The new Vespa VJ1 helmet<\/p><\/div>\n

Vespa\u2019s new VJ and VJ1 Helmets offer the best of both worlds \u2013 modern features and materials wrapped up in traditional open-face styling.<\/p>\n

Ideal for urban use, the new helmets feature a demi-jet design for all-round vision on congested streets in towns and cities, and are compact enough to fit inside the under-seat storage compartments on most scooters, as well as in top boxes and side cases.<\/p>\n

Unlike many traditional open face lids, both the VJ and VJ1 feature a retractable sun visor. The VJ also comes with a full-length clear external visor as standard for added protection against the weather, dust and dirt thrown up from busy roads.<\/p>\n

Safety is taken care of by a strong and lightweight ABS shell, fully approved to the current ECE2205 safety standard. Both the VJ and VJ1 are held firmly in place by a micro-adjustable seatbelt-style strap and fastener. This is quick-release system, so there\u2019s no fiddling around when your destination is reached.<\/p>\n

A breathable textile lining keeps the rider comfortable and cool in the heat of the city, and it\u2019s removable and washable.<\/p>\n

Finished with a stylish chrome rim and a subtle Vespa logo on the front, both the VJ and VJ1 will look the part on any retro ride.<\/p>\n

The VJ comes in sizes XS to XL and available in Black, White, Grey and Red while the VJ1 also comes in XS-XL and is available in Black, White and Blue.
