Default Simpson Bandit lids

Simple question this

Are they legal or not for use on a bike ?

Looking on fleaby atm n see a few for sale, but I’m sure I rem from yrs gone by they weren’t legal for bike use

Is that still the case or is that a load of ol bull ?

Here's a pic of my old blade and the simpson bandit lid i used to have,as for them being road leagal they are not but saying that i had mine for a good 5-6yrs and never had anything mentioned when pulled over by the police for other offences.

I would recommend trying one 1st if you hav'nt already as the vision is restricted a lot compared to a standard helmet,they do look wicked though

Cool pick

Restricted vision wasn’t something I was aware of tho
Esp as having to wear glasses already Maybe not so suited to me lol
