SMK GTJ Solid Open Face Matt Helmet
The SMK GTJ Solid Matt is an open face helmet with a matt finish, a plain matt shell. It is certified to ISI, DOT and ECE 22.06.
Sizes S to XXL on two shell sizes, with a one year manufacturer warranty.
Plain and matt is a combination that never dates. The GTJ Solid in a flat finish is quiet, understated and easy to match with riding gear.
This is SMK's GTJ helmet without graphics. The gloss Solid offers the same thing with a shine. The full line is in our SMK GTJ helmets.
The idea
It suits riders who want a helmet that disappears into the outfit, with a sun visor and speaker pockets doing the clever parts out of sight.
A single flat finish also makes it a sensible choice for shared bikes or couples, since it suits different riding gear without a clash.
Everything included
- Visor that comes off fast when you need a swap
- Impact absorbing multi density EPS
- Internal retractable sun visor, lowered with an easy gesture when the light changes
- Removable, washable liner that is kind to sensitive skin and quick to freshen up
- Two shell sizes made from EIRT, an energy impact resistant thermoplastic
- Padded comfort chin strap with a quick release buckle
- Speaker pockets, so a Bluetooth headset does not press on your ears
- Top vents, channeled intakes and a rear exhaust keep air moving
- Wide outer visor with a scratch resistant surface that copes with daily use
Sizes and shells
Not sure of your size? Measure your head one inch above your eyebrows and compare it with the chart above. A helmet on the M shell (S and M) weighs about 1,450 g, and one on the L shell (L, XL, XXL) about 1,550 g, within 50 g. Our helmet fitting guide shows what a good fit feels like.
Safety standards
The helmet is certified to ISI, DOT and ECE 22.06. ISI is the standard Indian law asks for, DOT is the US standard and ECE 22.06 is the newest European one. Check the label inside when it arrives. It is an open face helmet, so your jaw is uncovered, and it suits city and relaxed riding better than fast highway runs.
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.
