Time for a new Helmet

how?

how much is your head worth to you? I have a new Arai f/f that cost me $6oo +, its not about the price but features like fit,durability,feild of view, washability, strength, air flow,ease of operation,anti fog and lastly 'look''.With my bike now able to go way beyond my ability, i think its a good investment in my longevity.I think its a big mistake to go for a helmet on 'looks' alone.A pretty paint job aint gonna save sh!t, when youre sliding down the road on ya ass! I learnt along time ago, hunting deer in NZ,if i had $800, spend $600 on a good scope,and $200 on a rifle.Not the other way round.......just my 2.2 cents.......
 
I've had great service outta my helmet over the years..long rides..short rides and
some in wet and windy conditions..i have no intentions of changing it
Yeah..i know it's looking a bit old..but it's always a snug fit and i can still get a
good shine on it

I'm a signet Q head as well. Love mine and could never imagine going another route...except I would love a flip down tinted shield...
 
This is an opportune thread as I am waiting for our local dealer to get a 2XL Nolan Trilogy in for me to try.

It is made of Lexan and has a removeable chin piece and most importantly a much larger height and width of vision. And all for $309AUD!!

I wear glasses have had them for 40yrs but I also wear contact lenses and have for maybe 30yrs.. great for the bike.

If you dont have eye probs like sensitivity give em a try
 
Kiwi:
Will be most interested in your feedback on the Nolan Trilogy, as we are eyeing one as a replacement for the N42 we crashed in June. We like the Nolans.

We trudge on.
 

I think you are just making an inflated but subtle point here RJ
 



http://www.msf-usa.org/downloads/helmet_CSi.pdf I here what your saying Rick but $600+ for a helmet is too rich for my blood. They say most DOT or Snell approved helmets pretty much do the same job. I'd be crying the first time i dropped it
 


Hanso, why don't you use your earmold plugs? Did they reduce the noise by much?

They do reduce the noise a bit probaly best way pf descibing them is they take the higher pitched wind noise but still leave the lower pitch wind noises, mine have the specialtubes which connect to tiny inline speakers which then plugs in to the iPhone, the problem is just they themselves annoy me, after an hour or two I just gotta take them out it seems I have touchy ears
