What does P/J homologation mean on this helmet?

It is certified both as a full-face helmet (P) and as an open-face jet helmet (J). You can ride legally with the chin bar closed or flipped up, though open mode is meant for low speeds.

Is the visor Pinlock-ready?

Yes. The main visor accepts a Pinlock anti-fog insert, which is not included. The helmet also has an integrated drop-down sun visor.

How do I pick the right size?

Measure your head about 2.5 cm above your eyebrows. The size chart runs XS 53-54 cm, S 55-56 cm, M 57-58 cm, L 59-60 cm and XL 61-62 cm.

Is a carbon shell worth it over a plastic one?

Carbon is lighter and stiffer than polycarbonate, which matters on a modular helmet with a flip mechanism. You pay more for it, but the weight saving is real on long rides.

Can I use it for commuting?

Yes. The flip-up chin bar, sun visor and venting suit stop-and-go city riding and daily commutes as well as touring.

The helmet itself. A Pinlock insert is not included, so buy one separately if you ride in cold or wet conditions.

Our take on the LS2 Advant X Solid FF901 Glans Carbon

The LS2 Advant X Solid FF901 is a flip-up (system) helmet with a carbon fiber shell, which keeps it light for a modular design. It carries P/J homologation, so it is certified for riding both with the chin bar closed and with it flipped open. A drop-down sun visor and a Pinlock-ready main visor cover everyday riding, and the venting is aimed at touring and commuting comfort. Against modular rivals it stands out on weight and the dual homologation; the trade-off is that carbon shells cost more than polycarbonate ones and the open-face mode is for low-speed use.
