You can purchase this helmet with or without a shield.....same helmet but cheaper w/o shield.Fabulous helmet with great air flo and very comfortable. I think it was originally designed for the track. I use it for training as do many of my friends. I love it.

Yes it's the same without the magnetic shield. I use it for road cycling, but I am sure it can be you for mountian bikes.

yes, they are almost identical. the one with the shield has a few slight mounting point on it for the shild, but its pretty much the same from what i could tell

I'm not a expert on this by no means. I chose the wind proof because I was going to wear it while snowmobiling in a area that can be very cold and windy. I relied on the reviews of others on both masks. I'm pleased with it.

i don't think it's a CE RATED motorcycle armor, since i did not see any approved tags on the armor. this armor is the cheapest you can buy for decent quality. get a size larger than the usual size you wear since the sizing chart is not true. i use this armor with the EVS neck brace and the FX-39 helmet and the FOX Launch Knee/Shin Pad when i ride my electric mountain bike that can go as fast as 70 Km/h. any type of protection that you wear while riding will reduce the injuries if ever you get into a bike crash. hope that info helped you. sincerely, Steve.

Hi! I think this helmet is recommended for skating & skateboarding only. The impact resistance totally saved my head. But, it was a low speed event. Basic physics: Force = Mass x Accelleration. Less force is produced on a low speed crash, so you only need a padded soft shell to absorb impact. On a higher speed bike crash (greater accelleration), the softer padded shell could not protect against the greater impact energy. That's why bike helmets have a harder shell that can absorb & disperse the greater impact energy, whereas a softer shell like this helmet would absorb & focus the greater impact energy into the skull. It's a better helmet for skating mainly because its wicked comfy, while providing great low energy impact resistance. Hope this helps!

Other than a downhill mtb full face helmet or a motocross helmet I'd say these are the next best thing but I've never hit my head riding a bicycle to be honest. I feel safe in this though for XC mtb. I've had concussions racing motocross

This shield is only compatible with the Macho Dyna helmet. My other son has the Swift brand helmet and it would not fit.

I have used this helmet on 3-5 hour rides in Indiana summers on high humidity days and it is about the same as wearing a ball cap. That is why I like the helmet, it is light and not restrictive. If it is hot, you will sweat, but it is a great helmet for rides in high(er) temps.

I think it's a good helmet for MMA style grappling where a traditional wrestling ear guard is too bulky. For traditional wrestling, I would recommend something that just covers the ears and is a bit more protective around the ears themselves.

The commuter has a thin rubber cover and a thin plastic cover over the rubber. Both pieces just snap over the back of the phone. They also include a screen film to cover the front. I had the defender for my iphone and it was total protection for my phone unlike the commuter which I think is a total wast of money. I purchased the UAG case and the Dualtek which I really like.

Readjust your shield so wind deflects over your head. The shield is very adjustable. I have no such problem with mine

I have the AFX full face helmet and it works well. I put the speaker on using the Velcro backing on the top of the chin strap in the ear well and it is great. I've had friends call me and I've answered going about 50 mph and they had no idea I was on the bike. My email is bstickley1140@yahoo Send me yours and I can email pics.

I think the shield is permanently attached to cap area, but without it comes with zipper where isfully removable if U don't want to wear the entire shield on your head and face. I guess maybe the zipper is the difference vs permanently attached shield.

Helmet is roomy. I have a sm md and lg and I can wear my sons sm. The adjustable strap is very user friendly and provides a lot of range...more than a bike helmet. It's also pretty warm. I wear a thin balaclava in cold conditions ( sub 20 degrees) and all is good.

Erin, I thought that you could ..but after I received mine there is no magnet attachment on the non shield helmets....I would just buy the one with the shield or just buy some nice sunglasses like I did....B

Sorry, I don't know. I'm not a expert. I just bought this helmet because the price is reasonable and I need it. This helmet has the name " Summer Helmet" So, it has good ventilatin. I use this for 3 season: spring, summer, fall. This helmet is light and hard but small. If you are Asian, please choose bigger size than your head size. Have a nice shopping with Amazon.
