Biltwell - Feature Rich ' Gringo SV '
California based Biltwell has been quietly cooking up a new addition to its helmet line - the ' Gringo SV '. This is an all-new lid , featuring an improved shield closure , like the one used on the ' Lane Splitter ', and Gen2 hinge mechanisms " with some sexy chin bar vents , closeable brow vents , and a rear exhaust ." Meeting ECE 22.06 regs in Europe and DOT FMVSS No . 218 compliance in the United States , three shell sizes replace the previous two for improved fit and comfort . The injection-molded ABS outer shell is lightweight and highly resistant to impacts , and the evolutionary Gringo S shell styling features front , side , and rear vent ports to improve interior airflow , moisture dissipation , and cooling . A new dual density expanded polystyrene ( EPS ) internal safety shell absorbs and dissipates impact energy without compromising comfort and adjustable vents above the eye port let the rider regulate internal airflow to cool and dry the head . A molded urethane chin bar pad dissipates energy during front impact and the chin strap features brushed fleece Lycra touchpoints for comfort , and there ' s a D-ring retention system with red quickrelease pull tab for speedy removal . The CE-certified , injection-molded polycarbonate shield features anti-fog and anti-scratch treatments for durability and safety ; rugged hinge hardware with robust detents allows the rider to open the shield at slow speeds to increase cooling airflow . Anodized aluminum washers and stainless-steel hinge screws can be swapped with different colors and finishes to personalize the look of the helmet ( hinge hardware sets are available separately ). The removable / replaceable comfort liner and cheek pads are constructed with fleece Lycra and open-cell foam padding to absorb and evaporate perspiration , and new BioFoam head form panel and ventilated polyester padding maximize airflow around the head to ensure coolness and comfort . Molded EPS ear pockets fit select aftermarket audio accessories .
