7iDP M2 helmet


7iDP’s range-topping open-face lid offers similar features to premium helmets, at half the price. From a safety perspective, it seems that 7iDP have put in the work, with their ‘Conehead’ dual-density EPS liner providing impact protection and decent coverage all around the lid. The M2 feels well vented and the peak can be set out of view despite its limited mobility. Fit-wise, it’s reasonably snug thanks to the extensive and comfy padding, but it feels a little wide at the sides. The price is perhaps reflected in the cheap-feeling ratchet wheel, which we found caused a pressure point at the back of the head. There isn’t any vertical adjustment in the retention system either. But, it’s a great value helmet if you can find the right fit and stomach the lairy colour combinations.
