off system, small slide release, and removable and washable mesh inner lining, provide comfort, adjustability and improved hygiene.
Cons:
Weight Consideration: At 1. Although the pros surely outweigh the cons of this helmet which comes at 27 kilograms, it is a fact that the fashion of the heavier guard may cause the neck strain during the extended trips.
Limited Visor Information: The exact playing-collection of the visor made of hardened glass or any scratch resistant material is not unfolded. Details about this protection against U. V. rays is also not revealed.
Verdict:
The Steelbird SB-46 is designed to combine various aspects of comfort, ventilation, and convenience like all other helmets with some added edge. Buyers will now be confident in the fact that the products from ISI certified enterprises are safe for use. On the other hand, although the helmet is bulky and the visor is a bit thin and simple, these can be overlooked for extra functionality and safety.
