FAQs
Can I use this helmet for all types of motorcycling?
The LS2 OF606 Drifter is a versatile open-face helmet suitable for general motorcycle use, including commuting and touring. However, for high-speed racing or extreme conditions, a full-face helmet is generally recommended for maximum protection.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your head about one inch above your eyebrows and ears. Compare this measurement to the LS2 sizing chart provided by the manufacturer to find the corresponding size (e.g., XS-L or XL-XXL shell options).
Is the removable chin guard difficult to install?
The chin guard features an easy double-click system for attachment and detachment. Ensure the connection points are clean and aligned, then press firmly until you hear a click. Practice a few times to become accustomed to the mechanism.
What does ECE 22.06 certification mean?
ECE 22.06 is the latest European safety standard for motorcycle helmets. It signifies that the helmet has passed rigorous testing for impact absorption, penetration resistance, and other safety aspects, providing a high level of protection.
How often should I wash the helmet's interior?
It is recommended to wash the interior lining periodically, especially after prolonged use or in hot weather, to maintain hygiene and comfort. Remove the lining and hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry completely.
Does the helmet come with a specific color visor?
The LS2 OF606 Drifter typically comes with a clear, scratch-resistant, and UV-resistant visor. Replacement visors in various tints may be available separately.
What is KPA?
KPA stands for Kinetic Polymer Alloy. It's a proprietary blend developed by LS2, combining polycarbonate, space-age thermoplastics, and other materials. It offers an excellent balance of light weight, high impact resistance, and a degree of flexibility for optimal energy absorption.
Troubleshooting
Chin guard is difficult to attach or detach.
Ensure the attachment points on both the helmet and the chin guard are clean and free of debris. Align the points carefully and apply firm, even pressure. Listen for the distinct 'click' sound indicating secure attachment.
Helmet feels loose or shifts during riding.
Verify the chin strap is securely fastened using the micrometric buckle. Ensure you have selected the correct helmet size by measuring your head circumference and comparing it to the LS2 sizing chart. If the fit is still unsatisfactory, consider if a different size or shell size is needed.
Interior lining is uncomfortable or causing irritation.
Remove the interior lining and wash it according to the care instructions. Ensure it is completely dry before reassembling. If irritation persists, consult a medical professional.
Ventilation seems inadequate.
Ensure the top vent and exhaust ports are open and not obstructed. Check that the channeled EPS is clear of any blockages. Riding at higher speeds generally provides more effective airflow.
