There are no unpleasant pressure points and the field of vision, as one would expect from an open-face helmet, is excellent. In any case I found it very comfortable and, due to the helmet's light weight, totally unobtrusive. Unlike a more classic "jet" helmet, the Spitfire's fit is aimed at oval-shaped heads this is probably due to its somewhat more streamlined shape.

The front part of the fully removable and washable comfort liner, where it fits into the helmet, has air vents that lead to a series of channels in the EPS liner. Another nice touch - and a surprising one given this is an open-face helmet - is the ventilation system. However, this also means that if you're wearing this helmet with goggles, the tabs won't get in the way when you raise the goggles. Our only gripe is with the tabs on the sunshield, which are a bit too small - with gloves on I found I had problems locating and getting a good enough fingerhold on them to deploy the 'shield. Deployed, it provides adequate enough cover to prevent air getting past it and making your eyes water however, once past 100 kph, you might want to wear a pair of shades or clear-lensed glasses underneath to avoid unpleasant draughts (these will also come in handy if you have to ride past sundown). When you retract the sunshield it tucks away into the helmet shell with a click this ensures that it stays out of your field of vision when you don't need it. One clever design feature of the Spitfire is its cable-operated drop-down sunshield, which has two positions to accomodate for more or less protuberant noses. You don't have to wear it with goggles, though. As I observed the Spitfire coiffed with the Barstows, I suddenly had the impression I was looking at a ski helmet in fact, between its fashionable Eighties revival look and its light weight (the manufacturer announces a weight of 1,050 g, though I reckon it's nearer the 1,000 g mark), I reckon you could actually use it as a ski lid. As the helmet has a securing loop at the back for a goggle strap, I quickly fitted my 100% Barstow "OSFA by Dimitri Coste" goggles to it with their own powerful "neo-Eighties" design vibe, they complement the helmet nicely, as well as providing top-notch eye protection. This is highlighted on the "Sunrise" version that we received, with its rootbeer metalflake colour and the very early-Eighties inspired stripes that snake round the helmet. The Spitfire is a slightly modernised version of the classic "jet" helmet shape (think Bell Custom 500 or indeed LS2's own "Bobber" helmet) as such the aft part of the shell (made in HPTT polycarbonate and available in two shell sizes) is slightly stretched backwards, with a small upswept lip at its base, giving it a sleeker more dynamic look.
