Reviews: Masei Helmet Quality - OK

Masei helmets are quite reasonable ranging from US$70 to US$180. Their quality is fair.. quite similar to AFX ones. They mostly import from Taiwanese and Chinese OEM makers. Their Quality Control are still not reaching very top level of famous brands.

Masei graphics are fancy, but the finish is not fairly done. Their gloss clear coat seems thinner. The decals are placed under the clear coat, giving the helmet a more finished look. Again, their gloss clear coats are softer than normal.

Masei helmets look all OK, but the quality of their modular locks and the overall execution are not reaching top-class levels yet. For example, the helmet seems to have a lot of lateral flexibility. When the rotating visor is closed and latched, I can squeeze the helmet and it flexes, both at the shell and around the sides of the chin bar on the rotating visor.

In my opinion. I guess if you're really limited on funds and you really want a good looking modular helmet with fancy graphics, Masei is definitely the best choice. On the market, a normal flip-up costs you at least US$139, but you can get them for US$99 sometimes online.
