Axor Retro Jet Euro Globe Open Face Matt Helmet
The Axor Retro Jet Euro Globe Matt is a flat finish open face helmet with a shaded peak, genuine leather trims and a chin air vent. Fibreglass composite shell, ISI and DOT certified.
The matt paint hides fingerprints and light dust, which makes it an easy helmet to live with every day. Sizes S to XXL.
If you like your gear understated, the Euro Globe Matt is the one to look at. The flat, low sheen paint gives the helmet a calm, old school look, and the shaded peak adds some shade when the sun is low.
It is a practical helmet for commuters. The finish is forgiving on a bike that sees dust, rain and parking lots daily. Other models in the Axor open face helmet range are worth a look if you want to compare shapes.
Why the matt version works for daily use
Matt paint does not show fingerprints or light dust the way gloss does, so the helmet looks tidy even when you have not wiped it down. Fine scuffs also blend in better. The trade off is that you should not polish or wax it, because that leaves shiny patches.
