Hey, you stole my thunder...............

I said it before just because you spend 3x's as much for a helmet doesn't mean you are getting a better quality.

For those of you who believe spending almost $600 for a helmet is what you need to do need to read Motorcyclist June 05 "Blowing the Lid Off".

try all of them on and see what you like and what fits you best. Out of your three choices I would go with the Scropion. Vents well and it is very comfortable, not to mention the antifog shield.

None of the above.

At least get a Shoei, but better yet, get an Arai. Really, what's your head worth to you? Arai's are better, period.

VEMAR
Judging on the helmets that he has listed on the poll I don't think he wants to spend $900 on a carbon helmet or $400 on the regular one. Mabye its just me but who wants to spend that much on a helmet? I'm happy with my $200 helmet, but according to alot of you I guess I don't value my head that much or my head is only worth $200. Whatever buy something that fits you and you can always find something else later on that you might like better. I have talked to the guys at the dealers and they all have different opinions too, but they all have said to find a helmet that fits you.

Well i actually picked up one that i didnt even have listed. I went with a AGV Daystar. Norm 299 got it online for 150.00 and yes i did try one on first before i bought it and as soon as i put it on it was perfect. Thanks for all the opinions. Hopefully it will work out for me.

Yeah I did a quck search I found the one for $400 and another carbon helmet for $900. Like I said everyone has their own opinion on what the best helmet is and it looks like he found his.

lang1864-gald you found a helmet that you like. Let us know how it is when your on the bike.
