ryderjay Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Agv horizon. Has built in sun visor so I don't have to worry about tinted visor at night. Great airflow, good price, light but has a larger shell size due to the drop down sun visor. I love the dropped point at the chin, really helps reduce cold air hitting my chin and neck and it looks good. Check it out on Revzilla, they have a review video on it. http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/agv-horizon-helmets-solids I have the gloss black. Depending on your face shape certain brands will be better for you. Oval shaped heads fit scorpion and suomy well. Round heads fit arai really well. A lot of brands use a neutral shape to target a larger market. Best to try some on after deciding which shape your head is and then find what you like and fits properly. Then go buy it online, you'll find it cheaper online than in a shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryderjay Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Has anyone imported a Euro helmet and had any trouble with the police (no DOT sticker)? I'm finding that some of the Euro retailers have the Euro spec version for ~$100 less than RevZilla and the like. Dot or snell only, you will get hit for that. Importing a helmet will almost cost you $100 so there really isn't any point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slyyder Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Anybody here ever use a Schuberth helmet? My current helmet is noisy as hell, and the C3 Pro is supposedly the quietest helmet on the market. I'm digging the Intensity graphic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aamrr177 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I've only used Bell helmets for the last 40 years - they match the shape of my head best. Currently have a RS-1. About 15 years ago there was a lot of concern with the local racing club (LRRS) that the only people who were getting head injuries were the ones wearing helmets with plastic/polycarbonite outer shells. I can't remember if they banned the plastic-shelled lids, but I know they strongly recommended using fiberglass or carbon fiber shells. I know I took a pretty solid whack with my fiberglass Bell and didn't suffer any ill effects at all. Since I retired from racing soon after, I don't know if they ever changed their position about the plastic shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daufcguy Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I didn't read the last 18 pages so if im repeating i apologize. i use the Bilt techno evolution modular helmet from cycle gear, it $240 and has a 5 year warranty (anything goes wrong with it, take it to the store and swap it out for a new one, i did this when a speaker failed on mine, very painless) the built in retractable sun visor is nice as is the the built in bluetooth, my lady and I both own this helmet and we use it to communicate while riding. I also use the bluetooth for turn by turn gps and to listen to music, its a nice, basic system for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cborcafz07 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 HJC RPHA Max in silver from a local store. Demo model, got it for just over $300 out the door. Got home washed the innards and I love it, especially the internal flip down sunshield. I went through 3, or was it 4?, helmets that I ordered online because they looked cool, but when I got them they didn't fit right, or in the case of the Shark Evoline 3, was way to wide a helmet and I looked like an astronaut. Finally went with the HJC and glad I did as it's pretty quiet and has good dome ventilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mericc Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 @fooschnickens: what's the airflow on that one like? I was looking at it or the Neotec for super hot days here in Phoenix. I currently use a Nolan N104, but I would love something with more airflow, even if it is louder (foamy earplugs are cheap).It's pretty good for me, but I've never really had any issues with overheating no matter what helmet I've worn. It's definitely the most stable I've worn and this is clearly evident as soon as I turn my head to the side to check my blind spot. they designed it to be VERY low drag when facing forward and it shows. Wind noise isn't that bad, either, thanks to the design of it, I can still just *barely* hear the stock exhaust above it at city speeds. I'm anxious to see how well the Sena 20S drowns everything out, it'll be getting in tomorrow. Im running a sena 20s on my gt air, made just a tiny difference on wind noise, speakers do sound better though 2015 Pearl White FZ-07 "such a torky lil guy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yamahaha Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Some very nice hats posted! My original helmet was an open face with a varivisor attached. Loved that hat and had it for many years. My current hat is much the same but with a built in visor. Cheapie hjc. I cannot take to fullface hats. I've tried modular and they still suck and they are too heavy.

Global Moderator mjh937 Posted March 28, 2015 Global Moderator Share Posted March 28, 2015 I am the exact opposite. I would feel naked in an open face helmet. With a face like mine it would be a crime not to protect it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely glad to have music again, and to be able to do so wirelessly. My only gripe with it so far is that voice dialing is very hit or miss, but I can't decide if its the fault of the Sena or Google's voice service on my phone.
