Go to a store and try helmets on. Pointless me recommending something as there seems to be a myriad of shapes and sizes available. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 I've noticed the comfort padding is the big discriminator when you compare helmets on price....

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #3Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #2 yes, part of the reason my Neotec has been durable is that the fabric liner and cheek pads come out easily. They have been through the washing machine several times and are wearing well. |

I have an Arai Defiant with a pinlock anti fog shield. I bought the Arai because I've had 3 or 4 Arai Quantums and I've never had it on my head long enough for it to become uncomfortable. I thought the anti fog shield would be a gimmick but it really works. I can go out on a 30 degree F morning with the shield closed tight and it never fogs. Can comment on intercoms as I've never used one. Different Arai models fit different head shapes to by all means, try one on and walk around the shop for a while. The offer every outside finish from mat paint to wild graphics. I'll admit mine is one of the wild graphics models with bright colors, hopping to be one more way to be seen. |

Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #6 What a great excuse for a ride.... You might already know that one of the forum members from Minnesota likes to get his helmets fitted in Pennsylvania.

Zitat von Peelz im Beitrag #6 I think we are spoilt in Europe with a number of chains that sell just motorcycle clothing and accessories. Most people live within an hour of such a shop. With Covid lockdowns, most have been closed for most of the last 12 months. They can reopen next month in the UK by some have developed excellent mail order services to try to remain solvent, with a free returns service if something does not fit. Do you have such services in |

I virtually lived in a system 5 (I think it was) and was dead impressed with how comfortable, light & airy it was. I thought I'd 'modernise' and treat myself to the 7 (it being a Lupin match didn't hurt my decision 2017 R1200RS Sport SE. 1990 K100RS 16v. |

), but just couldnt get on with the fit. It was a completely different head shape - I think they switched manufacturers.
