Matt, graphic and easygoing. The GTJ Rambler in a matt finish suits riders who like a helmet that looks good without looking loud.
It comes from SMK's GTJ open face series, built for tourers and urban riders. You can also see the gloss Rambler with a shiny finish. The full line is in our SMK GTJ helmets.
Straight lines do the work on the Rambler: angled stripes sweep from the front along the side, with small groups of slanted lines as accents. It is a tidy, sporty pattern.
The idea
The liner comes out for washing, which matters in the Indian summer, and the padded chin strap stays comfortable through a long afternoon.
If your helmet sits on the bike more than on a shelf, a matt shell wears the day to day better, because small marks blend into the finish.

Sizes and shells
Check your head with a tape, one inch above the eyebrows, then look up your size in the chart above. Shell M covers S and M at around 1,450 g, and shell L covers L, XL and XXL at around 1,550 g, give or take 50 g. If you are between sizes, read our helmet fitting guide.
Safety standards
ISI certification is what the law asks for in India, and this helmet adds DOT and ECE 22.06 on top. Confirm the labels when the helmet arrives. Open face helmets suit relaxed riding best, since your jaw and face stay exposed.
Keeping it clean
Keep silicone sprays and wax away from the matt finish, since they leave patches. Mild soap and a soft cloth are enough, and the helmet maintenance guide explains the rest.
Warranty
The helmet comes with a one year manufacturer warranty.
