Premier 'JT5' and 'Typhoon'


Originally founded in California in 1956, Italian helmet brand Premier has added to its range for 2023, with new styles including the Pinlock-ready 'JT5' and 'Typhoon'.

The JT5 is an entirely new project for 2023 and described as "a comfortable and practical jet helmet designed for the city, that is the ideal choice for those looking for a helmet to use in everyday life without sacrificing elegance".


Made in an Aramid epoxy resin shell (offered in carbon or in black, matt grey and glossy white), it is equipped with a double visor - the main one is in transparent polycarbonate with anti-scratch treatment and completely covers the face; the dark inner visor works like sunglasses and is activated by a lever that once raised disappears inside the shell.

The shape of the JT5 is derived from that of a full-face helmet and is equipped with a full-face derived ventilation system - two air intakes on the top of the shell and an extractor on the back. Featuring a wide field of vision, there are two sizes of polycarbonate outer shell, a variable density EPS inner shell and Bluetooth-ready, removable and washable sanitised hypoallergenic liner. ECE 22/06 homologated.


A 'price-point' thermoplastic shell full-face for touring use or as a valid alternate for the urban user, 'Typhoon' is described as having a comfortable ergonomic interior and wide field of vision, with scratch-resistant polycarbonate visor and special locking system.

Additional features include a dark concealed inner visor that allows optimal riding in all weather and light conditions. A Pinlock lens is included in the price and a comprehensive ventilation system consists of four elements - a large air intake on the front and one on the chin guard, plus two extractors at the back.

An "Advanced Padding System" kit is included in the package to allow riders to customise the interior fit.
