Stryker Darth Knight Motorcycle Helmet Review
The Stryker Darth Knight Motorcycle Helmet is a black helmet that will completely cover the top half of your face and your nose. The nose piece comes downfrom the center of the helmet at the front. It has straps that will keep it secure when you are wearing it which attach to the side of the helmet at the front and back. These straps then meet in the middle to go under the chin. The design of the helmet resembles the mask that Darth Vader wears in the Star Wars movies. There is no visor as you would find on a standard helmet and the bottom half of your face will not be covered as the helmet has no bottom section.
The helmet comes with two types of eye lenses, clear and mirrored. These lenses are interchangeable so the helmet can be worn during the day and at night. The inclusion of an air hole in the nose will ensure that the lenses will not fog up when you are riding. The section of the helmet that covers the nose will not cause discomfort when you are wearing the helmet and the inclusion of the air hole does not affect this. The way that the eye holes are designed on the helmet means that you will have good peripheral vision when riding.
