Open face helmet shopping in Saigon starts with fit, not the familiar logo on the shell. BigBike carries LS2 and Xpeed in 3/4 and half helmet formats. Check head shape, face shield layout, and buckle routine before choosing. Use your usual glasses and riding gloves during the in-store try-on.
Coverage around the ears and back separates these formats. A 3/4 shell covers the crown, ears, and rear of the head while leaving the face and chin exposed. A half helmet leaves more of the ears and rear exposed. These formats suit routine urban use. Pick the 3/4 format when extra ear and rear coverage matters. Neither format covers the chin.
OF600 and OF626 are intended for everyday city riding, with the ears and rear enclosed by the 3/4 shell. OF610 serves the same daily urban routine in a half helmet format. Xpeed IS-2V is limited to short trips in town. Skip this category when face and chin coverage is required. Helmets reduce head injury; they do not remove the risk.
Certification markings differ by model. Product listings show OF600 with ECE 22.06 and QUATEST 4 certification in Vietnam, while Xpeed IS-2V carries QCVN 2:2021/BKHCN with the CR mark. Bob OF601 lists ECE and DOT, and OF626 has TCVN Quatest certification. OF610 complies with QCVN 2:2008. OF616 lists QCVN only. Xpeed is an HJC sub-brand, and its half helmet is manufactured at HJC Vietnam.
Prescription eyewear rules out Xpeed IS-2V because its drop-down sun visor interferes with the frame. Other models still need an in-store check. Wear your normal glasses, put on the helmet, and operate the drop-down sun visor with gloves. OF600 uses a button-operated system, but the control layout cannot reveal clearance at the bridge or frame arms. Fit settles the choice.
Western riders often have intermediate oval heads, while Asian-market helmets lean round oval. BigBike weighed OF600 in XL at 1,287g, OF626 in L at 1,285g, and OF610 in XL-XXL at 949g, each with its face shield. Those figures come from different sizes, so they cannot rank models by weight. OF626 carries the Asian Fit label and is slightly round oval. OF610 leans round oval, while OF600 has a compact oval fit. Head circumference cannot show pressure points.
Daily use starts with the liner and chin strap. OF616 pairs a micrometric buckle with a removable liner and speaker pockets. Bob OF601 uses a D-ring and neck roll. The Xpeed half helmet has a quick-release buckle but fixed Nylex lining. OF626 uses a metal quick-release buckle, while OF610 uses a sliding micrometric buckle, and both can be fastened one-handed with gloves. LS2 warranty varies by part and model, so ask the shop before purchase.
BigBike has operated since 2014 at 79/30/52 Au Co, Hoa Binh Ward, Ho Chi Minh City. In-store, staff weigh the helmet, check pressure points during try-on, operate the drop-down sun visor with gloves, and read the rear label. These steps show what a sizing chart misses.
