Anybody wearing a Bell Star or Bell RS-1 Full Face?
Considering a full face helmet for the cooler weather. After looking at several different makes and models I'm very interested in a Bell Star or RS-1. I've been looking but haven't found any locally yet, looking for some feedback, good, bad or indifferent.
TIA, Erich

not exactly answering the question, but ...
I've been using an HD modular full-face helmet for the last 5 months, and I have no complaints. I think I paid $250 for it. It's pretty well ventilated and hasn't been uncomfortable in *hot* weather. How bad could it be when it's cold out? You can use a drop-down smoke-tinted sunscreen to protect your eyes from bugs and grit without closing the visor.

Whatever you get, make sure its SNELL 2010 rated. Virtually all modulars are not and cannot pass because the chin guard breaks loose which isn't good.
Bell, Arai and Shoei all make great helmets. Bell has a head scanning service for two of their helmets for a perfect and ideal fit. Very cool.

Thanks gents! I just purchased a Bell Star Carbon Race Day on sale for almost half price ($339) and a Bell RS-1 for my brother, the Roland Sands limited edition at half price, ($224) free shipping and no tax! Both have arrived, great looking and fit great! Thanks for the feedback. I also purchased the transition shield as well!
If anyone is considering a nice full face helmet now is the time with all the sales going on.
