Which type of helmet do your prefer for "cruising"?

I like what Voztec is developing; I question whether or not they can get it past our beaurocrats... :yikes:

:agree: I think the biggest problem will be with the various state laws regarding the chin strap. They will have to do what Elio says it is doing, working with each state to get the laws updated to keep pace with technology . . . for example, West Virginia law says:
"W. Va. Code, § 17C-15-44
§ 17C-15-44. Safety equipment and requirements for motorcyclists, motorcycles, motor-driven cycles and mopeds; motorcycle safety standards and education committee

(a) No person shall operate or be a passenger on any motorcycle or motor-driven cycle unless the person is wearing securely fastened on his or her head by either a neck or chin strap a protective helmet designed to deflect blows, resist penetration and spread impact forces. Any helmet worn by an operator or passenger shall meet the current performance specifications established by the American National Standards Institute Standard, Z 90.1, the United States Department of Transportation Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 218 or Snell Safety Standards for Protective Headgear for Vehicle Users."

Full face modular, Nolan 103. Might consider a 3/4 helmet because of weight when it's time to replace the Nolan.

The new and much better design of the chin cup here replaces the chin strap, but does the exact same thing, by keeping the helmet planted to the noggin.
The legislators will have to clip one on, and let us try and rip it off... ;-) do that 49 times is all.
Well yeah, or only in the states that require these protective devices.
