Open-face helmets — commonly called jet helmets — occupy a specific and loyal corner of the motorcycling world. They offer a level of openness and visibility that full-face helmets cannot match, and for urban riders, scooter users and classic bike enthusiasts, they represent the right balance between protection, practicality and riding enjoyment.
ADN Helmets makes three open-face models: the Spritz, the Cosmo and the Mojito. All three are ECE 22.06 certified. All three are built for different riders with different priorities. This comparison breaks down what each one offers and which one deserves your attention.

ADN Spritz: The Ultra-Compact Urban Jet
View the ADN Spritz on ADN Helmets
The Spritz has one defining characteristic that sets it apart from virtually every other jet helmet on the market: it is compact enough to fit under a motorcycle seat. This is not a vague marketing promise — the Spritz shell was specifically engineered with this constraint in mind.
Why Compact Matters in the City
If you use a scooter or small motorcycle for urban commuting, carrying your helmet is a daily problem. A full-face helmet is too bulky for most under-seat storage. Even many jet helmets are too large. The Spritz solves this problem directly. For riders who make frequent stops — coffee, errands, the office, the gym — being able to stow the helmet under the seat rather than carrying it is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.
Visor and Colors
The Spritz visor is anti-scratch polycarbonate with a quick-release mechanism for fast, tool-free removal. There is no integrated sun visor, which contributes to the compact shell. The four color options — Nero Opaco, Bianco Puro, Titanio Blu Metal, and the distinctive Rosa Amaranto — show the Italian design flair that ADN is known for. Rosa Amaranto (a deep antique rose) is particularly unusual in the helmet market and popular with style-conscious urban riders.
ECE 22.06 in a Small Package
The Spritz’s small size does not compromise its safety credentials. It is fully ECE 22.06 certified — the same standard applied to full-face and modular helmets. The micrometric buckle closure ensures a secure fit. The interior is removable and washable for easy maintenance.
Best for: Scooter riders, city commuters, anyone who needs to store the helmet under the seat, style-conscious urban riders.
ADN Cosmo: The Feature-Complete Daily Rider

Where the Spritz strips back to essentials for maximum compactness, the Cosmo adds every feature a daily urban rider might want in an open-face helmet. The result is the most comprehensively equipped jet helmet in the ADN range.
The Integrated Drop-Down Sun Visor
The Cosmo’s integrated sun visor is its headline feature. Unlike the Spritz, which requires a visor swap for sun protection, the Cosmo lets you drop a tinted visor into place with a single motion. Crucially, this sun visor is removable without tools — for night rides or maintenance, it comes out easily and reinstalls just as easily. The outer visor also carries UV protection, adding a further layer of eye safety on bright days.
Intercom Compatibility
The Cosmo’s interior is specifically designed to be compatible with intercom systems. For commuters who use Bluetooth communicators to take calls, listen to navigation, or ride with a group, this pre-cut liner makes installation cleaner and more comfortable than retrofitting a non-compatible helmet. This feature alone makes the Cosmo the preferred ADN jet for tech-connected riders.
Anti-Theft Ring and Adjustable Ventilation
Two practical details that deserve mention: the anti-theft ring lets you lock the Cosmo to your bike without carrying it when you make quick stops. The active ventilation system — two adjustable front vents and two rear extractors — gives you meaningful airflow control on hot days, unlike passive open-face airflow which you cannot regulate.
Pinlock Compatibility and Size Range
The Cosmo is Pinlock compatible, which is unusual for a jet helmet. This opens up winter riding possibilities that the Spritz cannot match. The XS-to-XXL size range is the widest of the three ADN jet helmets, making it the best option for riders who need larger sizes.
Best for: Daily commuters who want the full feature set, intercom users, riders who wear glasses, anyone who needs a jet helmet in XXL.
ADN Mojito: The Retro Jet for Classic Style

The Mojito steps into a different arena entirely. Where the Spritz and Cosmo serve the modern urban market, the Mojito is aimed at the classic motorcycle and retro bike scene. Its design language references the vintage jet helmets of the 1970s and 1980s — clean lines, rounded profile, no aggressive modern styling cues.
ECE 22.06 in a Vintage Shell
The most important thing to know about the Mojito is that it does not compromise on safety to achieve its retro aesthetic. It is ECE 22.06 certified — the current European standard — which means it has passed the same rigorous testing as every other ADN helmet, including rotational impact testing. Retro looks with modern protection is a harder balance to strike than it appears, and ADN achieves it with the Mojito.
Who Chooses the Mojito
The Mojito finds its audience among riders of cafe racers, scramblers, classic bikes, and retro-modern motorcycles — the Triumph Bonneville family, Royal Enfield, Moto Guzzi, the BMW R nineT. For these riders, the aesthetic coherence between the bike and the rider matters, and the Mojito delivers that coherence without asking you to sacrifice a current safety certification.
Best for: Cafe racer riders, classic motorcycle enthusiasts, retro-style commuters, anyone who wants vintage aesthetics with modern ECE 22.06 certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are open-face helmets safe enough for motorcycle use?
All three ADN open-face helmets — Spritz, Cosmo and Mojito — are ECE 22.06 certified, which is the current European safety standard for motorcycle helmets. Open-face helmets leave the face unprotected (no chin bar), which is an inherent trade-off compared to full-face designs. However, they meet the same impact protection standards for the areas they do cover. For urban use at lower speeds, they are a legal and tested option. For motorway speeds, many riders prefer the additional protection of a full-face helmet.
What is the difference between the Spritz and the Cosmo?
The Spritz prioritises compactness — it is small enough to fit under a motorcycle seat, has a simpler feature set, and comes in four colors including the distinctive Rosa Amaranto. The Cosmo prioritises daily usability — it has an integrated drop-down sun visor, intercom-compatible interior, active adjustable ventilation, anti-theft ring, Pinlock compatibility, and a larger size range (up to XXL). The Spritz suits riders who need to store the helmet; the Cosmo suits riders who want maximum features for everyday commuting.
Does the ADN Cosmo work with all intercom brands?
The Cosmo’s interior is designed to be intercom-compatible, with the liner cut and shaped to accommodate communication systems. Compatibility varies by specific intercom brand and model — check with your intercom manufacturer or ADN Helmets retailer to confirm that your specific system fits the Cosmo before purchasing.
Is the Mojito only for retro bikes?
No — any rider can use the Mojito legally and safely. Its ECE 22.06 certification applies regardless of what motorcycle it is worn on. However, the Mojito’s retro design is clearly most at home visually on classic, vintage and retro-styled motorcycles. Riders on modern sport bikes or adventure bikes will typically find the Spritz or Cosmo more aesthetically coherent with their machines.
Which ADN jet helmet is best for hot weather riding?
For hot weather, the Cosmo’s adjustable active ventilation system (two front vents plus two rear extractors) gives you the most control over airflow. The open-face design of all three helmets naturally allows significantly more airflow than a full-face or modular helmet, but the Cosmo’s adjustable venting adds an extra level of thermal management that the Spritz and Mojito (both passive ventilation) do not have.
Conclusion: Three Jet Helmets, Three Different Riders
ADN’s open-face range covers the key bases of the jet helmet market without overlapping unnecessarily. The Spritz solves the urban storage problem. The Cosmo packs in the features that a tech-connected daily commuter needs. The Mojito gives the retro scene an ECE 22.06 option with genuine vintage character.
All three are Italian-designed, ECE 22.06 certified, and built to ADN’s standard of accessible quality. Find your nearest dealer at adn-helmets.com/en/physical-stores/.
