Our review
The listing describes a chopped fiberglass shell, flip-up front for 2 × 4¼ in lenses, ratchet headgear with a wide backrest, and extra eye-to-lens adjustment for respirators.
Sugar scoops trade the full chin of a standard helmet for airflow and clearance; the 'scoop' cut-outs stop the hood hitting your chest and head when you look down.
Buyers rate the quality and comfort; the weak point is the headband.
