Key features of Novic Skidd
Sportsbikeshop lists the following details for the checked version:
- Lightweight ABS shell construction
- Two shell sizes for a balanced fit
- Removable and washable interior
- Anti-bacterial material used throughout
- Micrometric ratchet chin strap
- Spring-loaded visor system
Protection and construction
The listed approval is ECE 22.05. Check the exact helmet label and specification for the version you are buying, particularly if you need it for a track event.
Fit and adjustment
The chin-strap fastening is Quick Release. Make sure you are comfortable operating that fastening and adjusting it securely before choosing the helmet.
Visor and visibility
The visor is prepared for a Pinlock insert, but the insert is not included. Allow for that separate purchase if anti-fog performance is a priority.
Comfort and everyday use
The interior is removable for cleaning. Follow the manufacturer’s care instructions and refit the pads in their original positions.
Fit and the exact version
Try the helmet on before committing to a size: check even contact around the head and secure retention with the strap fastened. Shell specifications do not establish whether its internal shape suits you. If you use glasses or an intercom, check their fit with this exact helmet and the relevant fitting instructions.
Versions and options
The checked listing links to these options: Gloss White, Matt Black, Gloss Black. Check the selected version and available sizes before ordering; the linked price may apply to a particular option.
