LS2 Spitfire Bombrider Helmet

I’ve been on an open-face motorcycle helmet kick recently. I really like the designs that are out there, and there are often great graphics, too. That’s the case for the LS2 Bombrider Helmet.

The helmet has a kind of WWII vintage quality to the graphic. It has a pinup girl sitting on a bomb on the side of it. This paired with the classic design of the LS2 Spitfire makes it look really good.

Let’s take a look at the details of the helmet and all that it has to offer.

At some point when you’re out riding, you will get stuck in the rain, and that’s when you need some good motorcycle gear—specifically good rain gear—if you want to stay dry and comfortable.
