RidersDiscount Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 As we’ve mentioned in previous posts about Speed & Strength products, the brand is extremely good at bringing out riding gear that provides a great amount of value. The SS1300 Under the Radar 2.0 is a helmet that exemplifies this by providing DOT/ECE certified safety, comfort, and quality for under $150. The Speed and Strength SS1300 helmet uses their lightweight Thermo-Poly Alloy shell, which is aerodynamically shaped to quietly cut through the air and prevent lifting at speed. It also channels air into the Airstrike ventilation system through two vents on top of the head and one below the faceshield; all of which are fully adjustable. Any air that enters the helmet needs a place to go, so exhaust vents have been strategically placed at the rear. They use the area of low pressure that forms behind the helmet while you are in motion to pull warm, moist air away from your head. No matter how effective the ventilation is, the unfortunate truth is that everyone sweats and this can build up. Speed & Strength uses their Cool Core liner to help keep things fresh when this inevitability becomes an issue. The plush lining wicks moisture away from your scalp in order to keep you dry and can be washed when necessary. It would be easy to skimp on features at a pricepoint like this, but Speed & Strength didn’t fall back on that with the SS1300. One area that received a lot of attention is the faceshield. Their fully optically correct anti-fog shield provides excellent clarity over the entire field of vision. The shield also features a single action locking mechanism that keeps it securely closed with no risk of it popping open. The eyeport has a superb seal in order to keep wind noise to an absolute minimum. All SS1300 helmets come with a clear shield as standard, but you can opt for dark smoke or silver mirror when placing an order. Changing these shields is a breeze thanks to the Lock N Load shield mechanism. If you are riding on a budget and need a safe helmet that doesn’t sacrifice much in the way of features, you will want to consider the Speed & Strength SS1300.

The Speed & Strength SS1300 Under the Radar 2.0 helmet is available in Matte Black (shown) and Matte Green. Shield changes are a breeze thanks to the Speed & Strength Lock N Load mechanism. The shield lockdown switch can also be seen here. Two large upper vents and one below the faceshield bring fresh air into the helmet. Everything is kept securely in place on your head by a quick release chin strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
