Question on Helmets...

[Latemarch]

Tried on several in the shop.
Settled in on the Shoei RF1000 as the most comfortable.
After riding with it a while I have shaved some foam (about 1/4") out of a couple of areas in the padding where there were pressure points and now it's perfect.

Before I learned how helmets are supposed to fit, I wore anything. Then my dealer fitted me for a BMW System helmet (back in 84). Have had modulars ever since - BMW System 2, System 3, System 4, then Schuberth, now Scorpion EXO-900s. My last BMW helmet (not available in US) saved my face 4 years ago.

ALWAYS wear one while ryding!

Hey Stormtrooper, where'd you get that helmet in your avitar picture. Looks like it would be very protective!
We've gone with the Scorpion EXO also. Good fit. Some have said they are too heavy, but I found it to be just about right for me. The ventilation could be better, but I ride with the shield up most of the time.

I like the Vega Summit II for several reasons.

I wear contacts and this helmet allows extra room to wear sunglasses coupled with the full face shield keeps most of the wind off my eyes.

The flip-up design of the modular is a nice feature so I can do things without taking helmet all the way off (fueling).

The flip up shield allows for extra air to get in and cool things off. Also, the airety of shields available is nice. Easy to swap out.

The space near the ears allows the use of earbuds without any pain from long time wear.

The air vents on the top and front help on very hot days..no question.

It fits very comfortable on my head.

The newest Summit 3.0 has a build in flip down sun blocker...nice.
