Just got it in. Awesome! Super uniform throughout. No warping or slight twist. Thick and sturdy. They weld the pieces together, which is fine. The rivets are real through and through and not mindless nowhere decoration. There’s usually a rivet above each weld too. I’m pretty sure it would warp and misshape before any breaking apart of the panels. The inside was done pretty well. Very heavy coating inside but not globbed in there. Of course there’s nitpicks, but for the price of this, are you kidding? At 16g you wouldn’t spar in this, but it really feels like it could take several glaces easily. I’m really impressed with the uniformity of the shape. It’s nice and oval, not circular. And it actually fits the head and face really well. No it does NOT press against the nose. At least with my head shape, the helm leans forward. (It wants to hug the back of my head, it pushes away from the face, naturally( this is ultra key for these non nasal cut helms. It is also humanly proportional. Some cheap sugarloafs are comedically large, this one actually looks properly sized. As far as generic off the shelf goes. Absolutely 5/5 stars. Deepeeka has some diamond gems if you know which ones to look at! Shipping was perfect, helmet was totally secure, not a single scratch I could find. Awesome. Thanks. You’ll need a suspension system, but other than that, there is no way you can go wrong here.
