I'm looking for a good full face helmet to install a chatterbox in. It needs to have space at the ears for speakers.
So, for those of you who wear a full face helmet, what do you have and what is your opinion on it?

Thanks

Scorpion EXO works great for me...I have several styles from Scorpion and all are fitted with BT gear. Ear pieces fit great and liners have sleeves to allow for the speakers and wires.
 
I like my Icon Airframe a lot. I think they retail for around $250-$260. I got mine for $200 and think that's a bargain considering the quality.
 
Y o u guys ever consider flip up's? The wife and I have matching full-face-flip-up's that work great for our purposes. They tend to be a little noisier than regular full face in direct wind, but with the windscreen it's not that noticeable. It's just more convenient to be able to toss the front of the helmet up out of the way when you want. They also have built in sunglasses that slide down from above.
 
I like full face but am claustrophobic so I need a modular so I can flip it up every once in a while. I have a Shoei Multitec now with autocom speakers installed. They fit fine, but only problem with this helmet is the liner is not removable. It is the best helmet I have owned.

Before the Shoei I had a KBC FFR. Speakers fit fine in it but the flip up mechanism was pretty flimsy.
 
I had always turned my nose up a HJC's since they were the low man on the pole years ago, but they have come along way while still being relatively inexpensive.

We have a pair of HJC flip-up's now and I am very happy with their quality these days.
They have the extra features like removable liners and easily replaceable lenses in all different tints. They have the extra ear space for add-on blue tooth or stereo speakers, and they are now one-hand-lift fronts. I compare them to what Hyundai used to be and what they are now. They've come along way and still cost less than $250.
 
You might check the Nolan N-Com helmets. They are designed for Nolan's bluetooth intercom system.
 

Thanks for the link.
What about wind noise? How is the ventilation?

Thanks for the info.
I've heard good things about Scorpion, I didn't know they had sleeves for the speakers and wires, that's a good idea.
