I wear prescription glasses, so I was specifically looking at modular helmets that might fit my glasses underneath. I decided on the GLX 339 after some research, and am very happy with my decision! The fit is as expected-- desertcart didn't have a sizing chart, but if you search the web for GLX helmet sizing chart you'll find one. I measured my head, ordered a Large, and it fits perfectly. It arrived in great condition, and looks fantastic. I got White to match my bike. It comes with a cloth helmet bag with the GLX logo on it. Modular operation and flip-down sun visor works great-- smooth and easy to manipulate. I don't think the weight is a problem; other reviews have mentioned it's heavy, but I've worn it for a few hours at a time and didn't experience any neck fatigue or anything. Wind noise is about normal, I guess? I've never had a 'nice' Shoi or Icon to compare it to, but the full-face Bell helmets I've used have about the same amount of noise. At or above 40mph, if you turn your head left, there is a slight whistle. Cons: -The metal D-rings and button where you secure the strap need to be extended out a little-- as is, they're about 1inch or less from the edge of the helmet which makes it a little difficult to strap on, although it's not really 'hard'. -There's a chin wind guard that could be extended out a bit further for more comfort. -Air leakage with modular piece down and vents closed-- there's a small stream of air hitting right above my eyebrows at ~55mph when there shouldn't be. I think this is a sealing problem around the top of the visor. I think I can fix it with a small piece of foam, but I imagine that for others this may be a breeze hitting their eye which could be problematic. Those cons are pretty nit-picky, but that's about it. I love this helmet. With a little practice, I can now put the helmet on or take it off without removing my glasses which was the main reason I went with this type. Everything fits well, the sun visor is a godsend, and the modular flip-up and down makes me feel like Iron Man! I would definitely purchase again. Review: Well worth it on a budget. - I always spend HOURS reading reviews about many of the items I purchase, it really makes a difference. After much research on motorcycle helmets, I settled on this one. No, it isn't the highest quality, but it will not fall apart under normal use. It is really durable and I would trust it to last for quite a few years. The air vent on the top was broken when I got it, but GLX customer service was knowledgeable and quick to solve the problem at no cost to me. My advice is to pick the next size up if you are on the edge... but be sure that your helmet does fit snugly! PROS: Sun visor (some reviewers said it broke soon... so far mine is doing well) Solid mechanisms for visors Slick matte-black finish that holds up well Comfortable interior and padding Friendly to eyewear (I wear eyeglasses with no discomfort at all) CONS: Chin strap could use more padding, but not horrible None that I can think of, but will update if that changes All in all, a great helmet. Do yourself a favor and spend a little more for something a little nicer like this GLX... I have had a few cheaper ones and they always end up defecting in some way or coming up short. Stop shopping for a helmet, buy this one, and get out and RIDE!!! ## Features - High impact resistant thermoplastic outer shell - Advanced channeling ventilation system - Anti-fog/anti scratch face shield - Integrated sun shield - Fully removable/washable liner ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B005QIG8TI | | ASIN | B00920ADCO | | Brand Name | GLX Helmets | | Color | Matte Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (184) | | Date First Available | July 20, 2012 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817652011861 | | Item Weight | 2.2 Kilograms | | Item model number | 339B-Parent | | Manufacturer | GLX Helmets | | Manufacturer | GLX Helmets | | Model Number | 339-MB-M | | Style Name | standard-motorcycles | | UPC | 817652011861 | ## Images ![GLX Modular Helmet with Sun Shield - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91O-p2UVQZL.jpg) ![GLX Modular Helmet with Sun Shield - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yGftXvPmL.jpg) ![GLX Modular Helmet with Sun Shield - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yajIAv-zL.jpg) ![GLX Modular Helmet with Sun Shield - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/812zaOJNThL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ GREAT Helmet at budget price *by J***D on May 7, 2014* I finally decided to a get a full-face helmet after riding with a 3/4ths for a few months.

The casing is solid and the fit is great. I like it has the option of chin guard down or up, visor down and up as well as the tinted lens. I had a bit of trouble with the tinted internal lens but got that sorted pretty quick. Other reviewers commented on the high level of wind noise and I have to agree with them on that. But with all things considered, its not a big deal. The helmet is nice and light - and with the chin guard in the up position, it does not feel unbalanced. I really like this one and I'm sure the more expensive brands are nicer but I'm more than happy with this. I heartily recommend this model to other riders. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2210197-glx-modular-helmet-with-sun-shield](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2210197-glx-modular-helmet-with-sun-shield) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
