Quin Spitfire Rosso Buckle Issues I bought the Quin Spitfire Rosso. So far I really liked the helmet EXCEPT.... There is, what I perceive, as a design flaw that is very very dangerous, the buckle clasp for the helmet gets caught on the padding and may not not secure all the way. Several times I thought the chin strap was clasped but it was barely in the buckle and then just pulled out with a simple tug. This would easily cause the helmet to come off in an accident. I can't find a way to extend the buckle away from the padding. As it is, I don't feel comfortable using the helmet. I contacted Quin and never received a response.

Not fault of customer service rep Not fault of customer service rep. Poor exchange policy for e-commerce. Quin has no brick and mortar overhead so there is no excuse good enough.

You Don't Always Get What You Pay For Enjoy the helmet's light weight and ratchet chin strap, but that's where the satisfaction ends. For the price, the quality of the helmet overall is lacking (former Shoei owner). The ventilation is poor and the vents themselves appear to be made of cheap plastic. The technology is a nice idea, but it is not Siri compatible which reduces ease of use. And although I do not own one, I'm told the Apple Watch has the ability to detect a hard fall and send emergency alerts and location coordinates, so there's that. Lastly, the sound quality of the helmet's speakers is incredibly poor. (All treble, no mids or lows). I listened to a friend's Sena system after the fact, and Quin has nothing on it. Bottom line is, this helmet is gathering dust on my shelf, and it's not for the lack of riding.

Nice Looks, light and a good price for the certifications. The shell is pretty and the coating on the shell is flawless. The interior is nicely done but is too noisy to hear the speakers at highway speeds. The visor attaching hardware is surprisingly cheap in appearance and hard to imagine holding during an accident. The weight is light and the wind stream is good. The price is good for a helmet with the certifications that have been given.

Very nice looking helmet BUT BIG PROBLEMS Very nice looking helmet with great tech features. HOWEVER!!! in all caps and 3 exclamation points; be aware of their not so usual return exchange policy! They may ship it free BUT IF you return it for any reason even if didn’t fit using Quin’s own size chart you must pay the return shipping which for me using UPS was $47.00. Further, if you want a refund you will be charged for the original free shipping to you as well, a $45.00 fee. So to just try the helmet on and it doesn’t fit your head it will cost you $90.00+ not including your time and hoop jumping. Unheard of policy in this industry! It’s giving would be Quin Helmet owners trouble as well as Quintessential Designs the owner of the made in China, not Texas, Quin Helmet. Beware! They do not point this out prior to sale. China made and nasty penalty for returns and exchanges.
