I have an unusually big head. This is usually not a problem with my day-to-day life, but once I have to go shopping for a helmet, it becomes something of a problem. There are very few fullface helmets that I can cram my head into, but not having anything covering my chin freaks me out. The solution? Go modular. The Helmet I’ve been stuffing my head in for the past half year has been the LS2 FF325 Strobe Civik, and here’s what I think about it.
DESIGN
One of the things I dislike about modular helmets is that they can look, well, a lot like modular helmets. Such isn’t really the case with the LS2 Strobe. A slim chin bar and the graphics break up the profile enough so that even though it’s not smooth all the way around, your eye is tricked into thinking it is. I got the model in white with black accents, which gives it a clean look without being boring. It’s not a super aggressive design that looks like it always wants to be in a full tuck, but it’s not a plain putting about lid either. I think it’s the perfect look for something like a sport tourer—just a little bit of both elements.
Branding is present, but not obnoxious. There are labels on the front, back, and sides, but they’re tastefully done, and don’t really bother me at all.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
