Helmets

[Marker]

I wear a full face helmet for all motorsports and always with a SNELL rating.

I like Shoei helmets as they are snell rated ,are light weight, great ventilation and keep out alot of noise.
Just my .02 woth

When you find one you like--- check it out there and see what they think.

I just got a NEXX XR1R Carbon fiber and I LOVE it.....Light, well made, sharp looking, functional... great great helmet.

The NEXX looks and rates really well, but it doesn't have an internal sun shade, and I'm too pampered to get a helmet without one...

I have the HJC IS-16 Scratch...rates very highly and it's at a great price...sure, there are better, but I really like the shade...BTW, I like the yellow NEXX...not as light as the carbon, but still a nice looking helmet and since my bike is yellow...

Review for the IS-16 is below:

I use the exact same AGV Blade, except I ordered a Smoke visor, and have found it to be extremely comfortable and a good value for all the features it has. I especially like the chin strap assembly...very cool.

Tripod :joke:

I just got my RED blade and the quality and workmanship as well as the faceshield changing are superior!! I will use it on Hot Days a lot!!

Half w/visor - ear muffs when required, prefer none, just like my Z3…. In this case, it not like a motorcycle… and it's not an ATV on the dunes….

My wife and I have two helmets each. One full face, one half cap.
The full face helmets are Oneal Tirades. I like them as they have bluetooth, fm, and intercom capabilities. I did order online and went with the fitting specs per Oneal. Each helmet will typically have their own fit chart. When measuring, I pulled the tape gently tight but not too snug on each of us. The helmets arrived and were perfect fit for both of us. Got the gloss black version and they are really good looking. We will use these on longer trips and or cooler weather. http://www.oneal.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=1_70&products_id=852

For short trips to the store or really hot days riding to work, we have our half caps, we got the AFX FX200 with the dual flip down visors. My recommendation is avoid the flip down shields on this helmet. The distortion is very noticable. I like the helmet otherwise and would recommend the same version without the flip downs. http://www.powersports360.com/eshop...mpaign=base&v_traceback=c0330_2351_f0418_1258

Hope that helps. I was very apprehensive about ordering a helmet online, but I took a chance, used the manufacturers fit chart and all worked out well for me.

Best of luck!
