I bought this helmet on LeatherUp.com, and given all the 5-star reviews there I’ll be surprised if my review doesn’t get pulled from the site. But I thought I’d better warn people with my experience.
I bought 2 of these helmets last July, using 1 as my main helmet and another for the wife who’s only rode with me a few times. This April, almost 9 months later, my helmet’s flip-up joints stopped working correctly, so that the face shield won’t stay up on its own (i.e. you flip it up and it falls right back down). Not a problem, since I had my wife’s helmet. I used that for a couple of weeks, and then the bolt that holds the flip-up module to the helmet popped out, stripped threads.
I called LeatherUp about this, and of course there’s only a 30-day warranty. I asked if they had spare parts so I could repair it. They asked me to email them a detailed explanation of what’s wrong, with pictures. So I removed the flip-up face shields from the helmets and was stunned by the dangerously flimsy construction. There are copper/brass bolts that hold the flip-up module to the helmet, and those screw into a nut inside the helmet that only has about 2 rows of threads to screw into; 3 of the 4 bolts on the 2 helmets had already pulled out of those threads! That same copper/brass bolt is a cylinder so that another bolt can screw into it. The threads inside the cylinder were almost entirely stripped on 3 of the 4 bolts! It’s amazing that the flip-up module was still attached to either helmet! In addition, there’s a plastic “arm” attached at the same bolt, and it has the stops that hold the flip-up module up when you raise it. The “arms” are made of extremely thin plastic, and (once again) 3 out of the 4 arms on the 2 helmets were broken! After seeing the construction of these helmets I am absolutely stunned that no one else has posted similar problems!
Now to be fair, the helmets are definitely cheap, but they’re built so cheaply that I question their DOT certification. Also on the positive side the helmets fit me very well and were surprisingly quiet. But I now have no confidence whatsoever in the Hawk line of helmets.

First off, lemme start with this:
Helmet has GREAT looks, and being a modular helmet, you can turn some heads around heh.
But on to reviewing this helmet:
Solid construction, observed some extra protection in between the layers of internal cloth mixed up with a smooth plastic exterior(Extra protection against piercing hazards)
The helmet’s construction is fairly sturdy.
The Vents in the helmet are great, you can actually tell the difference when you pop em open.
The POV is a bit smaller than other helmets, but its not a noticeable difference.
You won’t get all the fancy features of a Shoei/Arai/HDP helmet, but it covers what you need if you are just starting with motorcycles, and hell, plus if you use glasses, this is probably the most cost effective modular you’ll find.

For the money these are some wonderful helmets. I did notice a bit of wind noise on my last long ride, but considering I usually wear a half helmet, these are great for the money.
