LS2 is a well-known brand in the motorcycle helmet industry, and their Valiant and Valiant II models were popular among riders for their modular design, ease of use, and affordability. However, the newer LS2 Advant has been recently released, and it comes with several improvements over its predecessor.
One of the biggest improvements of the LS2 Advant is its weight. The Advant is much lighter than the Valiant, making it more comfortable to wear for long periods. In fact, the Advant has a weight savings of 3oz over the Valiant II.
The Advant also has a redesigned shell, which reduces wind noise and improves aerodynamics. The chinbar on the Advant is now on a single pivot point, which offers smoother articulation of the chibar.
The Advant also comes with a helmet bag and backpack, smoke shield, clear shield and pinlock.
In terms of safety features, the LS2 Advant meets the DOT and ECE 22.06 safety standards.
Overall, the LS2 Advant is a significant improvement over the Valiant and Valiant II models. It's lighter, more aerodynamic, and has a better ventilation system. The upgraded interior and locking mechanism also make the helmet more comfortable and secure to wear. If you're in the market for a new modular helmet, the LS2 Advant is definitely worth considering.

Before You Select a Size: Helmet-Fit Facts
A helmet is one of the most important pieces of riding gear you will choose, and the size printed on the label is only a starting point. Head circumference, head shape, crown contact, cheek-pad pressure and the retention system all affect whether a helmet fits correctly. Two helmets marked the same size can fit very differently—even within the same brand.
- Measure around the widest part of your head, keeping the tape level and approximately one inch above your eyebrows.
- A new helmet should feel evenly snug around the entire head without sharp or painful pressure points.
- When you move the helmet gently from side to side, your skin should move with the liner rather than the helmet sliding independently.
- Fasten the retention system and confirm that the helmet cannot roll forward or lift off the head.
- Wear the helmet for several minutes before deciding. Comfort padding may settle with use, but an incorrect shell shape or painful pressure point is unlikely to be solved by choosing blindly.
Why Come to Eagle Leather for a Helmet Fitting?
Our staff is trained to help with helmet fitting and can help you compare head shape, size, pressure points and retention across different models. Inventory changes daily, but Eagle Leather consistently carries many hundreds of helmets—often approaching 1,000 units—across half-shell, open-face, modular, adventure and full-face styles. That selection gives you the opportunity to compare brands and internal shapes instead of relying on a size label alone.
For such an important piece of riding gear, we encourage you to visit Eagle Leather for an in-person fitting before selecting a size without trying the helmet on.
