Helmets

Yes, I know, there is a whole thread on gear..but..it has really gotten cluttered

Looking into a new helmet, must be able to fit Bluetooth. I have my HJC IS-Max but am looking for a better head protector.

Anyone have the Shoe I RF1100? What do you guys consider the best at reasonable cost?

I have a HJC and like it but that Lazer Monaco looks pretty interesting on Heads post. Some of these helmets get pretty heavy after a long trip. I have a carbon fiber half helmet that i use on the RK and love it. http://www.webbikeworld.com/r2/motorcycle-helmet/lazer-monaco/

The Shubert looks interesting too. The Laser Monaco may be wet in heavy rain by the reviews. Not had that issue with the HJC.

Love my Arai but doesn't offer the flip down shield. If you had a long oval head - the Signet-Q will blow your mind with it's comfort and fit.

That's the most important point. I too own an Arai, but its all about head shape. You've got to try them on, preferably for as long a period as you can stand to walk around the shop looking silly. If the shape of the shell isn't right for your head, no other bells or whistles matter.

I tried every brand in the world and owned a few but in the end - I have an Arai head and don't regret my decision at all.
