Zamp Motorcycle Helmet review

by L.A.Zendarski

I recently purchased a Zamp brand full face helmet to be used when riding my Yamaha Vino.

This is the first motorcycle helmet I’ve purchased and fully expected it to be very heavy as in a previous helmet I’d tried. (it was so heavy it made me feel like a bobble-head doll!) This one, however, was not as heavy and works wonderfully. The Zamp motorcycle helmet has a heavy plastic face shield that has saved me numerous times.

I’ve been hit by small stones, large bugs and butterflies and have had no problems. Had I been hit in the face with the stones, I would have been injured, perhaps severely. I don’t particularly like having my face covered but it is a safety issue and I feel it is needed.

Additionally, this helmet has a jaw shield and a lot of padding on the inside of the helmet. If there would be a crash, the force would be taken throughout the entire helmet, not just the jaw area.

The only things I don’t like about the Zamp helmet is the rubber piece that locks the plastic face shield into the jaw shield and the lack of an air vent. The rubber comes loose on occasion and is just annoying. I would like air vents to get more fresh air into the helmet.

Other than that the Zamp motorcycle helmet has been great for me.
