The Origine Primo in Solid Matt Black is a clean, understated version of this classic open-face motorcycle helmet. It combines the Primo's compact 1950s-inspired shape with current ECE 22.06 approval, a removable peak and straightforward urban-riding practicality.

Who is this helmet for?

The Primo suits riders looking for an uncomplicated open-face helmet for urban riding, scooters, retro motorcycles and relaxed road use. Its open design offers a wide field of view, but it does not provide the facial coverage or weather protection of a full-face helmet.

Approval and specifications

• Brand: Origine
• Model: Primo
• Colourway: Solid Matt Black
• Helmet type: Open-face jet helmet
• Approval: UN Regulation No. 22, 06 series, commonly called ECE 22.06
• Approval number: E1*22R06/01*300530*05

The official H541/V541 approval document identifies the Primo as a helmet without an approved visor type. The removable peak is not an eye-protection visor, so use suitable motorcycle eye protection where conditions require it.

Origine Primo size guide

Measure horizontally around the widest part of your head, just above the ears and roughly 1.25 cm above the eyebrows. Repeat the measurement and choose a helmet that feels evenly snug without painful pressure points.

The exact UK distributor listings and official approval document support L as 59 to 60 cm. Origine's current general web chart displays an overlapping 58 to 60 cm entry for L, so riders measuring 58 cm should compare M and L in person. All five sizes are present as variants, although current availability varies by size.

What is supplied?

• One Origine Primo helmet in Solid Matt Black
• Removable three-button peak

Motorcycle goggles and bubble visors are optional accessories and are not stated as supplied.

Product questions

Is a road visor included?

No road visor is stated as supplied. The three-button peak helps with glare but is not eye protection. Origine lists bubble visors and goggles as optional accessories.

Can the peak be removed?

Yes. The official approval covers the helmet both with and without its removable peak.

Is the complete lining removable?

The exact Primo specification confirms removable cheek pads. It does not state that the entire lining is removable, so this listing does not make that broader claim.

How should the Primo fit?

It should grip evenly around the crown and cheeks and remain stable when you turn your head. A new helmet that moves independently is too loose.
