![]() But somehow, it’s okay with the helmet on. You get the heat from the skies as there is sparse vegetation and you get heat reflected from the red earth. We ride offroad usually in Ulu Choh, Johor. So for the Airoh Terminator, which I use primarily for dirtbike riding, it is an obvious test. These things you take for granted, and you don’t notice that a helmet wears hot or cool. The helmet’s surface finish, and the vents are top-notch. The visor just catches wind and you get awful turbulence. Ironically unlike my old and trusted Adventure Touring helmet with a built in face-shield. The visor is pretty aerodynamic and does not flop about much. You get buffeting on your goggles, but that is expected. I’ve worn the Airoh Terminator to KL from Singapore on the highway on my KTM Adventure 1190 R and it feels great. ![]() The helmet visor or “beak” does not wobble much at speed. The helmet has a firm feel that gives the impression that the plastic is well-made, especially when riding at speed. The paint job is excellent, and the gloss remains after many hours of use and abuse. ![]() And proudly adorning the back is the sticker with the flag “Entirely Made in Italy”. In my opinion, they don’t get any better looking than this, especially in the raw paint-splatter, with only the bright yellow strip on the mouthpiece. Pick up the box containing the Airoh Terminator and you’ll swear they forgot to insert the helmet, it really does feel that light. That puts it right down there with some of the lightest helmets we’ve tried. I wear an M, and the weight is 1020 grams, plus minus 50 grams. And there are two reasons why a motorcyclist would want to own an Airoh Terminator helmet: Weight and Style. The second in line, next to the flagship Aviator.
