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.

Got the Quinn spitfire model as a nice little treat for myself. It seemed a good helmet at a fair price with the right amount of tech inside. So now after using it for a while. I can now give a review of my personal experience. Design is neat and modern, and the helmet fits me snug and comfortable. The fact that the helmet has build in sunglass visor is a neat little plus. The helmets Bluetooth is easy and quick to connect. And from here it’s all down hill I’m afraid. The system is not compatible with other Bluetooth devices. The audio function for listening to music, making phone calls or using voice navigation is absolutely some of the worst I’ve ever tried. As soon as you go more than 40 Mph, the wind noise in the helmet is so loud that it makes the Bluetooth tech totally obsolete. You can’t hear anything at all. I tried contacting quinn support for advice. And got told to buy an thicker set of cheek pads (£30) to make the fit more tight. Didn’t work tho. Problem persists and there’s no solution to fix it. The rubber buttons on the side to adjust volume, skip tracks and making phone calls is almost impossible to operate even with the thinnest pair of gloves. Based on this I would not recommend this helmet to anyone. From Quinn there’s no help to get. No offer of refund although the product didn’t deliver as promised. This will definitely not be a company where I will be spending my money again Design and fit ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Build in tech⭐️ Quinn support and customer service ⭐️

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.

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.

The design and comfort of the helmet is fantastic. My two stars are for the horrible sound quality of the speakers. They have no bass, all tweeter and hurt to listen to. I'm actively trying to sell this basically unworn helmet as I can't wear it. My Kardo system is so much better for sound quality.
