KRACESS KRS-S1 Bike Helmets for Men Smart Helmets for Adults with 1080P 60 fps Sports Camera Dual Antenna Bluetooth Womens Bike Helmet

Right off the bat, I am no expert on bike helmets, this is the first one I have ever owned (my parent’s generation considered brain damage to be “character building”). I bought this helmet because I recently got a decent e-bike and felt I might actually need the extra brain protection at the e-bike’s higher rate of speed and the extra features like the bluetooth, camera, signal lights, goggle lens and ear covering seemed appealing to me. Now, I haven’t crashed with this helmet (yet), so I can’t really speak to its actual safety other than to say it does make me feel a lot safer. Its construction seems solid, the adjustable fit is comfortable and doesn’t feel like its ready to fall off, but the helmet is heavier than others I had looked at. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing. A lot of bike helmets look and feel like cheap plastic toys and give the impression that they wouldn’t offer any more protection than wrapping your head in used bubble wrap. This helmet does not feel like that at all. I’m not going to run headfirst into a wall with it, but I feel like I could. As for the helmet’s other features:The bluetooth speakers – they work, and that’s about the best you can say about them. Sound quality is not great, very hollow and tinny sounding. For phone calls or navigation they are fine, but you probably won’t enjoy listening to music on them.The camera – the photos and videos it takes won’t be winning any awards; most modern low to mid-range cell phones take much better pictures and video, but what it does produce is good enough to CYA in an accident or traffic violation. The videos are technically 1080, but they are only 25 fps and only have low bitrate mono audio. The video format is AVI, which produces massive files as they are pretty much uncompressed, and for some reason the camera automatically formats the SD card as FAT32 in some way that makes it unreadable to Android devices. If you want to pop out the SD card and review your video or pictures on an Android phone, forget about it.The signal lights – I do like these. Having turn signals on the back of my head is much easier for the cars on the road with me to see than anything seat or fender mounted. I constantly use them, though I don’t know if anyone is actually paying attention to them…Goggle lens – I REALLY like this. As someone cursed to wear eye glasses who constantly loses his clip on or prescription sunglasses, this thing is great. Shades just enough sun, keeps the wind and bugs out of my eyes and doesn’t even come close to interfering with my glasses. The magnets seem more than strong enough to hold it on, so I don’t really worry about losing it. I also just discovered the optional (purchased separately) clear and yellow tint lenses, so I may pick up an extra for night riding soon.Ear coverings – Yep, it has them… I’ll be honest, I haven’t really used these yet. I stopped using my bike during most of the winter and only got the helmet after things started to warm up again. I’m honestly hoping the ear covers will allow me to keep using the bike in at least some of the cold weather.One final note, and this is mostly a FYI: multiple places in this item’s description, in the Amazon Q&A and even in the manual that came in the box with the actual helmet it states that a memory card for the camera is not included and must be purchased separately. So I bought one. Three, actually, since I found a good deal on a three pack of decent high speed PNY cards. But what did I find packaged up neatly in the box with my helmet? A generic no-name 64GB class 10 micro SD card.I don’t know who to believe now.Honestly, if you are considering this helmet, I would wait to buy a card until after you receive the helmet. Micro SD cards aren’t really that expensive, but why waste the money if they are going to send you one anyway?
